Trail Blazers Acquire Vit Krejci in Trade with Atlanta Hawks
Atlanta gains seven future second-round picks and roster flexibility while Portland adds top-20 three-point shooter Vit Krejci ahead of the NBA trade deadline.
- On Sunday, the Portland Trail Blazers acquired guard Vit Krejci from the Atlanta Hawks for center Duop Reath and two future second‑round picks, including Atlanta's 2027 pick and a 2030 pick via the New York Knicks, ESPN reported.
- Atlanta moved off Krejci to create cap space as Reath recently underwent season‑ending surgery on Thursday, while Portland seeks spacing due to 33% three‑point shooting, sources say.
- Krejci averaged 9.0 points this season with 2.2 three-pointers made per game on 42.3% shooting and ranks 16th out of 179 in catch-and-shoot three-point percentage at 44.6%.
- The Hawks now have seven future second‑round picks after the trade, boosting their draft options and fan interest, as coverage notes that re‑acquiring Reath could be a major win if they bring him back.
- Krejci's contract—two seasons left and extension‑eligible this offseason—frames Portland's low‑risk, high‑reward move, timed four days before the NBA trade deadline.
