Portland Trail Blazers' personnel scout John Gabriel, San Antonio Spurs' assistant general manager Dennis Lindsey, Washington Wizards' vice president of basketball administration Tommy Sheppard, and Boston Celtics' assistant general manager Dave Wohl make up the list of four potential candidates for the Hawks' GM role, Marc Stein from ESPN.com is reporting.

Former Sixers' GM Billy King and Chris Grant, the assistant GM in Cleveland, would only be considered if the team expands their list.

Outgoing GM Billy Knight is believed to be a candidate in New York to work alongside new Knicks' President Donnie Walsh.
