The Atlanta Hawks's roster seems very set heading into the 2026-27 season. They brought in Lu Dort to upgrade the perimeter defense, took a swing on Aaron Wiggins re-discovering his form and re-signed both CJ McCollum and Jock Landale to significant one-year deals.
Since most of the Hawks' offseason moves are done, the focus now turns to evaluating the team's progress through the regular season. A key part of that is identifying candidates who are either likely to be moved at the trade deadline or gone in free agency during the summer of 2027.

Finishing as a 46-win team, making the playoffs and pushing the eventual NBA champions to six games is a sign that the Atlanta Hawks are headed in the right direction.
The regular season is important, but NBA legends are made in the playoffs. More specifically, it's the Finals where the all-time greats have built their otherworldly reputations.
The Hawks have requested waivers on big man Will Baker, the team announced today in a press release. The move opens up a second spot on Atlanta’s 21-man offseason roster, as the club now has 19 players under contract.
The offseason has seen some dramatic shifts, particularly in the Eastern Conference. For the first time in a long time, the East might be deeper than the West, and there are as many as 10 teams (possibly 12) that will be vying for the top eight spots for the postseason.
After a less-than-eventful offseason for the Atlanta Hawks, the rest of the Eastern Conference has become a gauntlet overnight.

Over the final stretch of the season, the Atlanta Hawks had one of the best starting lineups in the NBA.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker becoming an NBA All-Star would have sounded fairly outrageous a year ago. Now? It merely sounds bold. Jackson Caudell of NBA On SI recently predicted that Alexander-Walker will join Jalen Johnson as one of two Atlanta representatives in the 2027 All-Star Game.
