The Atlanta Hawks are a team that clearly had contending aspirations for the 2021-22 season after they made the Eastern Conference Finals in the 2020-21 playoffs. However, they have been far from a contender thus far. The Hawks currently sport a 17-23 record and are 12th in the Eastern Conference.

It seems as though the Atlanta Hawks' front office is willing to shake up the roster in an attempt to put a more competitive team around superstar Trae Young. A recent report by Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report related the words of an assistant GM who claimed that the Hawks have made everyone available for trade except Trae Young and center Clint Capela.
