Sports Illustrated: Hawks Offseason Grade

I've done this the past couple of summers, figured I'd give post this year's as well. Here
Thoughts?
Atlanta Hawks
Best move: Nabbing Tiago Splitter for an irrelevant, top-55 protected draft pick.
Worst move: Bidding high to acquire Tim Hardaway Jr., a player with no discernible record of passing or defending at an NBA level.
Analysis: Carroll won’t be easily replaced. Whether Hardaway, Kent Bazemore, recent addition Justin Holiday, or a recovered Thabo Sefolosha ultimately winds up filling Caroll’s spot in the starting lineup, the Hawks know they’ll need to compensate for the difference elsewhere. Millsap, Al Horford, Kyle Korver, and Jeff Teague will all be integral in that effort.
Grade: B
