Hawks Trade Devin Carter for Space | Atlanta Hawks News

Atlanta Hawks make their first roster move of the offseason, sending former lottery pick Devin Carter packing to clear space for the season opener. With 17 players and a mandated 15-man limit, Carter’s departure was inevitable — especially after key offseason acquisitions and a crowded guard rotation that included CJ McCollum and Kingston Flemings. The decision came down to keeping either Carter or Ryan Nembhard, who was acquired in the Lu Dort trade and turned out to be more valuable than expected: younger, cheaper, and with unique playmaking upside. Now at 16 players, Atlanta still has one roster move left — likely involving Buddy Hield, Corey Kispert, or beloved fan favorite Mo Gueye. Carter’s exit clears the way for smarter roster management as the Hawks gear up for the new campaign. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
