This was my first season covering the NBA, and I’ve quickly learned that there truly isn’t much of an offseason.



I remember talking to my editor, Daniel Shirley, on the phone after the season ended and expressing concern about not having anything to write about during the summer. It turns out there was no reason to be concerned.



I’ll be in Las Vegas for eight days for Summer League beginning Tuesday. I’ll be out there a few days before the Hawks’ first game on July 6 because the team will have a couple of practices before it begins playing.



And free agency begins Sunday. The Hawks won’t be very active out of the gates. We could have a decision on Dewayne Dedmon’s status shortly after free agency opens, but other than that, it might take a few days or weeks before the Hawks make roster decisions.



That said, most of the questions we received revolved around free agency and the fallout from the draft.
