The Atlanta Hawks have made significant moves this offseason, re-signing veteran guard CJ McCollum to a one-year, $21 million deal. Last result: Milwaukee Bucks 124-145 Atlanta Hawks (2025-03-30).
What happened?
The Hawks have been active in the market, bringing back McCollum, who was a great veteran presence for the team and gave them the scoring punch they needed.
The team has also made two key decisions with Buddy Hield and Mouhamed Gueye. Gueye had a $2.4 million team option for this season, which was picked up by Atlanta.
Trades
The Hawks made their first trade of the offseason when they sent two second-round picks to Oklahoma City for guard/forward Aaron Wiggins. With the Thunder in a financial crunch this offseason, the Hawks took full advantage and got a talented, young wing on a great contract to bolster their depth.
Draft
Atlanta entered the 2026 NBA Draft with three picks and made three selections. The Hawks selected Houston PG Kingston Flemings with the No. 8 overall pick, Saint Johns F/C Zuby Ejiofor with the No. 23 pick, and moved up in the second round to select North Carolina center Henri Veesaar with the No. 52 pick.

The Hawks are looking to build on their recent form, which has seen them win three of their last four games. With the new signings and trades, the team is shaping up to be a strong contender in the 2026-2027 NBA season.
What comes next?
The Hawks will continue to shape their roster in the coming weeks and months, with more moves expected to be made. Head coach Quin Snyder has been locked up to an extension, and Onsi Saleh has been promoted to President of Basketball Operations, giving the team a strong leadership core.
The Atlanta Hawks are looking to make a deep run in the playoffs next season, and with their recent moves, they are well on their way to achieving that goal.
