Didn't want to post this on the Hawk Board to interrupt our well deserved celebrations.
But I just don't see why all the pundits are talking about the 16 free agents and looming cap problems for the Hawks.
I think there's lots of room to be made cap wise with a bright 2-3 year window:
Players who I think will be gone as cap casualties (and other reasons):
