Atlanta Hawks Trade Jeff Teague to Pacers

960x0-1

The Atlanta Hawks are sending guard Jeff Teague to the Indiana Pacers as part of a three-way deal that includes the Utah Jazz.

Point guard George Hill will go from the Pacers to the Jazz, and Utah will send the No. 12 pick in Thursday’s draft to Atlanta.

While the deal cannot be announced officially, Hill’s agent, Bill Neff, confirmed the details to The Associated Press.

Sources tell ESPN’s Marc Stein that the Hawks plan to shop the No. 12 as well as the 21st overall pick in Thursday night’s draft, in hopes of creating further financial flexibility that would allow them to re-sign big man Al Horford and swingman Kent Bazemore.

The Hawks want to hang onto both players and know Horford and Bazemore will receive significant interest from other teams. ESPN reported earlier Wednesday that the Orlando Magic, Detroit Pistons and Los Angeles Lakers are among the teams that plan to pursue Horford once free agency starts July 1.
