Let’s hear from the voice of the fans.
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Atlanta Hawks fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
It’s been a busy couple of weeks following a transitional year on the court during the 2024-25 season. With the Trae Young-Dejounte Murray experiment firmly in the rearview window, the Hawks pivoted to a younger core, unearthing a Defensive Player of the Year candidate and a Rookie of the Year candidate in the same offseason.
Although the Hawks finished 40-42 and missed the playoffs via a Play-In Tournament exit last week for the second consecutive year, there are better vibes emanating from the team and the fanbase than had existed for the a few years — in the view of this blogger’s anecdotal barometer anyway.
But earlier this week, the team made a wave of headlines in moving on from a principle architect of this iteration of the Hawks.
Landry Fields, who had been the general manager since the summer of 2022 and the de facto head of basketball operations and player personnel since December of 2022, was terminated from his position. In his place, Onsi Saleh was named the new head of day-to-day operations, but a search is still ongoing to fill the higher position of president of basketball operations.
So with that backdrop, we’d like to hear from you the answer to this question: how do you feel about the current direction of the Atlanta Hawks? Please mark your response in our survey below, and feel free to discuss in the comments!
