## Resource

The Atlanta Hawks are reportedly considering a two-year, $43 million deal for CJ McCollum, rather than the initial three-year, $115 million offer. This move would provide the team with salary cap flexibility and keep McCollum, a solid contributor and strong playoff performer, on the roster at a fair price. The situation is still evolving, with other teams potentially making offers, but the Hawks appear to be the best fit for McCollum.
