Free agent options continue to shrink, as teams sign players at a record pace. A better option for the Atlanta Hawks, is to pick up the phone, call the Orlando Magic and inquire about big man Mo Bamba.
Now that centerDewayne Dedmonhas relocated to Sacramento, theAtlanta Hawkshave a need for depth at the center position. Outside ofAlex Lenwho started 31 games for the Hawks, there is very little experienced center depth on the roster.
Omari Spellmanis capable of playing center, yet he is still unproven, having played in just 46 games and starting 11.Miles Plumleeis in a suit more often than on the court, playing just 18 games last season. He certainly can’t be depended on.
Most importantly the Hawks have a long-term prospect at every position, besides center. Free agents are getting thin, with only three of thefive big men the Atlanta Hawks should out pursueremaining. Searching the trade market, may be the best place for Atlanta to land a good long-term prospect in the pivot.

Mohamed Bamba Center
The Orlando Magic have resigned their all-star centerNikola Vucevic, to a four-year deal for 100 million dollars. That signing means that the 2018 number six pickMo Bamba, who is also a true center, has his path to a starting spot blocked for the foreseeable future.
The Atlanta Hawks would be wise to see what it would take, to pry the center prospect away from Orlando. By the time Vucevic can opt out of his contract, Mo Bamba will be up for a new contact. Bamba can’t maximize his opportunities without a chance to start.
