There has been a lot of talk about the Atlanta Hawks being active in the trade market and on Thursday afternoon they made their first splash.

"This is not so much about Jeff Teague," explains Hugh Douglas. "It's about how much he's willing to help Trae, be a teacher, and show Trae how to defend a little bit better."

Jeff Teague was drafted by the Hawks in 2009 with the 19th overall pick, and he stayed in Atlanta until being traded to the Pacers during the 2016 offseason.
