Nets Daily: From @BobbyMarks42 re: @taureanprince on @ryenarussillo podcast: “They like Taurean Prince a lot. They really do. I think he’ll fit probably at the 4 for Kenny Atkinson. He can replace DeMarre Carroll there.” Note days before deal, Nets hired Jeff Peterson, Hawks assistant GM.

Zach Lowe: If this pick falls in the protected range in 2020, Atlanta get the Nets lottery protected 1st in 2021, sources say. Same drill for 2022. After that, it converts to two second rounders.
Adrian Wojnarowski: Atlanta had been motivated to keep No. 8 and use 10 to trade back for a future asset, league sources tell ESPN. Now, Nos. 8, 10, 17, 35, 41 and 44 give the Hawks the flexibility to move up — perhaps as high as Cleveland’s pick at No. 5. Hawks GM Travis Schlenk has options.
Jeremy Woo: Minor note on BKN/ATL deal: the 2021 second-rounder going back to the Nets from the Hawks is unprotected, per source. Could end up on the more valuable end of second-round spectrum, in theory.
The Nets are sending Crabbe, the No. 17 pick in the 2019 NBA draft and a 2020 lottery protected first-round pick to the Hawks for forward Taurean Prince and a 2021 second-round pick, league sources said. The deal can’t be finalized until July 6.
Bobby Marks: The Atlanta/Brooklyn trade could be broken down into two separate transactions: 1. Taurean Prince for no. 17 2. Allen Crabbe for 2020 1st-round pick (lottery protected)
