Hawks pull trigger on Buddy Hield trade as roster overhaul continues
The Atlanta Hawks are shaking up their roster again, trading Buddy Hield and Ryan Nembhard to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for veteran wing Dorian Finney-Smith.
The Atlanta Hawks have acquired veteran forward Dorian Finney-Smith from the Charlotte Hornets in a multi-player trade, part of the team's ongoing roster overhaul. In exchange, the Hawks sent sharpshooter Buddy Hield, guard Ryan Nembhard and cash considerations to Charlotte. Finney-Smith is expected to bolster Atlanta's defense and perimeter shooting, while Hield and Nembhard will help Charlotte create additional financial flexibility.
Hield's stay with the Hawks was short-lived, with the veteran guard appearing in only seven games last season. Finney-Smith, who signed with Charlotte earlier this offseason, brings experience, versatility and a strong defensive game to Atlanta's lineup.
