Sacramento Kings: Harry Giles

Available through: free agency

Once a top recruit out of high school, Harry Giles has suffered through not one, but two ACL injuries. When he has been able to hit the court in Sacramento, he’s been a solid do-it-all big man. He has an old-school midrange game to compliment his interior game and is far from a negative defensively.

Giles is still just 22 and his youth and potential alone will net him a large deal. His injury history is concerning, and can’t be relied on for major minutes. Luckily, the Hawks need a backup four, and Giles could be a real steal.

San Antonio Spurs: Rudy Gay

Available Through: trade

Just like Oubre, there haven’t been rumors surrounding the Spurs trading Rudy Gay. If the Spurs decide to blow it up and go full rebuild, they could be looking to make the most of Gay’s expiring contract.

The Hawks could use his veteran play, although that play has fallen off a bit in recent seasons. He still deserves a role in the league, and the Hawks could use him as a fourth wing to give the locker room a leader and proven depth.
