What could rookie extensions for Onyeka Okongwu and Saddiq Bey look like?

With most of the dust from the offseason settled — and the Hawks roster just about looking locked in for 2023-24 — the next items of business for the Hawks will be addressing the status of the extension eligible players. Dejounte Murray already finalized a four-year extension worth up to $120.5 million that will keep him in Atlanta until possibly 2028 around a month ago — assuming the final year player option is picked up.

Most uncertainty now surrounds the status of the two players approaching the end of their rookie contracts.

After being drafted in the lottery of the 2020 NBA Draft, both Onyeka Okongwu and Saddiq Bey are eligible to pen an extension with the Atlanta Hawks between now and the beginning of the 2023-24 regular season.
