Exceeding expectations in the NBA has clear consequences. Evidence of this is the case of Dyson Daniels, who surprised everyone last season by becoming the Most Improved Player thanks to a splendid performance on both ends of the court. Perceived as a rising star or a luxury addition, the Australian is attracting interest from teams other than Atlanta Hawks.

It is a good time to invest in building a championship team, and the management of Atlanta Hawks has decided to spend significantly on key signings. Alexander-Walker and Porzingis have become crucial additions, but they now face serious difficulties in retaining Dyson Daniels. A pivotal piece of the team, the Australian may choose to enter unrestricted Free Agency next year, with clear possibilities of receiving a much higher salary than the Hawks can offer.

According to reports from nbaanalysis.net, the franchise and the player are currently far apart in negotiations. Dyson Daniels is demanding $30 million annually, a figure that does not align with the plans of the Atlanta Hawks, who want to assess his performance this season and playoff performance. Time may be running out as if the player chooses to become a free agent, he will have the freedom to choose his destination and find teams willing to pay him more.
