LANDALE LANDS IN ATLANTA
In a three-team trade, the Atlanta Hawks acquired center Jock Landale from the Utah Jazz; Utah acquired guard Lonzo Ball and two future second-round draft picks from the Cleveland Cavaliers.
What does it give the Atlanta Hawks
Landale is a serviceable backup center at the NBA level, so look for him to play that role with the Hawks.
What does it give the Utah Jazz
Utah moved on from Landale and was able to secure to future second-round picks in this deal, so that was a solid move.
What does it give the Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cavaliers moved out a couple of future second-rounders in a money move to offload Ball in this transaction.
Fantasy impact
Landale is unlikely to play enough to be much of a fantasy factor for Atlanta down the stretch. As for Ball, he is unlikely to stick in Utah. Expect him to be waived.
