Kent Bazemore

One of the more unlikely buyout targets, Bazemore would see interest by numerous teams if the Hawks bought him out. The Hawks are one of the teams expected to firesale their veterans.

Bazemore is having a career year with the Hawks. It’s too bad the Hawks are one of the East’s worst teams because Bazemore has been balling this season. Averaging over 13 points per game, Bazemore has found a rhythm offensively.

With good size at 6-foot-5, Bazemore is athletic enough to get by defenders and can, at the same time, shoot over many smaller defenders. 29, Bazemore still has quite a big of guaranteed money left on his contract, one reason he may not be bought out.

Bazemore has seen terrific success as a main go-to option on Atlanta. Given his contract, it’s unlikely he’s bought out though.
