Atlanta Hawks face a roster crunch with 17 players on the books, forcing tough decisions before the season starts — and setting the stage for potential trades, especially involving high-salary or expiring contracts. Last February’s blockbuster moves turned their season around, and while this year’s deadline may be quieter, a star could still shake things up. Corey Kispert and Buddy Hield are prime trade candidates, while Devin Carter’s team option adds flexibility. CJ McCollum, Luguentz Dort, and Jock Landale — all on expiring deals — could become key salary-matching pieces in a big deal. With multiple expiring contracts, Atlanta has the leverage to make a splash if the right player becomes available — even if it means saying goodbye to key contributors.
