The Atlanta Hawks will have approximately $41 million in salary cap space this offseason.

According to a source, the Hawks are so optimistic on their core of Trae Young, Kevin Huerter and John Collins that they will pursue free agent meetings with tip tier free agents such as Kevin Durant. Travis Schlenk was still with the Warriors when they signed Durant in 2016.

For the rebuilding Hawks, getting in a room to make a pitch to top free agents will be a win.
