FEBRUARY 7: The trade is official, according to press releases from both teams. In order to make room on their roster to complete the deal, the Hawks have waived forward David Roddy.
Within the Clippers’ announcement of the trade, president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank spoke glowingly about Mann, lauding him for “what’s he’s meant to our organization” and the “imprint” he left on the team. Frank also said the club is grateful to Hyland and hopes he gets the opportunity to play more regularly as a result of the deal.
General manager Landry Fields said in the Hawks’ statement that the club is grateful for the “passion and heart” Bogdanovic played with, adding that Mann is “someone we’ve liked as a player and person for a long time.”
FEBRUARY 6: The Hawks are trading Bogdan Bogdanovic to the Clippers for Terance Mann and Bones Hyland, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania (Twitter link).
In addition to receiving Bogdanovic, the Clippers will obtain three second-round picks. According to The Athletic’s Law Murray (Twitter link), those second-round picks are Minnesota’s in 2025, the Clippers own in 2027 and a protected 2026 Grizzlies selection.
The Grizzlies’ 2026 second-round pick will be sent to the Clippers if it lands between 31-42, according to Murray (Twitter link). The 2027 pick sent back to the Clippers is their own that was originally moved in the 2023 five-team trade that ultimately saw Dillon Brooks land with the Rockets.
The trade of Bogdanovic was anticipated by several reporters in the weeks leading up to the deadline. In recent days, his name was brought up in rumors involving Brandon Ingram before the latter was sent to Toronto.
A career 38.0% three-point shooter, Bogdanovic is having a bit of a down year for the Hawks, shooting just 30.1% from deep and averaging 10.0 points per game after recording 16.9 PPG last year. The Clippers are hoping he’ll round into form for a team with playoff aspirations.
In addition to rolling the dice on Bogdanovic, the Clippers wil open up a roster spot by moving two players out in exchange for one. That will help make the team a player in the buyout market while being $2.4MM below the tax.
The Clippers are also able to shed some future salary by moving off Mann’s contract, which is guaranteed through 2027/28. Bogdanovic’s contract is guaranteed for $16.02MM next year, but he has a team option for the same amount in 2026/27.
As noted by ESPN’s Bobby Marks (Twitter link), the Clippers increase their available second-round picks from one to four in this move as well.
While Bogdanovic and Hyland both came up in external trade rumors this season, there wasn’t much reported activity regarding Mann heading into the deadline. However, as NBA insider Jake Fischer reports (Twitter link), the Nuggets were another team that had serious interest in acquiring Mann.
The six-year NBA vet spent his entire career with the Clippers to this point after he was the 48th overall pick in the 2019 draft. His minutes have declined this season and he’s averaging just 6.0 PPG in his reduced role.
Hyland, the 26th overall pick in the 2021 draft, was traded to the Clippers originally at the 2023 deadline. However, he didn’t break into the rotation and is out after about two seasons. Still just 24, Hyland is a strong three-point shooter (36.4% career average) and scorer (9.7 points per game), giving the Hawks an upside swing if he sticks around.
As a result of their three reported deals today, which send out De’Andre Hunter, Bogdanovic and Cody Zeller, the Hawks will remain out of luxury tax territory.
All players in this trade are horrible this season lol
very true. big drop in value for Mann, who they were determined to keep when they were working out the deal for harden.
Keep tearing it down for the Spurs picks!!!!!!
Noooo Mann traded? I thought he was the next MJ. Could not understand any circumstances be traded when the Harden deal was going down.
Mann’s numbers this season have been booty.
MJ wishes he was as good as Mann. He was the only untouchable on the Clippers last year. This is a bigger mistake than the Mavs trading Luka!
Meh
Did not expect the Clippers to be giving up Mann at the deadline but Bogdan is a solid player.
Harden Powell DJJ Kawhi Zubac
KPJ Bogdanovic Coffey Batum Eubanks
Dunn Miller Brown Jones
This is just there line up at a guess
I think they look a little small.
I don’t know if he’s available at all but I’d offer DJJ and Kobe Brown plus 3 second round picks for Herb Jones.
Harden Powell Kawhi Herb Zubac
That looks tougher and more of a threat
Leonard’s days of being a constant threat are behind him
Good trade for both sides, Mann can bring some defense and playmaking for Atlanta. Bogdan can bring shooting and scoring to the Clippers plus he has chemistry with Zubac already.
Between this and the Hunter deal, ATL helps their balance sheet going forward, but not categorically so. Activity far more than achievement.
LeVert, Niang, Mann and Hyland in, Hunter and BB out. Pick up 3 SRPs (from CLE), and then trade 3 SRPs (to LAC). The FRP swaps (subordinate to prior swaps) look to have little to no value. Mann looks like the only keeper longer term. At least the JJ extension which kicks in next season will still leave them well below the tax line.
Wasn’t Mann the holdup in a trade at the beginning of the season (maybe even the Harden trade). Has he really lost all value? I went to a clipper game last month that happened to be Terance Mann bobble head night . The crowd loved him
Atlanta now with Dyson Daniels and Terance Mann, ensuring they always have someone that can play with Tre…surprised the Clippers traded Mann, but they have had a couple of redundancies, and they still have Kris Dunn; I have to look at their roster when this is all over. I’ve admittedly not paid as much attention to them as I normally would
So it’s Trae, Johnson(when he recovers),Dyson ,Mann and Okongwu…they left Trae with little to no help, the first rounder still is owed to spurs so what is ATL doing???? Trying to become the hornets????
The Hawks moved sideways with this move…
They still have Trae so they need all defensive talents at the other 4 starting spots…
The Clippers just got older…
It wasn’t that long ago that Mann was absolutely untouchable in trade talks, apparently
love this for Atlanta. Mann needs more playing time and will have carte blanche. bones helps too, as Trae is beyond gassed
Until Atl moves on from Trae they are just spinning their wheels in the mud Imo. This will continue and continue and continue ………
Traes agents will be on the front offices doorstep 2 weeks after the season ends
This will be Atls biggest test and perhaps one of the most crucial days in franchise history , I really like the rest of this ATL team but I think we all know (fear) what will happen this summer to this organization
