One of the teams that have been involved in some rumors as we head toward the 2022 NBA Draft is the Atlanta Hawks. Atlanta’s front office has vowed that things will be different this year than last year when it comes to their offseason plans as they are going to set out to shake the roster up.
Last offseason, they decided to bring back everyone and it was tough to fault them. The Hawks made a surprising run to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2021 and wanted to build upon that. But, the results were not as good during the 2021-22 season, which will lead to changes.
One of the players that has been mentioned prominently in trade rumors is John Collins. The versatile big man signed a five-year, $125 million deal as a restricted free agent last year, but has seen his role offensively diminish the last few seasons.
It has been reported that the likelihood of a deal involving Collins is as high as ever right now. A trade is pretty much expected and he has been linked to a few teams, one of them being the Sacramento Kings.
