The Atlanta Hawks backcourt will look a bit different heading into the new season. Kevin Huerter was traded to the Sacramento Kings, Delon Wright signed with the Washington Wizards, Lou Williams is possibly headed for retirement, and Skylar Mays and Sharife Cooper are free agents.
To replace those players, the Hawks added Dejounte Murray via trade, and drafted AJ Griffin and Tyrese Martin. With the Hawks not trying to spend much on a backup guard, they signed Aaron Holiday to a one-year deal for the minimum.
Holiday played for the Wizards and Phoenix Suns last season, where he didn't see many minutes, but stepped in when Chris Paul went down with a hand injury for a few weeks late in the season.
