The Atlanta Hawks could use Derrick Rose’s mid-range game
One such potential addition that should be on general manager Travis Schlenk’s list is Derrick Rose, who spent the 2020-21 season with the New York Knicks but is a free agent.
The Atlanta Hawks could use Derrick Rose as a change of pace or complement to their usual offense
That style of play, which has a heavier focus on the mid-range, is exactly what Atlanta needs coming off the bench to spell Trae Young.
Rose’s game is also different enough that the pair could share the floor despite him not being a great three-point shooter and neither he nor Young being great defenders.

If no major moves will be done by the Hawks, then resigning Collins and signing Derrick Rose should be on the top of the list for the Hawks who are in a 'win now' mode.
Hawks don't have to worry about building for the future anymore, Hawks can now start building a roster mainly focused on the playoffs and Finals. Rose, the 33yr old vet, is exactly that player the Hawks can use to fill those needs.
