The Atlanta Hawks have been looking for ways to shed some salary this NBA offseason. Things are going to get expensive soon for the organization and they will have some difficult decisions to make when it comes to their roster.
While they would like to do it, they know that they cannot keep everyone. Some players will test the open market and end up leaving the organization. It is the business of the NBA. Figuring out which players should be part of the core going forward is never easy.
Atlanta signed Trae Young and Clint Capela to extensions, agreeing to a five-year deal with John Collins in restricted free agency. They are undoubtedly part of the core, but who will be next to land an extension?
