If this team can show progress and perhaps even sneak into the playoffs... they'll be primed to have a meeting with any top-tier FA, with 2 max slots available to them.

You would think Atlanta would be a good landing spot with our young core that they could attract at least one max guy but right now I just want to see how the young core competes. Defensively this team is probably going to be hard to watch at times because of the guards but adding size guys like Reddish and Hunter should improve that and you can funnel guys into those huge guys but this team should be super competitive next year. That said, this isn't a winning playoff team currently constructed. I feel like something is missing to take them over the top. That said, if they add the right pieces this might be the best young team in the league.

They need seasoning and depth, but if the roaster works out this is definitely a playoff team.

Ferry signed free agents he couldn't keep and the ceiling wasn't near a championship squad. They were well coached, but that wasn't expertly maneuvering free agency, the salary cap, and the draft the way the team is doing it now.

You would think, but I've heard from more than one person in the know that NBA stars don't consider Atlanta because, and I kid you not, this is where all their side chicks are and they don't want to play that close to the drama.
