The Atlanta Hawks have made significant changes in their front office, dismissing general manager Landry Fields and promoting Onsi Saleh to the role of GM. This decision comes after a disappointing 40-42 season, marking the second consecutive year the Hawks missed the playoffs. In a statement, Hawks owner Tony Ressler emphasized the need for strategic direction and resources to navigate the upcoming offseason's complex decisions.

Ressler expressed gratitude for Fields' contributions, acknowledging his leadership that has set the franchise up for future growth. Saleh, who previously served as vice president of basketball strategy and team counsel with the Golden State Warriors, will now oversee all basketball operations as the Hawks aim to refine their approach and reclaim their competitive edge.
