The Hawks’ revamped roster may make it difficult for the team to bring back Vince Carter next season.
While it’s still possible that Carter could play an NBA-record 22nd season with the Hawks, the soon-to-be free agent likely will have options. Carter has said he wants to play one more season. He has also said he likes to give his current team the first chance at reaching a new deal. The way the 42-year old played last season, if it’s not the Hawks, Carter should have offers.
The issue for the Hawks is their roster will have 14 players (plus a two-way) under contract – after some draft-related trades are official and rookie contracts signed.
