It's no secret the Atlanta Hawks had one of the best offseasons this year, and ESPN' and CBS's offseason grades are the latest proof. Of the 30 NBA teams, Atlanta and Houston took home the highest grades in the ESPN rankings, both earning an "A" grade for their team-building efforts. CBS was even more bullish on the Hawks, receiving an A+ from Sam Quinn.
The Hawks undeniably made a series of great moves, turning a 1st round pick, Terance Mann, Georges Niang, and the 13th pick (Derik Queen) into Kristaps Porzingis, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Luke Kennard, the 22nd pick (Asa Newell), and the 2026 New Orleans 1st rounder.
