Hawks Hire ESPN Analyst to Shape Future | Atlanta Hawks News

The Atlanta Hawks just pulled off a bold move by bringing in Tim Bontemps, ESPN’s veteran NBA reporter and longtime Hawks critic, to their front office. Known for his razor-sharp analysis and deep league knowledge, Bontemps is now tasked with shaping the team’s strategy alongside GM Onsi Saleh. His past critiques — including dissecting the Hawks’ defense — make his transition both surprising and strategic. With the Hawks eyeing a 50-win season and recent draft additions, Bontemps’ arrival could spark roster shakeups, potentially moving players like Corey Kispert or Zaccharie Risacher. This isn’t just a hire — it’s a statement: the Hawks are doubling down on analytics and vision to build a championship contender.
