Hawks Eyeing Nickeil Alexander-Walker: What's the Deal?

The Hawks are in a strong position to sign Nickeil Alexander-Walker. They have a big advantage because of a trade exception from last summer's Dejounte Murray deal. This exception lets them take on Alexander-Walker's new salary without much trouble. Alexander-Walker is a great player. He is known for his strong defense and good shooting. He shot 38. 1% from three-point range last season. He would be a great fit for the Hawks, who are getting better every year. If Alexander-Walker goes to Atlanta, it could affect other teams. The Pistons might turn their attention to another free agent, Caris LeVert. LeVert had a good half-season with the Hawks after coming from Cleveland in February. The Pistons are also looking for a shooter to replace Malik Beasley, who is facing gambling allegations. The Kings are also making moves. They are working on a deal with Dennis Schröder to be their starting point guard. His new contract could be around $30 million over two years. The Kings are also looking for a backup point guard, possibly Russell Westbrook or Malcolm Brogdon. The Pistons are also interested in Duncan Robinson, who opted out of his contract with the Heat. Robinson might expect a longer deal with Miami or a sign-and-trade. This shows how free agency can cause a chain reaction, with one move affecting many teams.
