As the NBA trade deadline approaches, the Atlanta Hawks are asking for a high second-round draft pick in exchange for either Marco Belinelli or Ersan Ilyasova, sources told Basketball Insiders' Michael Scotto.
The veterans are logical candidates to be moved. The 31-year-old Belinelli and 30-year-old Ilyasova are both in the final year of their contracts, and don't figure in the rebuilding Hawks' long-term plans.
The pair are currently the team's fourth- and fifth- leading scorers, respectively, and both have value given their ability to space the floor.
