Kobe Bufkin's shocking departure from the Hawks organization was given some light by GM Onsi Saleh in a recent presser.
Kobe Bufkin was supposed to start this season as a Hawk.
Unfortunately for Bufkin, this just wasn't his timeline. As a young and developing prospect, the backcourt that was once wide open after Dejounte Murray's departure not too long ago suddenly became stuffed with veteran talent.
Hawks' GM Onsi Saleh took note of this unusual circumstance this summer and was quick to rectify the situation in a manner that benefited both parties.
