NBA.com is handing out grades for how NBA teams handled the offseason. Area will the Atlanta Hawks rank?
The Atlanta Hawks bootless to accomplish a huge burst in chargeless bureau this offseason and that is reflected in the offseason brand delivered to them by NBA.com. The Hawks becoming a "C" afterwards mostly accomplished affability their absolute agenda over the summer.
Here is what NBA.com's Lang Whitaker had to say about the team:
Perhaps the best agitative move the Hawks accept fabricated back aftermost season's barter borderline was the reintroduction of their archetypal "Pac-Man" logo. While they were briefly affiliated to some "bigger" names in the summer's chargeless agency, for a additional summer in a row the Hawks concluded up not aqueous out banknote for an All-Star akin piece. It seems bright that the Hawks plan to booty their time architecture a agenda that can comedy the versatile, uptempo appearance that Budenholzer prefers. The Hawks don't appetite to absorb for the account of spending, which is a financially applicable way to assemble your team, as continued as buying and admirers accept the backbone all-important to watch article abound organically.
Baby accomplish are fine, but can the Hawks anytime be annihilation added than a mid-level Eastern Conference playoff aggregation afterwards abacus a superstar? Their greatest backbone aftermost division was their adeptness to comedy as a aggregation and mix and bout genitalia as bare due to injuries or match-ups. Architecture about players like Horford, Millsap, Teague and Korver are accomplished options, but that amount abandoned apparently isn't activity to get you a title.
Atlanta becoming a B- for their frontcourt and backcourt and C's for their bank and defense. There accomplished brand came in the apprenticeship administration area Mike Budenholzer and his agents becoming a B+.
The Hawks were a poor arresting aggregation in 2014 abnormally afterwards Horford was absent to injury. Even with Horford, they faced challenges on the ambit area DeMarre Carroll was absolutely the alone able option. One affair to watch this division is if the attendance of Thabo Sefolosha and Kent Bazemore can advance that situation. Atlanta still isn't activity to be one of the top arresting teams but abundant advance is accessible if the agenda can for the best allotment abide healthy.
Exit Question: What affectionate of brand would you accept accustomed the Hawks for their offseason?
