ATLANTA, GA – Hinugot ng Atlanta Hawks si forward Ersan Ilyasova bilang kapalit ni Tiago Splitter, ang protected 2017 second-round draft pick at ang karapatang ipalit ang 2017 second-round picks ng Philadelphia 76ers sa sariling 2017 second-round pick ng Hawks.
Ito ang inihayag ni President of Basketball Ope-rations/Head Coach Mike Budenholzer.
“We are excited to welcome Ersan, and his fa-mily, to the Atlanta Hawks. He’s a high-character, proven veteran who we’ve liked for many years and believe fits well within our system,” sabi ni Budenholzer. “We also want to thank Tiago for his contributions on and off the court. We wish him all the best in the future.”
Sa kanyang pang-siyam na NBA season, napanood si Ilyasova sa 583 career regular season games (353 starts) kung saan siya nagtala ng mga average na 11.0 points, 6.0 rebounds at 1.1 assists sa loob ng 24.4 minutes.
Ang tubong Eskisehir, Turkey ang 36th overall pick ng Milwaukee Bucks noong 2005 NBA Draft. Gagamitin niya sa Hawks ang uniform No. 7.
