Atlanta Hawks take large strides toward young core
Just how young will the 2017-18 Hawks be? It is no secret that the 2017 summer has been one of major roster transition for the Atlanta Hawks.

What’s left for Atlanta remains up for debate, as the Hawks are largely void of high-end talent but the roster does boast considerable depth and a...

While Paul Millsap and Tim Hardaway Jr. landed elsewhere, both Ersan Ilyasova and Mike Muscala were retained and the Hawks clearly made Muscala a top priority in early July.
