The Hawks cleaned out their lockers and met with coaches Thursday before departing for the summer after being swept from the Eastern Conference finals by the Cavaliers.
Trying to get to the next level becomes the vision of the Hawks – even after a 60-win regular season, falling one series short of the NBA Finals and accumulating individual and team accolades.
Millsap and Carroll both reiterated that they are comfortable in Atlanta and would like to stay but they have options to explore to do what is best for them and their families. The two were key cogs in the Hawks’ success.
There will be important events and decisions this summer. New ownership is weeks away from becoming finalized. The draft is June 25th and the Hawks own three selections, including the 15th overall pick thanks to the Nets. Free agency begins on July 1st and Paul Millsap and DeMarre Carroll, along with Pero Antic (restricted), John Jenkins and Elton Brand, are free to leave. Kyle Korver, Thabo Sefolosha and Shelvin Mack will be coming off season-ending surgeries. When training camp begins Sept. 29, the Hawks may look very similar or very different.
