Summary
CJ McCollum is staying with the Atlanta Hawks on a one-year, $21 million deal, delivering a scoring spark and playoff grit that’s exactly what the team needed. At 35, he’s not part of the long-term rebuild but offers vital veteran leadership and reliable production — a move that fits his pattern and benefits the Hawks as they eye a future point guard with the 8th pick. The signing pushes Atlanta over the cap, forcing a tough decision on whether to pick up Jonathan Kuminga’s $24.3M option — a pivotal move as they shape their roster for the next chapter.
