When trying to identify potential deals, what are the conditions to look for?
Often, we’re looking for disappointing teams. We’re not talking about lottery-bound groups like the Houston Rockets or San Antonio Spurs – they expected to be bad.
We’re talking about teams in a win-now mode that aren’t performing as expected.
The Hawks certainly fit that description. This team is having such a down year that they just fired their head coach. If they don’t have a strong finish to this season, they could make major changes in the summer.

Does acquiring Young change their outlook?
