The rumor mill has produced steadily less noise in the weeks since the conclusion of the 2023 NBA Summer League. While there are still outstanding trade requests from All-Star players in Portland and Philadelphia yet to be resolved, the Hawks have also been involved in the trade market trying to bring an All-Star of their own to Atlanta according to reports throughout this summer.
Even after dealing John Collins to the Utah Jazz for ‘financial flexibility’, the Hawks appear not to be finished in looking for upgrades to the squad for next season. Soon after, rumors of being involved in a possible Pascal Siakam sweepstakes emerged.
