The Atlanta Hawks are in a good place. After regressing last season, the front office rejuvenated the roster. After a series of moves, the team is now poised to make another deep playoff run like the magical 2020-21 team.

The NBA has become a game of musical chairs thanks to player movement, powerful agents, and aggressive general managers. So today, we are building the best roster possible using only former Hawks players.
