The Atlanta Hawks are active in the lead up to the NBA draft and free agency as they look to improve their roster around Trae Young.
League sources say the Hawks like guards Keaton Wagler and Mikel Brown Jr. in the draft. Atlanta wants to add depth and length in the backcourt for the long term.
The team also plans to pursue center Isaiah Hartenstein if the Oklahoma City Thunder decline his team option. Hartenstein would give them a strong interior presence.
Trade talks continue, with some discussion around adding forward Cam Johnson in deals that could involve salary adjustments and future picks.
The Hawks finished the 2025-26 season looking for more consistency. They now work to build a deeper supporting cast for Young and the core group.
