Hawks Offered John Collins, De'Andre Hunter, First Round Pick To Nets For Kevin Durant

Aug 22, 2022 10:26 AM

The Atlanta Hawks offered a package of John Collins, De'Andre Hunter and a draft pick to the Brooklyn Nets for Kevin Durant within the past month, sources tell Shams Charania of The Athletic.

The Hawks used most of their draft capital to trade for Dejounte Murray in June, just a few days before Kevin Durant requested a trade from the Nets.

Like so many of the talks centered on Durant, Atlanta's offer has gained little traction.
