Yahoo!’s Chris Haynes made some comments earlier on some potential roster shakeup for the Hawks, and some fans won’t be thrilled.

We’ve already seen Cam Reddish traded to the Knicks, and I wouldn’t be shocked if multiple moves were made before the trade deadline. Even after getting the large extension that he wanted, John Collins may not be in Atlanta for long. The Hawks are armed with three first round picks in 2022 (although heavily protected) and a ton of young assets.
Clearly, GM Travis Schlenk isn’t happy with the way the team is playing. Multiple moves that could be in play for Atlanta. The Hawks could make a deal for an All-Star like Jaylen Brown or Ben Simmons, or they could look to just reshuffle some solid pieces around Trae Young. Regardless, it’s looking less and less like the Hawks will stand pat at the trade deadline.
