In a down market for players, options remain for Atlanta

With the Jeremy Lin trade completed on Friday, the Atlanta Hawks have used the majority of their 2018 cap space. There will be plenty of speculation and rumors about another potential deal, perhaps including incumbent starter Dennis Schröder, but for now, the Hawks are left with between $7.7 million and $10.4 million in cap space and no open roster spots, though Jaylen Morris and Antonius Cleveland can be waived to create a regular-season slot.

It’s unlikely that Atlanta will use the majority of this space, as they’ll want to hold back a few million to facilitate a trade later in the season to pick up some additional future draft assets.
