Olivier Hanlan: Rights traded to Spurs

Hanlan had his rights traded from the Jazz to the Spurs on Tuesday, in exchange for Boris Diaw, Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Hanlan was drafted 42nd overall by the Jazz in the 2015 NBA Draft and has most recently spent time with Lithuania's Zalgiris basketball team. With the Spurs needing to shed Boris Diaw in order to lock up free agent Pau Gasol, Hanlan provided the Spurs an opportunity to grab a player that they wouldn't need to add to their roster right away. Hanlan is expected to remain overseas for the 2016-17 season, but could provide guard depth down the road for the Spurs if there's a need in the future.
