## Resource

The Atlanta Hawks face a roster crunch with just 16 players, forcing tough decisions on guys like Buddy Hield and Mouhamed Gueye. While Hield’s minutes are low, his $9.66M contract could be a hidden gem — a trade asset that helps the Hawks match salaries for a future star. Gueye’s smaller deal offers little leverage. The Hawks aren’t rushing Hield out the door; his contract might be key to building around Jalen Johnson down the road.
