• [Last Word on Sports] - Onsi Saleh’s Trade Maneuvers Put Hawks In Dynasty Position
  COMPARED to , who now headlines a Washington Wizards team that features , Atlanta Hawks forward is not as openly confident about his ability to lead a team. Regardless, his numbers speak for themselves. Onsi Saleh’s Trade Maneuvers Put Hawks In Dynasty Position Johnson’s one of 20 points, 10 rebounds and five assists per game, the other two being Denver Nuggets center and Milwaukee Bucks forward , both of whom are multi-time NBA MVPs. This season, he has more games with 15+ points, 10+ rebounds and 5+ assists than anyone else (h/t StatMuse on X). He leads Atlanta in points (23.2), rebounds (10.5) and assists (8.0) per game. He’s also the first player in Hawks history with 10 triple-doubles, notable for a franchise that’s had players like Young, four-time All-Star , five-time All-Star , nine-time All-Star and 11-time All-Star . Already a 6-foot-8 plus athlete, Johnson’s been consistently developing his guard skills and scoring ability since entering the league. That’s the culmination of the work he’s put in so far. The fact that he’s only 24 is incredible. With that being said, if he ends up plateauing, he’s already a cornerstone player. If he continues getting better, the sky is the proverbial limit for he and a potentially dynastic Hawks team. It’s A Marathon, Not A Sprint Saleh’s moves shimmer like the stars in Orion’s Belt. Of course, the trade that sent Young to the Wizards is his most noteworthy transaction. However, that move came after he signed and last summer. Alexander-Walker, 27, is typically thought of as a 3-and-D wing. However, this season he’s played more of an on-ball role than in the past. Accordingly, he’s averaging career-highs of 20.3 points and 3.5 assists per game in 2025-26. Porzingis got off to a good start with the Hawks too, appearing to shake off the in 2024-25. Yet, not only did symptoms of the mystery malady return, the 30-year-old was routinely injured. As a result, he’s only played 17 games this season, an impetus behind Atlanta’s of Davis. With that being said, Porzingis’s signing isn’t important because he worked out for the Hawks. It’s because his expiring $30.7 million contract allowed Atlanta to with the Golden State Warriors. Swooping in out of nowhere, the Hawks have acquired and . Balancing Act: The Hawks Have It All Kuminga is the main attraction of the trade and not just because of with Warriors head coach Steve Kerr. At 23 years old, the former seventh overall pick is still relatively raw in terms of guard skills and decision-making. Yet, he’s had sustained moments of excellence, providing evidence of . This would make him a polarizing player no matter what the circumstances were. However, playing for the NBA’s most recent dynasty team put his lack of polish under the microscope. Still, just because he was developing too slow for Kerr’s liking doesn’t mean he has to be the Hawks’ redheaded stepchild. He’s likely to come off the bench in Atlanta simply because 2024 No. 1 pick accepts the 3-and-D role he’s asked to play. To that point, Risacher complements Johnson better, on paper. Nonetheless, a featured role in the second unit should allow Kuminga to play to his strengths. A physically gifted and scoring-minded forward, Kuminga has an attacking mentality. With his athleticism and highlight plays, he’ll infuse the game with energy. Facing off against reserves, he can wreak havoc against lesser defenders. Him coming off the bench also has an intrinsic benefit for Atlanta. When Johnson is off the court, the Hawks no longer have to worry about if a frontcourt player not named can get buckets. That’s been a major issue for them all season, and one reason Johnson hasn’t played. Hield, 15th all-time in career 3s (2,194), can’t be dismissed though. The 33-year-old joins and as the team’s 3-point specialists. He hadn’t been his usual self with the Warriors. Nevertheless, he’s Atlanta’s only player with more 3-pointers than McCollum (2,113). Atlanta Hawks Projected Depth Chart As of today, the Hawks’ current depth chart looks like this: PG: Dyson Daniels, CJ McCollum, Keaton Wallace, RayJ Dennis* SG: Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Luke Kennard, Buddy Hield SF : Zaccharie Risacher, Jonathan Kuminga, Nikola Djurisic, Caleb Houstan* PF : Jalen Johnson, Corey Kispert, Mo Gueye C : Onyeka Okongwu, Jock Landale, Duop Reath, N’Faly Dante, Christian Koloko* *- Player on two-way contract Having decided to build around Johnson, Atlanta now boasts one of the more balanced teams in the NBA. Mixing, Matching & Mo Gueye 22-year-old put himself on the map as a Defensive Player of the Year candidate last season. Since the New Year, he’s averaging 11.3 points, 7.2 assists, and 1.8 steals per game while shooting 51.2% from the field. Though he’s not the type of scorer or shooter modern-day point guards tend to be, that’s okay.
