ATLANTA, GA – APRIL 26: Kyle Korver #26 of the Atlanta Hawks looks to pass against Jae Crowder #99 and Isaiah Thomas #4 of the Boston Celtics in Game Five of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals during the 2016 NBA Playoffs at Philips Arena on April 26, 2016 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Miami Heat: Jae Crowder

Available through: free agency

The Heat have a few upcoming free agents the Hawks could be interested in like Meyers Leonard, Goran Dragic, Derrick Jones Jr, and Solomon Hill. Jae Crowder might be the best fit, as the journeyman provides consistent defensive pressure and above-average shooting.

He’s not the high-usage, potential All-Defensive Team selection that he used to be, but could be perfect for a middle of the bench role in Atlanta. Teams can never have too many defensive-minded wings, and the Atlanta Hawks – who had a bottom-ten defense last season – are no different.

Milwaukee Bucks: Kyle Korver

Available through: free agency

Kyle Korver, who will turn 40 by the team next season is over, is still getting it done in the league. He’s averaged 16.7 minutes per game for the Bucks this season, the best team in the NBA.

Obviously there’s a connection between Korver and Atlanta, as the 16-year veteran spent his best seasons with the Hawks. If they can pry him away from Mike Budenholzer and the Bucks, the Hawks would value him as a locker room leader, and an above-40 percent three-point shooter.
