Hawks Replace GM Landry Fields with Onsi Saleh

The Atlanta Hawks have fired general manager Landry Fields after three years marked by missed playoff appearances, promoting Onsi Saleh to oversee all day-to-day basketball operations. The organization also announced plans to hire a seasoned executive as president of basketball operations to provide strategic direction alongside Saleh. Under Fields, the Hawks made notable moves such as drafting Zaccharie Risacher, a rookie of the year finalist, and developing talents like All-Star guard Trae Young and Dyson Daniels, a candidate for both defensive player and most improved player of the year. Saleh, who previously held strategic and legal roles with the Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs, brings a diverse background and is expected to lead the team through a pivotal offseason. Principal owner Tony Ressler emphasized the commitment to providing the necessary resources and leadership to help the franchise return to playoff success.
