Trade Analysis
Atlanta Hawks Perspective
Atlanta escaped Johnson's 6-year, $119M contract while collecting a first-round pick and depth. Larkin was later traded for additional assets. Brooklyn got the best immediate player but absorbed one of the league's worst contracts, limiting future flexibility. A cap and asset victory for Atlanta.
