Brad Rowland: Jock Landale shared that he “trimmed up” this summer after he was fully healed from the ankle injury that ended last season.
Jock Landale: I think parenthood has taught me to appreciate the small moments a lot more. A year ago I was contemplating giving up on the NBA and heading back overseas to leagues I truly respect and enjoy. I didn’t feel like being a rotation player all year round in the NBA was something I was going to be able to achieve. I was tired of not being able to compete and do what I love to do on the main stage. I’m extremely grateful to all those who convinced me otherwise and helped me stick out this dream. You know who you are. Excited for what’s to come with the @atlhawks . LFG.

Sources say that Golden State is among the teams expected to pursue veteran big man Jock Landale in addition to scoring guards such as Anfernee Simons and Collin Sexton.
Landale, 30, is expected to have a strong market, including interest from the Hawks, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers, and Cleveland Cavaliers, league sources told HoopsHype. Expect the Australian center to command offers north of the bi-annual exception in free agency.
