The Atlanta Hawks have had an offseason like few other franchises have ever had. They covered all their needs including signing backup big man Gorgui Dieng which will have playoff implications, especially if the Hawks play Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers.

They also removed their dead-weight salary in the form of Kris Dunn and Bruno Fernando and bought in Delon Wright as part of their trade with the Boston Celtics and the Sacramento Kings. This means that almost every player on the roster will be playable on any given night giving the Hawks a tremendous level of depth at every position.
