Trade Deadline 2024 has come and gone, and the Hawks roster hasn’t changed one iota.
It’s an annual tradition at this point to enter February with major questions about whether one or more starters will be moved elsewhere. And for the umpteenth time in a row, nothing came to fruition.
Even last time around, the Hawks picked up the serviceable but unspectacular Saddiq Bey for a boatload of second-round picks.
But this season, caught between buying and selling, Atlanta did neither — signaling their attempt to improve from within and push for the playoffs.
John Collins previously occupied a perch on the trade block after two contentious extension/contract negotiations before and after playoff success.
