The Hawks have traded Marvin Williams to the Utah Jazz for guard Devin Harris.
“Just going online and on SportsCenter: Hawks have agreed in principle to deal Marvin Williams to Utah for Devin Harris to shed even more $”, Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) tweeted.
SB Nation Atlanta reported that this deal is similar to the one that sent Joe Johnson to the Brooklyn Nets in that it’s acquiring an expiring contract to get rid of a lengthy and perhaps overpaid one.
Harris’ contract ends after the 2012-13 season which puts the Hawks in position to go after Dwight Howard next summer.
The Nets appear to be out of the running for Howard because of the earlier Johnson deal, so this can only get more interesting.
