After the surprising Taurean Prince/Allen Crabbe trade last week, the Atlanta Hawks cut into their salary cap space by bringing on the final year of Crabbe’s mammoth contract signed in the fateful summer of 2016 (4 years/$75 million).
As such, the Hawks are likely not in the running for a big-name free agent anymore (specifically Klay Thompson), though you never know what will happen.
However, according to a story by Dan Favale of Bleacher Report, there is one unorthodox choice in free agency that would be a huge boon for the Atlanta Hawks: Maxi Kleber of the Mavericks.
