The Los Angeles Clippers have made a key move ahead of the NBA trade deadline, acquiring guard Bogdan Bogdanovic and three second-round picks from the Atlanta Hawks. In exchange, the Los Angeles franchise sends Terance Mann and Bones Hyland to Atlanta.
This transfer aims to strengthen the Clippers’ offense, as they seek greater depth in their outside rotation. Bogdanovic, 32, is averaging 10.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists this season, with a solid 30% shooting from three-point range. His experience and scoring ability make him an ideal complement for Tyronn Lue’s team, which aims to be a contender in the West.

The Hawks, meanwhile, have opted to rejuvenate their roster and strengthen their perimeter defense with the arrival of Mann and Hyland. Mann, 28, is a versatile player who brings energy on both ends of the floor, while Hyland, 24, offers offensive dynamism and good outside shooting, although he has struggled to settle into the Clippers’ rotation.
This exchange reflects the strategies of both teams: the Clippers are relying on the experience and offensive power of Bogdanovic in their fight for the postseason, while the Hawks are looking for freshness and future development. With the final stretch of the season underway, this move could be key to both franchises’ aspirations.
