Who’s Next for Atlanta? 4 Sneaky Good Free Agent Targets
Let’s keep it real — the rest of the league better start sweating, because the Atlanta Hawks are done playing nice.
They’re not rebuilding… they’re RELOADING.
Forget the casual talk — this front office is moving like stealth assassins. They've already landed Kristaps Porzingis, pulled off a value-signing trade for Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and assembled arguably the best undrafted rookie class in the entire NBA.
And guess what?
They’re still not done.
Atlanta has two veteran minimum spots left to fill and a braintrust that’s operating like it’s playing 4D chess while the rest of the league fumbles with Uno cards. 😏
Now let’s talk about four key targets the Hawks could bring in to finish this offseason with a bang.
1. Kevin Love – The OG Stretch Five
Yeah, Kevin Love is on the Utah Jazz roster right now, but word on the street is he could be bought out soon — especially with Utah doing their best garage sale impression and clearing out vets like John Collins.
If that happens? SIGN HIM.
35% from three last season
Elite rebounding
Playoff & championship experience
He’d be a perfect veteran big off the bench — one who could stretch the floor next to Okongwu or Porzingis, and bring basketball IQ to a young, athletic roster. And if he’s willing to take the vet minimum to chase one more ring?
Chef’s kiss. 🍽️
2. Cameron Payne – The Human Spark Plug
Why is no one signing Cam Payne? I don’t know, but if the Hawks are smart (spoiler: they are), they’ll swoop in.
38% from deep last season
Instant offense
High-energy locker room guy (also, elite bench dancing 🔥)
He’s the perfect third guard behind Trae Young and Kobe Bufkin. A guy who can run the offense, score in bunches, and hype the squad like a Red Bull with a jump shot.
3. Bol Bol – The Wild Card Unicorn
Look, if we’re talking about upside swings and versatility, Bol Bol should be on the board.
7’2” with guard-like skills
Still only 24 years old
Insane length + offensive creativity
He’s the ultimate low-risk, high-reward move. Give him minutes in a Quin Snyder system with space and structure? Could be dangerous. Bol Bol can give you bench scoring, size, and mismatches galore — and for a vet min? It's a worthy gamble.
4. Chris Boucher – The Floor-Stretching Shot-Blocker
Chris Boucher is the type of guy who doesn’t get enough love — but absolutely should.
36.3% from three last season
Elite hustle + offensive rebounding
Rim protector off the bench
He gives you a modern stretch big who can play with or behind Porzingis and Okongwu. And with Quinn Snyder loving 5-out spacing, this is the kind of guy who makes your offense hum and your bench dangerous.
Oh — and imagine the Zaccharie Risacher pick-and-pop action with Boucher spacing the floor? Whew.
So What’s Next?
Let’s do a quick recap:
Two veteran minimum roster spots
A front office that’s moving in silence like lasagna
And your options?
🧠 Kevin Love – Veteran IQ + floor spacing
⚡ Cam Payne – Energy guard with playoff juice
🦄 Bol Bol – Length, upside, and versatility
🧱 Chris Boucher – Stretch big + elite hustle
Final Word:
The NBA isn’t just watching the Hawks anymore…
They’re worried.
This team has depth, flexibility, and firepower — and they haven’t even fired their last shot yet.
