The Atlanta Hawks are heading into the shortened 2011-2012 NBA season as one of the many basketball teams unwilling to use the amnesty clause despite being so close to the cap. The fans at Philips Arena are going to be wondering just what kind of future the team has with a very thin roster. Jeff Teague and Joe Johnson will be starting the season in the backcourt. Zaza Pachulia is at center and Al Horford and Josh Smith are the forwards.

About The Atlanta Hawks
Marvin Williams is the sixth man and the most likely to be cut by the amnesty clause. He will not be cut though, as the clause does not save the Hawks from paying the contracts, simply from counting it against the cap. Atlanta is going to resign to cheap options, Magnum Rolle and Pape Sy, to begin filling out the front court bench. Add the second round pick Keith Benson as the number two center and this is the state of the bench. The Hawks will be searching for a backup shooting guard (most likely Damien Wilkins) and another point to the mix.
Rumor has it the Atlanta Hawks will also be going after Jared Collins to add some size to the bench. The one rumor that has been confirmed is Hinrich’s injury. Kirk Hinrich is going to be gone for at least the first month.
This season the Atlanta Hawks will give this group one more try. If they are not able to advance beyond the first round expect someone more expensive than Williams to get the ax. Coach Larry Drew may not have the depth off the bench, but he has a very talented starting rotation to make quite a run in the Southeast Division. He has to get this team on the same page to overtake the Miami Heat and the Orlando Magic.
Luckily, the Magic are a mess. However, the Heat have three superstars who have a season to learn to play together. Losing Hinrich for the at least the first month is not going to help the Hawks case. Atlanta needs Teague to overachieve for a little bit longer to survive the first leg of the season.

The new season is speculated by many to prove to be a hard one to crack for the Hawks, although they are the team right behind the big three, it will still have to do much rebuilding and some new faces might just help the team along. At least they don’t have to worry about Hawks tickets sales the fans are in place now the team needs to step up and learn from there past. Many great players have shown them the way they just need to follow good leadership. In the end the only thing the team has to do is play their best and the Hawks ticket holders will make sure that they have all the backing they need.
