Just saw this on stream, good pay day for Kennard. I am sure he just took the most money available to him.

One of the most underrated players in the league. That’s a steal. He can do what Trae does

Not sure how he earned that contract after the year he just had. He turns down more open 3's than any "shooter" I have ever seen, which ultimately hurts the team.

Luka Nard getting a bit of an overpay but it is a great move for the Hawks. They need floor spacers.

If everyone is healthy, I'd say so.

Reminds me a little bit of the Hawks 2020 free agency, after the bubble concluded for everyone.

Hawks have made several solid additions. They may make a competitive run sooner rather than later.

Imagine if the Hawks get the #1 overall pick in the 2026 draft...?

Yeah, it is a great deal. Didn't mean to knock it. Hawks have had a hell of an offseason.

Even if he doesn't pan out they could always use him as an 11mil expiring at the deadline.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I feel like Garrison Matthews is a better player when given the chance.

Always liked this guy but he always seems to have something missing. I can't identify what exactly.
