Media day has passed, and the preseason is underway, leading most fans to believe the Hawks are done making roster moves. While that could be the case, an amazing opportunity just fell into their lap thanks to the Indiana Pacers.
This morning, the team announced that they had signed veteran guard Cameron Payne. To clear up space for Payne, they had to waive Delon Wright. This is a puzzling move for a team that seems like a perfect fit for Wright on paper.
His defensive intensity and intelligent shot selection will be hitting the open market, making him one of the most valuable free agent guards remaining.
