Welcome to Atlanta Hawks Headlines. As always, this is best place to find a roundup of all the latest Atlanta Hawks discussion, opinion, analysis, and news. With the Hawks out of the playoffs, discussion has shifted to Atlanta’s summer plans.
Currently, the team is searching for their next general manager/president of basketball operations. Mike Budenholzer has relinquished his president of basketball operations duties and Wes Wilcox will be given a different role within the front office.
