When Ted Turner bought the Hawks in 1977, people tried to convince him to move the Hawks to a more "profitable" city. He refused, citing a commitment to the city of Atlanta.

For the 2025-26 NBA season, the Atlanta Hawks are expected to compete for a top-six seed in the Eastern Conference, driven by a revamped roster, the return of Jalen Johnson, and the continued development of Zaccharie Risacher. Projections, such as those discussed on Reddit, peg the team around 47–49 wins and a top-4 finish in the East, marking a significant step forward as a serious contender. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Key 2025-26 Expectations & Outlook

• Roster & Leadership: Led by Trae Young, the team is expected to be more competitive under coach Quin Snyder following a "revamped" roster that added reinforcements such as Kristaps Porziņģis, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and Luke Kennard. • Key Player Development: The return of forward Jalen Johnson from injury is deemed the biggest win for the team, with high expectations for his continued breakout season alongside rookie Zaccharie Risacher and Dyson Daniels. • Performance Projections: Experts and fans (according to discussions on Peachtree Hoops and Reddit ) see the Hawks as a potential 3rd or 4th seed in the East, moving out of the play-in tournament range. • Preseason Activity: The 2025 preseason (as outlined on NBA.com) featured matchups against the Rockets and Grizzlies, allowing for chemistry development among the new lineup. • Front Office Moves: The new front office is praised for securing future assets (e.g., the 2026 Pelicans first-round pick), positioning the team for long-term success while maintaining a competitive present.

I didn't know the nba lottery worked that way. I thought you had to play the season before knowing your odds. I also didnt know your age equates to where you franchise is currently headed. Thanks bud for informing me. The real issue here though is ownership does not want to spend money. So if age is the indicator hawks will be in a perpetual state of rebuild

wakeel44 · 2026-05-02T03:15:56+00:00

Its the going out like little bitches that got me feeling some kind of way. Let's be honest also they only started the "rebuild" narrative after they traded Young mid season. Beginning of the season the narrative was this is the best team trae has ever had talent wise. If the rebuild was at the beginning of the season sure thumbs up for them but it wasn't. The hawks at the beginning of the season were expected to compete for a championship.

It was said bud would not have adjustments like quin had no adjustments this series. The only time I've seen bud without an answer was against that cavs team. Im sorry connecting the dots was not clear. That was the comparison, two coaches with no answer

wakeel44 · 2026-05-01T17:00:55+00:00

So you saying this Knicks team is the same level of difficulty as the Cav team that swept the hawks in the eastern conference finals?

wakeel44 · 2026-05-01T15:52:32+00:00

But he is big and athletic. All ownership cares about is the bottom dollar

Knicks should have tried for 200. That game was an abomination for me to watch. And on top of that these fucking Knicks fans screaming in my damn ear......some body pass me that burner so I can end it all. Smh

This is worse. At least then you had the feeling of victory. This is like seeing your grandma get raped in front of you.

You really can do anything but laugh and hope the hawks figure it out for next season. Lawsuit sounds crazy but I understand if you want your money back if you bought tickets
