Atlanta Hawks
The Atlanta Hawks made waves and major improvements to their title chances when they traded a platter of assets in return for two-way All-Star Dejounte Murray.
As Murray’s offseason antics have taken attention off of the Hawks bright prospects, it’s also gone unnoticed that Atlanta needs another piece or two before they can be considered true title contenders.
Murray’s addition, Onyeka Okongwu’s emergence, and A.J. Griffin’s arrival should all make for a much stronger and deeper Hawks team. However, in comparison to last year’s iteration, they are still sorely missing someone who can reliably attack the paint and collapse the defense outside of Trae Young and Murray.
Montrezl Harrell could be the perfect offensive weapon for the Hawks to deploy off of their bench, and he’ll come at a massively discounted price.

Having a true back-to-the-basket threat and another elite finisher to run pick-and-rolls for Trae and Murray will make Atlanta one of the most devastating offensive teams in the entire league.
If the Atlanta Hawks can add Harrell with a veteran’s minimum deal, it could be considered the most underrated move of the offseason.
