The Atlanta Hawks are slowly reshaping their roster and their organization, with a new head coach, a new front office and a roster being molded into a younger, more dynamic collection of players. John Collins is now in Utah, while TyTy Washington and Usman Garuba are young fliers to mold into long-term rotation players.
The next major step occurred this week, with the Hawks and Dejounte Murray agreeing to a four-year, $120 million contract extension. Such an extension could be the precursor to a deal at the Trade Deadline, but it also could be the Hawks’ front office committing to the guard they want in town long-term.
