The Atlanta Hawks began their 2017-18 campaign Tuesday when they opened training camp at the University of Georgia. In advance of his first full season as General Manager, Travis Schlenk met with the media Friday to share his vision of the team.
In his opening statement, Schlenk made his two offseason roster objectives undeniably clear: youth and roster flexibility.
"Last season we were the fifth-oldest team in the league, and we wanted to get younger, and obviously we feel like we accomplished that," Schlenk said. "The second thing we wanted to accomplish was financial flexibility moving forward as it relates to the cap, and we feel like we were able to do that as well.
