The Atlanta Hawks have a fascinating situation this offseason. They made the massive trade last offseason to get Dejounte Murray. Some would say they mortgaged their future with the number of draft picks they gave up to get the star guard. Unfortunately, for the Hawks and their faithful, last season did not end as they would have hoped.
The Hawks, thanks to a better performance in the play-in tournament, made it to the seventh seed, instead of the eighth seed that they attained last season. However, they still exited in the first round on a gentleman’s sweep.
