The 2024 No. 1 overall pick led his team in scoring, adding five rebounds, one steal, and one block. However, he struggled shooting, going 7-for-16 from the field and 3-for-9 from deep. All things considered, it was a […]

NBA Power Rankings: Top-10 NBA Guards of the 2000s

Most of today's NBA guards have a three-point shot in their arsenals. While it's proof that the three-point shot is now a major weapon for most basketball players, it makes the game more predictable. The years between 2000 and 2010 saw the emergence of NBA guards who eventually became champions, Hall of Fame inductees, and […]

Hawks Not Extending Qualifying Offer To Saddiq Bey

The Atlanta Hawks declined to extend a qualifying offer to forward Saddiq Bey, making him an unrestricted free agent. The former Villanova Wildcat averaged 13.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 2023-24. Unfortunately, he tore his ACL, limiting him to 63 games. Without a doubt, Bey will draw interest from teams around the National […]

Pelicans Trade Dyson Daniels To The Hawks

The Hawks acquired guard Dyson Daniels (along with Larry Nance Jr., EJ Liddell, and two first-round picks) from the Pelicans in exchange for Dejounte Murray. While the departure of Murray means Atlanta lost an All-Star-caliber superstar, the Hawks received an up-and-coming player in Daniels, who has shown flashes of promise since entering the league in […]

Larry Nance Jr. Traded To The Hawks

The Hawks acquired forward Larry Nance Jr. from the Pelicans as a part of the trade that sent Dejounte Murray to New Orleans. Nance began his career with the Los Angeles Lakers and made stops in Cleveland and Portland before landing in New Orleans. Since his most productive season with the Cavs in 2019-20, his […]

Dejounte Murray Traded To New Orleans

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Hawks traded guard Dejounte Murray to the Pelicans in exchange for Larry Nance Jr., EJ Liddell, Dyson Daniels, and two first-round picks. The backcourt pairing of Murray and Trae Young didn't work, so the 27-year-old will head to New Orleans, a team hoping to re-enter the championship conversation. Murray […]

AJ Griffin Traded To Rockets

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Atlanta Hawks traded forward AJ Griffin to the Houston Rockets in exchange for the 44th pick of the NBA draft on Thursday. Griffin, a 2022 first-round pick out of Duke, had a limited role during his second year in Atlanta, averaging 2.4 points in 8.6 minutes across 20 outings […]

2024 NBA Draft Night: First Round Winners

The first round of the 2024 NBA Draft is in the books. It wasn’t the best of draft classes, but it also made for an unpredictable evening with no consensus top overall player.

Zaccharie Risacher Selected By The Hawks At No. 1

The Atlanta Hawks selected forward Zaccharie Risacher from France with the No. 1 overall pick of the 2024 NBA draft. The 19-year-old has had an impressive career overseas, and he averaged 13.1 points and 3.6 rebounds while shooting 56.1% in 17 EuroCup appearances in 2023-24. He still has things to work on, including passing. But […]

Three Teams Are "Appealing" To Trae Young

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young could be one of the biggest names on the move in the NBA this offseason. Sources have told Yahoo Sports' Jake Fischer that three teams are "appealing"to the talented playmaker, who has averaged a double-double in back-to-back seasons. These teams are the Lakers, Pelicans, and Spurs. Young seems like […]

Jalen Johnson Not Included In Trade Talks

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson has not been included in trade talks so far this offseason. According to Evan Sidery, it seems that Johnson is the only untouchable player on the roster when it comes to making trade deals. That means both stars in the backcourt, Trae Young and Dejounte Murray, are being shopped around, […]

Hawks Potentially Eyeing Donovan Clingan In NBA Draft

The Atlanta Hawks currently own the No. 1 pick in this year's NBA draft, and it happens to be one that there isn't many consensus picks from top to bottom. Alex Sarr has been talked about the most for the No. 1 selection, but it sounds like that could change after a recent Dan Hurley […]

Where Will Lebron James Play in 2024-2025? Five Potential Destinations

The last time LeBron James' camp announced the all-time leading scorer would be entering free agency, the league went supernova.

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter appears set for a change of scenery. According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the Hawks are ready to make Hunter available ahead of the 2024 draft.
