The Warriors have agreed to trade Damian Jones and a second-round pick to the Hawks in exchange for Omari Spellman, according to NBA insider Shams Charania.
Jones was a spot starter for Golden State last season, but only played 49 games for the Warriors over the last three years.
The Warriors drafted Jones out of Vanderbilt with the last pick in the first round of the 2016 draft, and he bounced back and forth from the NBA roster and the G-League’s Santa Cruz Warriors.
In Spellman, Golden State gets a second-year power forward who can stretch the floor a bit. Spellman shot 34.4 percent from three in his rookie season with Atlanta, averaging 5.9 points and 4.2 rebounds.
Spellman is another 30th pick in the draft — Atlanta received the 2018 pick from the Rockets via the Clippers. He won the 2018 NCAA championship with Villanova before declaring for the draft.
It is not clear yet which second-round pick the Warriors will send to Atlanta in this deal.
