Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry dribbles past the Golden State Warriors logo at center court while playing the Los Angeles Lakers in the first quarter of their preseason NBA game at Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif., on Saturday, Oct. 5, 2019. ATLANTA — Making official what was previously reported, Onsi Saleh was officially hired Thursday by the Hawks as an assistant general manager, coming to Atlanta from Golden State.
Saleh served last season as the Warriors’ vice president of basketball strategy and team counsel. He joins a front office that already includes assistant GM Kyle Korver, who is now working under general manager Landry Fields, a Stanford alum. Before joining Golden State in 2021, Saleh spent five years with the San Antonio Spurs, finishing as the team’s director of strategy and process, along with the role of chief of staff.
“Onsi has played significant roles with two of the most well-respected organizations in the NBA,” Fields said in a statement. “In addition to his experience and expertise, we are thrilled to add someone with our shared values to our leadership team.”Saleh joins a team that hasn’t won a playoff series since a surprising run to the Eastern Conference final in 2021. The Hawks went 36-46 this season, finishing 10th in the East before a quick elimination during the play-in round.
Atlanta faces some big decisions during the offseason, most notably whether to break up the backcourt of Trae Young and Dejounte Murray.Ask Amy: I'm uneasy about what they're building in the basementDear Abby: I fell hard for my boss. She has asked me not to speak to her.
