Hawks Mull Trae Young Trade, Restructure Front Office

The Atlanta Hawks are considering a significant roster overhaul after missing the playoffs for two straight seasons, including exploring trade options for star guard Trae Young, who is eligible for an extension. Atlanta reportedly held talks with the Sacramento Kings about a blockbuster trade involving Young, with potential returns including veterans, young players like Keon Ellis, and multiple first-round picks to support a possible rebuild around Jalen Johnson and Zaccharie Risacher. At the same time, the Hawks are restructuring their front office, hiring Bryson Graham from the New Orleans Pelicans as Senior VP of Basketball Operations and Peter Dinwiddie from the Philadelphia 76ers as Senior VP of Strategy and Analytics, both reporting to new GM Onsi Saleh. These changes reflect a strategic shift for the organization as it reassesses both its leadership and player core. The Pelicans are now searching for a new general manager following Graham's exit, just weeks before the NBA Draft. The Hawks' moves indicate a broader commitment to change both on and off the court.
