Summary
Oklahoma City trades Aaron Wiggins to Atlanta for future second-round picks, slashing their luxury tax from over $200 million to around $150 million. Wiggins, averaging nearly 10 points last season, brings value as a solid rotation wing — a testament to OKC’s development. Atlanta, using a trade exception, absorbs his contract and bumps up against the tax apron, but it’s manageable. Both teams win: OKC gains financial breathing room, Atlanta gains a proven contributor. The deal finalizes July 6, and Wiggins’ fit with Atlanta will be key. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
