After a series of conflicting reports regarding Zaccharie Risacher’s trade availability, sources close to the Atlanta Hawks clarified the situation: Risacher is potentially available, but not for Anthony Davis, per Marc Stein.
This is the most logical stance the Hawks can take. Risacher has had an underwhelming season, but he has incredibly high potential as a do-it-all low-usage forward. While his lack of star upside prevents him from being a truly “untouchable” asset, he is the prototypical forward partner for Jalen Johnson.
The Hawks have a massive hole at the center position, and Davis is the best option to fill this void.
