The Atlanta Hawks<\/a> are trading guard Vit Krejci<\/a> to the Portland Trail Blazers<\/a> for Duop Reath<\/a> and two future second-round picks, sources told ESPN on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Trail Blazers are sending a 2027 Atlanta second-rounder back to the Hawks along with a 2030 second-rounder via the New York Knicks<\/a>, sources said.<\/p>\n

Krejci has averaged 9 points and 2.2 3-pointers made per game on 42.3% shooting, which ranks top 20 in the NBA. He brings additional floor spacing to a Trail Blazers team competing for a play-in tournament berth this season.<\/p>\n

The Hawks now have seven future second-rounders at their disposal, according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks. The move allows them to create roster space if they decide to waive Reath as well.<\/p>\n

Krejci, who has spent four of his five NBA seasons in Atlanta, is also making 44.6% of his catch and shoot 3-pointers this season; that is 16th out of 179 players in the league this season (min. 100 attempts), according to GeniusIQ.<\/p>\n

Krejci has two years left on his contract after this season but becomes extension eligible in the offseason.<\/p>\n

Reath underwent season-ending foot surgery Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shams CharaniaFeb 2, 2026, 03:59 AM CloseShams Charania is a senior NBA insider for ESPN.
