Hawks

Fans who were attending Thursday night’s game between the Kings and Hawks in the Golden One Center in Sacramento were met with protests that prevented entry into the arena and led to the start of the game being delayed. The protests were centered around the recent shooting death of 23-year-old Stephon Clark, who was murdered [...]

The Hawks are in a full tear down, rebuild and tank mode. This means they have little use for veteran role players such as Marco Belinelli. The 31-year-old sharpshooter has been on the block the last few weeks as the Hawks try to deal him to a contending team in need of some more depth [...]

Nothing gets the frustration juices flowing quite like a loss to the Atlanta Hawks. Hence Dwyane Wade and Channing Frye (basically) calling out the Cleveland Cavaliers’ starters on Sunday, per ESPN.com’s Dave McMenamin: “It’s no secret we’re starting games off awful,” Dwyane Wade said after scoring a season-high 25 points as a reserve. “Terrible. And [Atlanta] got [...]

Ban. Injuries. Perhaps we say this every year, but for the life of me, I cannot remember a more brutal opening week in the NBA than the one we’re still living through. Gordon Hayward and Jeremy Lin are done for the season. Draymond Green was/is dealing with some knee problems. Andre Iguodala couldn’t play in the [...]

It appears Paul Millsap will be headed to the Denver Nuggets as part of a three-way sign-and-trade with the Los Angeles Clippers and Atlanta Hawks.

It [...]

It appears Paul Millsap will become an unrestricted free agent this summer. According to ESPN sources, Millsap has informed the Atlanta Hawks he’s opting out of the $21.4-million player option on his deal. This comes as no surprise as most expected the 32 year old to opt out of his final year in order to [...]

The Atlanta Hawks’ search for a new general manager appears to be leading them to some expected faces. Like Chauncey Billups, among others, for instance. From The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski: The Magic are competing with the Atlanta Hawks, who have a general manager opening. Atlanta is considering a number of candidates, including Griffin, Joe Dumars, Houston vice [...]

The Atlanta Hawks are shaking up their front office. According to The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski—and as also reported by ESPN.com’s Jeff Goodman and Marc J. Spears—Wes Wilcox is out as general manager and head coach Mike Budenholzer will forfeit his president duties while staying on as head coach: In a restructuring of the front office, [...]

Paul Millsap won’t leave the Atlanta Hawks hanging. He has a player option for next season and, as expected, will decline it to enter free agency. The 32-year-old made that much clear, for the most part, during his end-of-season presser, per the Atlanta Journal-Constitution‘s Chris Vivlamore: It took some doing, but Paul Millsap finally said what everyone [...]

Thus far the title defense of the Cavaliers during the 2016-17 season has been a rocky road with a lot of highs and seemingly just as many lows. There were times when Kevin Love was playing his best basketball since becoming a Cavalier and LeBron was playing at another level for him, and there were [...]
