Fratello: Hawks breakthrough near
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
With the NBA season about to tip off, former Atlanta Hawks coach Mike Fratello, now an analyst for TNT, gives us five teams that could surprise:
1. Orlando. They’ve added depth and the younger players are a year older.
2. New Orleans. If they can stay healthy, they’ll win 10 more games than last season.
3. Atlanta. On the brink of breaking through.
4. Memphis. Right on the verge of some big things.
5. L.A. Lakers. They are going to win more than people think.
GIVE US FIVE: Which NBA squads do you see shaking up the league this season? Are the Hawks on your short list too? Sound off to compare your NBA insights with other readers’.

Your thoughts on Renteria trade
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Braves have traded veteran shortstop Edgar Renteria to the Detroit Tigers for a pair of minor-league prospects - centerfielder Gorkys Hernandez and right-handed pitcher Jair Jurrjens.
Do you think this trade was made to clear the way for Yunel Escobar to become the everyday shortstop? Do you think it was made to add depth at two vulnerable positions - center field (with the departure of Andruw Jones) and pitching (a sore spot for the team all of last season)?
Or do you think it was made to clear some money off the books in an attempt to sign a big-name free agent?
Let us know what you think.
