The Atlanta Hawks currently sit on top of the Southeast division. But it is painfully clear to Hawks fans that this is not the same Atlanta team that surprisingly dominated the Eastern Conference last season. This team has some flaws that need to be corrected, and here are five things you should expect from the Hawks in the second half of the season.

The Hawks' front office has made it clear that they just don’t see Jeff Teague taking the next step. And with an out-of-this-world 2016 free agent class coming up, Atlanta is looking to clear cap room, which means Teague is going bye-bye.
4. Al Horford Getting Shipped Out Also

Teague is not the only Hawk who will be shipped out of town on Thursday. Al Horford will become an unrestricted free agent after this season, and instead of courting him to stay, the Hawks have bigger plans in mind.
3. Dennis Schroder Stepping Up To Lead The Team

Dennis Schroder is shrouded in trade rumors right now. But don’t worry Hawks fans, he isn’t going anywhere. In fact, he will be the guy to take over control of the Hawks' attack when Teague is shipped out of town.
2. Paul Millsap Taking On Bigger Role

Paul Millsap was always “the point man” in the Hawks' attack, but with Teague and Horford appearing to be out the door, Millsap is going to have to take on a bigger piece of the offense to keep the Hawks in contention.

This was an up-and-down Hawks team from the start, as they struggled to adjust to the role of being “the hunted.” Now, with their roster in turmoil, look for the Hawks to have a challenging second half.
