In ESPN's latest NBA power rankings, the Atlanta Hawks landed in the last spot at No. 30.
ESPN NBA reporter Ian Begley believes the Hawks are on track to rebuild in 2018.
“By trading Dennis Schroder to the Thunder, the Hawks freed more minutes for Trae Young and nearly $50 million in 2019 cap space next summer,” Begley wrote. “The club also might have three first-round picks in the 2019 draft -- their own, Cleveland's (top-10-protected) and Dallas's (top-five-protected).”
