Travis Schlenk – again – doesn’t figure to be active at the start of free agency.
As he did last year, the Hawks general manager will take a wait-and-see approach now that the draft is over and the NBA free agency period opens Sunday at 6 p.m. The Hawks currently have a roster of 14 players (plus one two-way contract). There is room for just one more player (and another two-way) without a corresponding move. They also only have about $15 million of salary cap space.
Next year, why that might be a different story. With expiring contracts alone, the Hawks would have $67 million in cap space.
