It’s been an extraordinarily busy offseason for the Hawks from the top down that began with extensions for both general manager Onsi Saleh and head coach Quin Snyder.
It is not exactly a secret that the Hawks need to add to the center position this offseason. Yes, they drafted Henri Veesaar and Zuby Ejiofor this week during the NBA Draft, but they are not going to be relying on two rookies to back up Onyeka Okongwu this year.
While the ending of the season wasn’t ideal, the Atlanta Hawks find themselves on the trajectory to have an amazing offseason. Onsi Saleh and his front office pulled off an amazing haul in the first round of the 2026 NBA draft, drafting Houston’s Kingston Flemings with the 8th pick out of Houston and St.
Let the anticipation for the NBA's free agency period begin. With the 2026 NBA Draft now over, the next phase of the offseason is set to begin, and we have already seen blockbuster trades including Giannis Antetokounmpo, LaMelo Ball, and Julius Randle.

The NBA is truly a global league. As such, there have been historical impacts left on the game by players of all walks of life. Some of the game's all-time
A couple of pieces of news happened on Thursday as it pertains to the roster for next season. First, Buddy Hield was acquired by the Hawks last trade deadline as part of a move that sent Kristaps Porzingis to Golden State for the real centerpiece of the trade: Jonathan Kuminga.
The Hawks have exercised their fourth-year team option on Mouhamed Gueye, Michael Scotto reports for HoopsHype (Twitter link). Gueye has emerged as a valuable and versatile bench player for Atlanta over the last few seasons.
The Hawks and Buddy Hield have agreed to push back the date to fully guarantee his $9.7MM contract, NBA insider Chris Haynes reports (Twitter link). The previous date was June 25.
Just like that, the 2026 NBA Draft is now over. The Atlanta Hawks came away with one of the top classes in this year's draft, and they did not have to make many moves to do so.
Is grading a draft class before they’ve stepped on an NBA floor an incredible waste of time? Yes. Are we going to discuss it 100% of the time? Also, yes.
After taking Kingtson Flemings and Zuby Ejiofor in the first round Tuesday night, the Hawks turned around on Wednesday and might have found the steal of the draft, selecting seven-foot center out of North Carolina Henri Veesaar.
In the NBA Draft, the first round is where teams look for players who could be stars or at least contribute right away. Then there's the second round, where the stakes are low and not much is expected.
The 2026 NBA Draft is in the books. The Atlanta Hawks had been described as a team that was open for business and looking to make trades, but Atlanta entered the draft with three picks, and they ended up making three picks.
Here are five second-round picks who could make a much bigger impact next season than their draft position suggests.
The Atlanta Hawks had one draft pick coming into tonight’s second round of the 2026 NBA Draft, number 57 overall. But the brass decided to use some cash to jump up to 52 and grab their guy, Henri Veesaar from UNC.
ESPN NBA reporter Tim Bontemps is expected to join the front office of the Atlanta Hawks according to a report from Front Office Sports. Bontemps has worked at the world wide leader since 2018 and has served as a writer and on camera reporter throughout his tenure.
The Atlanta Hawks walked away with two players in the first round of the NBA Draft, with the first one being Kingston Flemings from Houston. Flemings was projected as one of the better guards in this draft, and he now heads to Atlanta, where they could use his speed in shot creation in the backcourt.
The Atlanta Hawks were a team of mystery on the first night of the NBA draft, but clues were lying around. The Hawks’ needs entering the draft were noticeable.
The Hawks have used the eighth overall pick in the 2026 draft to nab former Houston guard Kingston Flemings. Flemings wasn’t included in the first 60-player mock draft that ESPN published last June, but quickly rose up draft boards as he got off to a hot start to his college career with the Cougars.
Tim Bontemps has been one of ESPN’s top NBA insiders since he joined the company in 2018. However, Bontemps could be leaving the company for a job with the Atlanta Hawks, according to Ryan Glasspiegel and Alex Schiffer of Front Office Sports.

The Atlanta Hawks have plucked away an experienced veteran from the Oklahoma City Thunder.
He averaged 18.7 points per game for Atlanta in 41 games last season, and the Hawks went 27-14 during the regular season when he played.
The Hawks have at least looked into what Jonathan Kuminga might bring back on the trade market. That doesn’t necessarily mean they’re eager to move him.
Atlanta's desire to continue the status quo comes off the franchise's best season in a decade.
