After moving on from Mike Scott and swapping Tiago Splitter’s contract in a deal for Ersan Ilyasova, the Atlanta Hawks have two open roster spots to play with for the remainder of the 2016-2017 season. One reported need for the organization comes in the form of a third point guard and, on Thursday afternoon, word broke that the Hawks could be interested in former All-Star point guard Deron Williams.

At the time of this report, Williams remains a member of the Dallas Mavericks but Mark Cuban’s team has little incentive to keep him on the roster moving forward.
