An unexpected Eastern Conference team has emerged as a potential landing spot for Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant this offseason.

The Hawks still don’t have a President of Basketball Operations, and it appears they might not hire one at all, allowing new general manager Onsi Saleh to run the show, who replaced Landry Fields when he was relieved of his duties.

But New Orleans' ongoing injury issues played out like the league's saddest broken record, the loss column swelled to 61 (second-highest in franchise history), Brandon Ingram was sent packing at the deadline and former front-office architect David Griffin was shown the exit at season's end.
