The Atlanta Hawks sit right on the edge of something special. They have the pieces to win now, but they are missing one specific type of player to get over the hump. According to Soaring Down South, the team is still just one big swing trade away from becoming a legitimate contender in the East.
That missing piece is a star who can create offense on the outside. The current roster has talent, but it lacks a true lead creator who can take over a game when the defense tightens up.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have developed their team over the decades via the usual ways most teams in the NBA have, finding special success through the NBA draft since their founding as the Seattle SuperSonics. Many of the franchise’s top players have joined the team either through direct selections in the annual draft or via trades executed on that day.
On top of this, the Thunder have selected not only several star players through the draft but also a number of notable alumni each offseason.

The Golden State Warriors have put together their teams through a variety of ways over the years, yet few approaches have proven as successful as the NBA draft. More than anything else, the most talented players to represent the Warriors have arrived in Golden State either by being selected directly in the annual draft or through trades executed on that same night.
The Golden State Warriors have taken many of their top stars through the draft, but have also landed a number of notable players over the years as well.
