The Sacramento Kings approached the Atlanta Hawks about a potential trade for John Collins, but did not discuss the inclusion of either Tyrese Haliburton or De'Andre Fox, sources tell Zach Lowe of ESPN.

Haliburton and Fox were Sacramento's best two trade chips heading into the deadline period, but the presence of Trae Young would complicate that return for the Hawks.

The Kings instead shifted to a Haliburton for Domantas Sabonis deal while the Hawks decided to retain Collins.

The Hawks made their deadline move in January by receiving a first round pick for Cam Reddish.
