Depending on who you ask, the Atlanta Hawks are either having a bad offseason or they are remaking their roster in a way that fits Trae Young better, even if th
ey are not an NBA title contender. I am in the latter group, but not everyone is. In a recent ranking of the, CBS Sports Brad Botkin had the Hawks as one of the losers of the offseason:
The three picks they gave up for Murray in the first place, however, were very high value. They were the Hawks' own picks, and without them they have no incentive to bottom out for a higher draft pick. They don't control their own first-round pick until 2028. The bottom of the East is terrible and you can make the argument that Atlanta is better than Miami and Toronto. While the Hawks were not very good last year, they were also one of the unluckiest teams when it came to injuries. With better injury luck and a roster that makes sense around Young, it is not impossible for Atlanta to be a top six seed in the East, especially if other teams underperform their expectations and don't make the next projected leap .
