Atlanta Hawks: Rethinking the Omari Spellman/Damian Jones Trade

When the Atlanta Hawks traded away Omari Spellman to the Golden State Warriors after only on season and a piddling two Summer League games, it became clear that the 21-year-old sophomore did not put in the expected effort to keep his weight in check and meld well with his new teammates.
