The Atlanta Hawks have a lot of decisions to make this summer, and it starts in the upcoming 2025 NBA Draft, where they own the 13th pick (via Sacramento Kings) and the 22nd pick (via Los Angeles Lakers). The Hawks fired former General Manager Landry Fields and have found his replacement to be Onsi Saleh. They are still looking to add a president of basketball operations, with reports linking them to multiple possible options. In addition to these developments, the Hawks have taken some small steps forward, leaving many optimistic about the team's future and the accomplishments they can achieve.

The Atlanta Hawks exceeded many expectations, but in a way, they have flown under the radar compared to most teams in the process. For instance, the Hawks advanced to the In-Season Tournament Conference Finals and then concluded the season in the Play-In Tournament as the eighth seed, featuring many young players on the team.
