Atlanta Hawks reportedly express interest in Derrick Favors

Dewayne Dedmon is headed to Sacramento and, with that as the backdrop, the Atlanta Hawks could be in the market for a starting-caliber big man. Though a scenario certainly exists in which the Hawks choose to roll with John Collins, Alex Len, Omari Spellman, Bruno Fernando and Miles Plumlee in the frontcourt, a report emerged on Sunday evening tying the franchise to the potential pursuit of Utah Jazz veteran Derrick Favors.

At this stage, Favors remains under contract with the Jazz, which would explain (at least in part) why he has not been heavily discussed as a potential target to this point.
