The Atlanta Hawks have had a noteworthy 2024-25 offseason, highlighted by the trade of All-Star guard Dejounte Murray for future assets, including two first-round picks and the selection of French wing Zaccharie Risacher with the first overall pick.

This offseason reflects a pivotal moment for the franchise, sparking debate on the merits of their decisions. Some see the trade as a path to better long-term prospects, while others worry about the immediate talent on the roster.

While acquiring Risacher and Dyson Daniels offers potential, concerns linger about their ability to improve the team's win total from last season. The Hawks are striving for the Play-In tournament with diminished talent overall, but new dynamics could lead to unexpected growth.
