3. Lance Stephenson, Shooting Guard

One way for the Hawks to make improvements to their roster is by signing the players that helped defeat them in the first place. Lance Stephenson would be a major upgrade to the Hawks’ starting lineup, and would allow them to slide Kyle Korver up to the small forward position. Stephenson may not be the most-talked-about defensive player, but he would be able to match up against George and James like Deng would, and he also brings a playmaking style of basketball that Atlanta could use. His offense is improving consistently, and he would be a very nice fit in the type of offense that Atlanta runs.
