Eric Bledsoe and Atlanta Hawks Could Be A Match Made in Heaven (slideshow)

Where do the Atlanta Hawks figure into this?
The Atlanta Hawks have cap room and assets. They also have been searching to make a splash with a big time free agent over the past couple of seasons.
Things are very iffy between Eric Bledsoe and the Phoenix Suns, and, as earlier stated, Bledsoe will most likely be gone the following season considering how things have gone between both parties.
Upside Motor’s Sam Veccine wrote about this complex situation between the Suns and Bledsoe and had this to offer on the potential fit for the Atlanta Hawks and Eric Bledsoe:
"A crunch-time lineup of Jeff Teague, Bledsoe, Korver, Millsap, and Horford may not sound entirely sexy, but that’s probably the third-best possible lineup in the Eastern Conference. Plus, trading those young players wouldn’t totally diminish their depth, as Mack, newly-signed Thabo Sefolosha, DeMarre Carroll, Scott, and Pero Antic make up an excellent next five. With a good amount of luck, reasonable development progression, and a lack of injuries, that’s a team that can get to the NBA Finals. And in reality, that’s all Danny Ferry can do right now as a general manager."
