Atlanta Hawks eye a potential blockbuster trade for Trey Murphy III, despite playing it cool this offseason. With solid contracts and rising young talent, they’ve got the flexibility to move if the price is right — especially for a player like Murphy, who’s on a bargain $87M contract over three years. The Pelicans’ high demands make a deal tricky, but Atlanta could package players like Kispert or Hield with future picks to land him. Whether they pull the trigger depends on if Murphy’s the missing piece — and if another team doesn’t beat them to the punch.

Zuby Ejiofor made a bold statement in his summer league debut, dropping 8 points, hauling in 11 rebounds, and snagging 3 steals in 28 minutes—proving he’s a versatile asset ready to shine. With a late first-round draft pick, he needs consistency to win over skeptics, and his next big test comes against Oklahoma City’s towering Aday Mara. Despite the size disadvantage, Ejiofor has the potential to out-rebound Mara and deliver a statement performance. A strong showing now could set the tone for a standout rookie season and validate the Hawks’ faith in him.

The Atlanta Hawks are in roster crunch mode with 16 players signed—over the NBA limit—forcing tough decisions before the season. Buddy Hield, a high-volume shooter but low-impact defender, and Corey Kispert, a solid shooter with defensive flaws and a pricey contract, are both potential trade candidates. Meanwhile, Zaccharie Risacher’s $17M option looms large, with the team needing to decide by October whether to decline or trade him. With waiving players unlikely, trades seem the most probable path forward as Atlanta prepares for the grind ahead.
