The Atlanta Hawks clearly won the 2025 offseason, juicing the team with talent while gaining overall draft capital in a miraculous series of events. The Hawks are in a unique position where this season can still be considered a win, even if the team disappoints on the court.
Everyone is talking about Atlanta's reloaded roster, and for good reason. But the best move they, or any team, made in the offseason was their draft day trade with New Orleans.
The Hawks traded the 13th pick for the 23rd pick and the more favorable of NOP and MIL's 2026 first round pick.
