Bobby Marks

There are no clear connections between the Atlanta Hawks and Bobby Marks, a former assistant general manager for the Nets with 20 years of front office experience, but the timing could be perfect.

Marks has since been hired as an insider for The Vertical part of Yahoo! sports, but the entire site is also being restructured. Lead editor Adrian Wojnarowski is slated to join ESPN, with some of his staff joining the network.

Since being cut by Brooklyn two years ago, Marks has garnered much attention for his ability to break down complex intricacies of the NBA salary cap to the general public.

The Hawks already have $83.8 million committed for the 2017-18 season, including the $21.4 million deal All-Star forward Paul Millsap has yet to opt out of, and could use his help shaping their roster in the future.

Atlanta has less than 50 days remaining if it hopes to fill its self imposed deadline of June 22 to fill its general manager vacancy, but plenty of intriguing options are available.
