The Atlanta Hawks are in win-now mode given that they were only two games away from the NBA Finals last season. As such, their entire efforts are going to be focused on lifting the Larry O’Brien trophy next season.

They locked in their core long-tern over the past offseason and are ready for a tilt at the title. However, the NBA has announced that they are looking at an in-season tournament for next season with the prize money being $1.0 million per player for the winning team.
