The Atlanta Hawks are one of the teams that is being talked about the most in this NBA trade window. It was expected even before the transfer market opened. All the mediocre teams were absolutely going to make some changes to their roster. Since the league has gotten more competitive than ever, there are a lot of teams going through mediocrity. We have already seen some big moves this winter, and we are not done yet.
Before the transfer deadline comes on February 8, fans can expect some more big moves. It would not be surprising if one of the teams making those moves happens to be the Atlanta Hawks. This team is headed nowhere; their tactics and decisions haven’t worked out that well. It would be interesting to see which team manages to find a middle ground on a deal with the Hawks. Here is all the information you need about the Atlanta Hawks and their future plans.
How are the Atlanta Hawks performing this season?
The Atlanta Hawks are ranked 10th in the Eastern Conference this season. Their 20-27 record doesn’t even seem decent. They had stepped into the 2023-24 season with high hopes and big dreams, but it seems to have fallen apart. They are walking on a thin line between the playoffs and an early exit, where the latter seems more likely to happen.

What has gone wrong for the Atlanta Hawks this season?
The Hawks have a great roster. They had hoped for their duo of Dejounte Murray and Trae Young to carry them, but that wasn’t really the case. Murray looks like a spectator when Trae has the ball but the Hawks can’t afford to take Trae away from the ball as well.
"Dejounte Murray is going to continue to emerge as the top target for the Lakers, from what I'm told…Another scenario to keep an eye on, players that the Lakers do have interest in I'm told, is three guys from the Nets: Dorian Finney-Smith, Spencer Dinwiddie, Royce O'Neale."… pic.twitter.com/fSlRUxzzpq
