It is no secret that the Atlanta Hawks wanted to go in a different direction at point guard and so they did exactly that. After trading away Dennis Schroder to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday, Atlanta fans have a little better idea of the direction the franchise is now headed towards.
Schroder had been at the starting helm for the Hawks over the last two seasons after the team traded away his predecessor Jeff Teague to Indiana for the draft pick that would eventually become Taurean Prince. Schroder was a solid point guard offensively for the Hawks ever since he was drafted by the tean in 2013 as well as being one of the few remaining pieces from the Atlanta team that won sixty games just four years ago.
