Trail Blazers Acquire Vit Krejci from Hawks in Multi-Player Trade

The Portland Trail Blazers have traded for guard Vit Krejci from the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for Duop Reath and two future second-round picks, including a 2027 Atlanta second-rounder and a 2030 second-rounder via the New York Knicks. Krejci, who has spent four seasons with Atlanta, averages nine points, 2.2 three-pointers, and shoots 42.3% from the field, ranking among the NBA's top 20 in three-point shooting. He provides valuable floor spacing for the Trail Blazers, who are competing for a play-in tournament spot this season. Krejci has two years remaining on his contract after this season and is extension-eligible in the offseason. The Hawks now hold seven future second-round picks and may create roster space by waiving Reath, who recently underwent season-ending foot surgery. Krejci, who has shot at least 40% from deep for three consecutive seasons, could find a role as a sharpshooter with Portland, which has significant wing depth but lacks consistent outside shooting. Krejci was limited by an ankle injury recently but has shown potential as a specialist shooter. The trade reflects ongoing league activity, with ESPN providing live updates and trade tracker details for the 2025-26 NBA season.
