Impact The 27-year-old will begin a new chapter in 2026-27 after being traded from Oklahoma City to Atlanta during the offseason. Dort averaged just 8.3 points per game last season, and he'll join a deep Hawks perimeter rotation that also features Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dyson Daniels, CJ McCollum and Buddy Hield. His defense should earn him consistent playing time, but the competition for shots figures to limit his fantasy ceiling.

Traded to Atlanta The Thunder traded Dort to the Hawks on Sunday in exchange for three second-round picks as part of a three-team deal with the Mavericks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact The Thunder picked up the defensive-minded swingman's $17.7 million team option in June but are now flipping him for draft capital. The Hawks will receive Dort and Ryan Nembhard, while the Mavericks acquire 2024 No. 1 overall pick Zaccharie Risacher. Dort's production took a fairly significant hit in 2025-26, during which he averaged 8.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.9 steals while shooting just 38.5 percent from the field in 26.8 minutes per game across 69 regular-season appearances. He figures to play significant minutes thanks to his defensive prowess, though he could come off the bench behind Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Dyson Daniels.
