The Atlanta Hawks are trading a package of three players and a draft pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for point guard Patty Mills, ESPN reported Saturday.
Atlanta will save $4.5 million in a deal that sends guard TyTy Washington, center Usman Garuba and forward Rudy Gay plus a second-round pick to Oklahoma City.
