Trade targets: All 30 teams
Atlanta Hawks
Record: 31-24
4th place in East
Status: Buyers
The Hawks have taken an all-but-inevitbale step back from last season's 60-win bonanza. With more losses (24 and counting) before the All-Star break than they had all of last season, it's becoming increasingly unlikely that the Hawks will differentiate themselves from the quagmire of playoff contenders behind Cleveland and Toronto in the East.
Now, with reports that Atlanta is willing to shake up its core, its looking like a reconfiguration of the Hawks is more likely than a deal to set them up for a big stretch run. With franchise stalwart Al Horford in the last year of his contract, the time for Atlanta to decide on its direction is now.
