Well, the Anthony Davis dream is dead for the Atlanta Hawks. It's dead for everyone, to be fair, as Davis is potentially out for the season with ligament damage in his hand. That's a bummer for everyone involved and now it's time for the Hawks to change course — Daniel Gafford, another big man on the Mavs, could be a solid consolation prize for the Hawks.
According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the Hawks are in the mix for Gafford, but they're not alone:
"...I have heard a rival executive or two posit that the teams do have the option of pivoting to a potential Daniel Gafford swap that takes Risacher out of the haggling completely if they wish.
