The Atlanta Hawks have a had a busy few days. On Wednesday they acquired Ersan Ilyasova from the Philadelphia 76ers for Tiago Splitter, a second-round pick, and a second-round pick swap.
Thursday afternoon they traded Mike Scott to the Phoenix Suns for cash considerations. The move meant that they would have two open roster spots moving forward. The prevailing thought was that the Hawks would pursue another point guard.
Buyout candidates like Deron Williams and Tyreke Evans were suggested by fans and bloggers alike.
