Atlanta Hawks
Team Summary
Made the offseason's most aggressive defensive bet: acquired Lu Dort from Oklahoma City for three second-rounders and landed Ryan Nembhard, while shipping 2024 No. 1 pick Zaccharie Risacher to Dallas in the same three-team framework. Dort's point-of-attack defense now fronts a young core of Johnson, Okongwu, Wiggins and Carter, with McCollum and Hield supplying veteran scoring. Kuminga's opt-out ($24.3M) still looms — Cleveland has registered mutual interest, and his sign-and-trade market decides whether Atlanta recoups value or loses him for nothing. Swapping Risacher's upside for Dort's defensive floor is a clear attempt to escape the play-in tier now.
