While the Atlanta Hawks may be in the midst of contract discussions with Trae Young and Dyson Daniels, newly acquired center, Kristaps Porzingis, who Atlanta received from the Boston Celtics in a three team trade, which also included the Brooklyn Nets, has officially been introdued as the newest member of the team and on Wednesday, 92-9 The Game's Carl Dukes and Abe Gordon, discussed why the All-Star center is filling a void the Hawks needed filled for some time.
"Abe, you said it, this guy if healthy, can be a complete difference maker for this Hawks basketball team," Dukes said as he shared his thoughts on why Porzingis may be able to provide the Hawks a much needed level of production outside of Trea Young if he is able to remain healthy throughout the entire season.
"It sounded to me like he's invested into this season two things. I think he wants to end that talking point of can you stay healthy and I think that's important to him and because of that he also mentioned he's looking forward to having the best season of his career," Gordon added as he noted he believes Porzingis is out to prove he is still one of the NBA's top talents.
