The Atlanta Hawks were the subject of national ridicule after trading De'Andre Hunter for Caris LeVert, Georges Niang, two protected first round picks, and three second round picks. With his back against the wall, however, Onsi Saleh made a miraculous save.
The Hawks made a series of brilliant moves this offseason with the money freed up in the trade. Without moving Hunter, it would have been impossible to acquire Kristaps Porzingis, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Luke Kennard, and Caleb Houstan.
With these four additions, Atlanta has a serious chance to win the Eastern Conference just one year removed from a gut-wrenchingly average season.
