When the 2015-16 NBA Season ended for the Atlanta Hawks, they had some creative options heading into the off-season. For example, they had the ability to clear a few free agent cap holds and waive some non-guaranteed contracts to clear enough cap space to re-sign Al Horford, Kent Bazemore, and still have space left over; they could use their cap space to renegotiate and extend Jeff Teague, Kyle Korver, and/or Tiago Splitter; they could operate over the salary cap the entire off-season, utilizing trades and leveraging the relatively small cap hold of Horford ($18,000,000 compared to his maximum salary of $26,540,100).
