Travis Schlenk hasn’t changed his philosophy.
The Hawks general manager will stick to his rebuild mantra as he approaches his second NBA trade deadline after joining the franchise in May 2017.
“It’s the same goal I’ve had since day one,” Schlenk told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “Accumulate salary cap space. Use that space to accumulate assets.”
The NBA trade deadline is Thursday at 3 p.m. The Hawks could be players – buyers or sellers – but don’t expect a blockbuster move.
As the Hawks are in mid-rebuild, their young players are showing promise and getting valuable experience.
