## Resource

The Atlanta Hawks are tightening their roster ahead of the season, with just 15 players allowed on opening night — meaning one more cut is coming. Buddy Hield’s guaranteed contract could be sacrificed to upgrade the small forward spot, while others like Mouhamed Gueye (injury-prone), Corey Kispert (big contract), and Ryan Nembhard (reliable but facing competition) hang in the balance. The real battle? Backup point guard duties between eighth-draft pick Kingston Flemings — a flashy playmaker — and veteran Nembhard, whose steady floor leadership could earn him the role. Preseason will decide who stays, who goes, and who steps up for the Hawks’ new era. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
