The Atlanta Hawks currently sit at 5-17, which is the worst record in the Eastern Conference technically, though the Cavs have played two fewer games than the Hawks and currently have a 4-16 record.
Both teams are in full-on rebuilding mode, and the Cavs already made a deal this season to ensure the team loses as many games as possible, dealing former Atlanta Hawks legend Kyle Korver to the Utah Jazz for Alec Burks and two second-round picks.
That is exactly the kind of deal that the Hawks should be making right now, sending away useful veteran players like fan favorite Kent Bazemore (here are some options for such a deal) and rangy big man Dewayne Dedmon for future assets or young players with a depressed value league-wide.
