Atlanta will give up its 2030 second-round pick and the less favorable selection between the Hawks' or the Los Angeles Lakers' 2032 second-round pick.
Wiggins, 27, arrives after five seasons with the Thunder.

In the 2025-26 season, he averaged 10.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.8 assists while shooting around 38% from three-point range for his career.
Wiggins is under a team-friendly contract, having signed a five-year, $45 million extension before the 2024-25 season. Just over $17 million remains guaranteed over the next two years.
