So, the Atlanta Hawks decided to move on from Tyrese Martin, signing the veteran Wesley Matthews to a one-year deal. This says that the Hawks are looking to contend by having every piece on their 15-man roster able to contribute.
Martin showed us glimpses of his talent in the 2022 Summer League and then in the G League last season. He showed us some of his potential again in the 2023 Summer League. However, it is so unlikely that he would crack the rotation this season that the Hawks made the right short-term move to sign Matthews.
