It has been an incredible offseason of moves for the Atlanta Hawks. General Manager Onsi Saleh entered his first summer as the organization's lead decision-maker with a clear goal: transform the team into championship contenders while staying true to their timeline.
They did just that, bringing in Kristaps Porzingis, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and Luke Kennard. Alexander-Walker is locked up for the long term, while Porzingis and Kennard are on one-year deals, giving Atlanta some important flexibility going forward.
If this unique combination of size, shooting, and defense does not produce the intended results on the court, the Hawks' front office can decide to move in another direction next offseason with no penalty.
