Krejci, 25, is in the midst of a career season with the Hawks, his fourth in Atlanta and fifth in the NBA.

The Czech native is shooting over 42% from three-point range in just over five attempts per game, while averaging nine points over 22 minutes in 46 games with eight starts.

Reath, 29, appeared in 32 games this season, but was ruled out for the season last week after suffering a stress fracture in his right foot.

The native of South Sudan averaged six points per game for the Blazers over three seasons, but saw his role decrease year-by-year in a crowded big man rotation.

Portland sends second-round picks in 2027 and 2030 to Atlanta to complete the trade, according to Charania.

The Hawks traded franchise cornerstone Trae Young to the Washington Wizards last month.

Krejci gives the Blazers a much-needed boost in shooting. The team entered Sunday last in the league in three-point percentage, shooting less than 34% per game.

The guard is under contract through next season, where he is set to make $2.6 million, with a $3 million club option for the 2027-28 season.

The NBA trade deadline for the 2025-26 season is Thursday, Feb. 5.

Portland (23-26) host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday, looking to snap a four-game losing streak. The stretch matches the worst for the team this season, when they lost four straight in November.

The Blazers currently sit ninth in the Western Conference standing, and are squarely in the mix for a spot in the NBA Play-In Tournament.
