The future is now! We go in-depth on the Atlanta Hawks with a specific focus on Jalen Johnson and Trae Young; answering the key questions that the Atlanta front office is currently facing: What is the current state of this team from a roster and salary cap perspective? What are Johnson and Young as players now, as well as projecting forward? And most importantly, what transactions need to be made at the 2026 trade deadline to best set this team up for future success?

To assist with answering these questions to the best of our ability, we provide key-player scouting reports, salary cap analysis, and plausible foundations for in-season trades.
