This has been an active summer for the Atlanta Hawks.
Perhaps it has not gone as some had planned or even hoped with most of their moves aimed at clearing space – potentially for future contract extensions for current players. But it has been active nonetheless.
As has been the case for several years now, they have been mentioned in their fair share of rumors, though this offseason has seen a change in the main character.
Gone is John Collins, often floated in trade rumors over the last three seasons only to be finally dealt to the Utah Jazz this summer for a conditional second-round pick and Rudy Gay who has since been released.
