0 The Atlanta Hawks have made some significant changes to their roster, waiving Patty Mills and converting Trent Forrest’s two-way contract to a standard NBA deal. Mills, a 15-year veteran who joined Atlanta in a trade with Oklahoma City last offseason, played 19 games for the Hawks this season, averaging 2.7 points and 1.1 rebounds. Despite his experience and impressive career stats, Mills played sparingly for the Hawks and was ultimately waived.
In contrast, the Hawks have decided to invest in Trent Forrest, a young guard who has shown promise in his limited playing time. Forrest, who went undrafted out of Florida State, spent last season with the Hawks on a two-way contract and has continued to impress this season, averaging 2.0 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 2.1 assists over 20 games. By converting his contract to a standard NBA deal, the Hawks are signaling their confidence in Forrest’s ability to contribute to the team’s success in the long term.
Mills, on the other hand, has an impressive resume, having played 879 games and making 107 starts over his career. He spent the majority of his career with the San Antonio Spurs, but also played for Portland and Brooklyn before joining the Hawks. Despite his vast experience, Mills struggled to find his footing with the Hawks and was unable to make a significant impact on the team.
