The Atlanta Hawks‘ early 2023 NBA Playoffs exit at the hands of the Boston Celtics opened the door for some interesting offseason discourse regarding the future of the franchise.
While trade talks surrounding point guard Trae Young have quieted down considerably following the two-time all star’s mostly stellar performance against Boston, there are still some clear foundational holes in this Atlanta roster that fans are eager to see addressed in the offseason.
While several big names, including most notably Boston’s Jaylen Brown, have been floated around as potential Hawks’ trade targets, one player who hasn’t been mentioned as much but undoubtedly makes sense is Washington Wizards’ small forward Kristaps Porzingis.
