He had Gallo waiting on top of the key with John Collins to his left and a cutting Kevin Huerter under the basket for the Hawks. Three Raptors defenders collapsed on Young and crowded the paint but the pressure didn’t get to the 22-year-old and as he took his time and found the best option in Snell.</p><p>Snell, for his part, didn’t disappoint. The journeyman, who’s been a staple in Atlanta’s starting unit for the past few games, knocked down his second triple of the night to give the Hawks the slim one-point win over Toronto.</p><p>Snell logged in 26 minutes and totaled six points, four rebounds, two assists, and had a +11 rating for the Hawks, who moved to 17-20, tied with the Raptors in the East. The Hawks’ head-to-head win gives them a standings tiebreaker which technically makes Atlanta the eighth-place team in the East. Toronto is ninth.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Snell’s three-point bomb didn’t even touch the rim as his smooth jumper hit the bottom of the net as the final buzzer sounded to spoil the start of the second of the season for the 2019 NBA champs.</p><p>Watch Snell’s <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPointsApp/status/1370210378114682880?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1370210378114682880%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fclutchpoints.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D1033633action%3Dedit">break the hearts</a> of the entire city of Toronto (and Tampa) here:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">TONY SNELL.

As the defense collapsed, Young had a couple of options with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/players/danilo-gallinari/ad6609ce">Danilo Gallinari</a> on the top of the key or a cutting Kevin Huerter near the rim.</p><p>But, Young stayed patient and composed and eventually found Snell who had a higher-percentage shot given that the Raptors defense were all glued to Young’s other options.</p><p>The 29-year-old journeyman took his time and knocked down his second three-pointer of the game to help the Hawks win their third straight win. With big shots like this, it sure seems that Snell’s spot in the Hawks’ starting unit should be a lock, at least for now.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

On Thursday, Atlanta traded center Dewayne Dedmon to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for Tony Snell and Khyri Thomas, according to <a href="https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1329518171389382662">ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski</a>.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Detroit is trading Khyri Thomas and Tony Snell to Atlanta for Dewayne Dedmon, sources tell ESPN.</p><p>— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) <a href="https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1329518171389382662?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">November 19, 2020</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>Dedmon is set to make $26 million over the next two years of his contract, which could hinder the Hawks in being able to successfully complete trades with the center’s stifling contract absorbing cap space. Atlanta remains big spenders ahead of free agency as well, which could serve well in letting go of Dedmon for more compatible pieces such as Snell and Thomas.</p><p>Dedmon, 31, finished last season averaging 5.8 points along with 5.7 rebounds last season with both the Sacramento Kings and Hawks.</p><p>They’ll instead take back Snell, who has only one year remaining on his deal. If the Hawks don’t decide to trade Snell, he can still be a decent contributor off the bench. The 3-point sniper finished last season shooting 40 percent from deep while averaging eight points a game. They’ll also obtain a young guard in Thomas, who hasn’t seen much playing time during his two seasons in the league. He could serve as a ball handler on the deep end on the bench, while the possibility of him being salary filler in another deal could also be possible.</p><p>Barring any major trades, the Hawks will enter free agency with more money to spend than most clubs in the league. In what’s been deemed a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/hawks-rumors-joe-harris-receive-significant-offer-from-atlanta-in-free-agency/">weak free agency market</a>, they’ll likely pursuit most of their targets through trades.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
