Devin Carter became trade-eligible this morning, four days after Kuminga left for nothing. The salary dump from Sacramento might be the only piece on this roster that could actually bring something back.
Every Cut Is a Sentence
The Hawks need to trim two players before training camp. The names they choose will reveal more about the post-Trae identity than any offseason press conference.
