The Atlanta Hawks were last summer part of the trade that took Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder acquired guard Dennis Schröder from the Hawks and forward Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot from the Philadelphia 76ers in return for Carmelo Anthony and a protected 2022 first-round pick. In retrospect, the Frenchman would have been a better fit for the Hawks, than the high-flying Thunder.

Luwawu-Cabarrot averaged over 15 minutes per-game in Philadelphia last season, and before the trade, he was starting to develop into a reliable rotation player.

Despite this, the Thunder have not included the 23-year-old in their selection so far this season, and the forward has played less than 10 minutes in the Thunders last eleven matches.

Sam Presti and the Thunder will look to move the small forward before the trade deadline, and Luwawu-Cabarrot could be a useful addition to the Hawks bench.
