As of now, Atlanta has only $40.8 million in committed salary next season, but it remains to be seen whether the fiscally challenged ownership will do what it takes to bring back Bibby, Williams, and Pachulia, or bring in some notable free agents.
There have been rumors of Williams being dangled in a sign-and-trade for cash. Don't be surprised if talented yet unused guard Acie Law, the 11th overall pick in the 2007 draft, is moved, too.

Don't be surprised to see the Hawks dangle any number of players to other teams in much the same fashion the Denver Nuggets did with Marcus Camby last summer in an effort to help cut salary and acquire young talent and/or draft picks.
