The Atlanta Hawks<\/a> continue to do business as they send Jabari Parker<\/a><\/strong> and Alex Len<\/a><\/strong> to the Sacramento Kings<\/a> for Dewayne Dedmon<\/a><\/strong>. The Hawks will also send their 2020 and 2021 second-round picks according to Adrian Wojnarowski.<\/a><\/p>\n

Atlanta Hawks Flip Jabari Parker and Alen Len For Dewayne Dedmon<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Dewayne Dedmon Returns to the Atlanta Hawks<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In what has been a busy week for the Atlanta Hawks, they strike a deal once again before the trade deadline closes. After landing Clint Capela<\/a><\/strong>, they add a solid backup center in their roster as well. Dedmon has shown he is capable of producing in the right system when he averaged 10.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, 0.9 steals, and 1 block a game for the Hawks before.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old has been out of the rotation for the Kings this season after signing a three-year, $13.3 million contract in the offseason. The Kings opted to go with Richaun Holmes<\/a>, Marvin Bagley<\/a>, Nemanja Bjelica<\/a><\/strong>, and even Harry Giles<\/a><\/strong> at times this season. This move makes sense for the Kings and Dedmon as the big man previously requested for a trade last December.<\/a><\/p>\n

Dewayne Dedmon joins an Atlanta Hawks squad which has Clint Capela, Nene, and Damian Jones<\/a><\/strong> at center. He can become the veteran presence that will help the Hawks make a late playoff push in the Eastern Conference. Sitting at 13-38 and bottom of the Eastern Conference, they will want to start competing to satisfy Trae<\/strong> Young’s<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0production.<\/p>\n

Sacrameto is trading Dewayne Dedmon to Atlanta for Jabari Parker and Alex Len, sources tell @ZachLowe_NBA<\/a> and me. Atlanta also gets two second round picks.<\/p>\n
