NBA: 2022 New Year’s resolution for every Eastern Conference team

Atlanta Hawks – Consolidate the roster

The Atlanta Hawks have been one of the biggest underachievers this year. Many of their key players have regressed from last season. With rumors, they are looking to trade Cam Reddish to reset their cap situation.

The Hawks should maybe overpay and do a two or three for one trade to give Trae Young another All-Star running mate.

Toronto Raptors – Figure out if you want to ditch Siakam

The Toronto Raptors are almost .500 but also out of the playoff picture currently. They seem like a team that should rebuild but is too proud to throw in the towel. One key issue for The Raptors has been Pascal Siakam. He has been a disappointment in terms of development, showing no signs of improvement in any part of his game and seeing slight decreases in scoring and passing numbers.

The Raptors should see what a Siakam deal can net because he will not help this team make the playoffs unless he goes Super Saiyan and scores like Kevin Durant. At over $30-plus million a season Siakam is overpaid and underperforming.
