NBA Rumors: 5 free agency destinations for Bismack Biyombo
4. Atlanta Hawks
The Atlanta Hawks are one of the teams in the NBA that have plenty of big decisions to make this summer. After a second-round sweep against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the playoffs, it’s clear that the Hawks might need to revamp the roster a little bit.
While they will have to figure out their point guard spot and what to do with Jeff Teague and Dennis Schroder, their big free agent this year is going to be center Al Horford. With the new max contract thanks to a rising salary cap, Horford stands to make around $146 million potentially on a five-year deal with Atlanta.
He’s also getting older and the Hawks have to determine whether or not they want to allocate all that money to Horford or let someone else snag him for that much. Should he go somewhere else on a four-year deal or the Hawks choose to pass on paying him, they will be in the market for a big man to put next to Paul Millsap, who has become a top player in the league.
With Millsap being able to spread the floor and score in a variety of ways, Bismack Biyombo would make a ton of sense for the Hawks. He can be an anchor inside, grab rebounds and block shots. He also even does the Dikembe Mutombo finger wag, who is beloved by Hawks fans.
It seems like a good match on paper.
