76ers sending Ersan Ilyasova to Hawks

The Philadelphia 76ers are finalizing a trade that will send forward Ersan Ilyasova and a second-round pick to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for center Tiago Splitter and two second-round picks, according to Adrian Wojnarowski.

What It Means:

Ilyasova should provide the Hawks some valuable depth up front and can help stretch the floor ala starter Paul Millsap. His fantasy value will likely take a hit however, in what projects to be a reduced role in Atlanta. Splitter isn't relevant, but Dario Saric becomes a must-own player in Philadelphia now with the increased opportunity.

Ilyasova is averaging 14.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.0 3-pointers in 27.3 minutes per game this season. His -0.9 nERD ranks just outside the NBA's top-100 players while his 23.3 percent usage rate is a career-high.
