The Hawks continue to improve and will continue to improve providing the resign Mike Bibby. The most important move they can make this summer is to retain the 31 year old point guard. Last year he made 14million and they will have to be close to that to keep him. If someone manages to lure him away, there is no viable option on the team. They have the 19th pick in the draft. However, that won't yield them a player that is ready to step in. There are three other options:
Jason Kidd would be a one or two year stop. He would make the team better, but not enough to sacrifice the chemistry that is there with Bibby.
Andre Miller would be perhaps the best fit should Bibby leave. If Bibby goes to Philly, expect Miller to arrive in Atlanta.
The most inriuging idea is Allen Iverson. This guy might still have enough in the tank to take them another level higher. It would be fun to watch. Yet, the best bet might be to keep Bibby and find what everyone is looking for---an other inside scorer.
