The NBA offseason has winded down as we head towards training camp for the 2021-22 season. With that being said, national outlets are handing down offseason grades. Kevin Pelton of ESPN gave the Atlanta Hawks an “A” grade for their moves this offseason, highlighting the retaining of John Collins and Nate McMillan, among other moves:
Although it was a relatively quiet offseason for the Hawks, I liked the way they tweaked their bench after last season’s unexpected run to the Eastern Conference finals. Atlanta swapped little-used Kris Dunn and Bruno Fernando for top-tier backup point guard Delon Wright and added Gorgui Dieng on a one-year, $4 million deal to fill in at backup center while Onyeka Okongwu recovers from shoulder surgery.
