Hawks Lock In McCollum Amid Roster Moves | NBA News

NBA free agency just kicked off, and the Atlanta Hawks are already making waves—locking up CJ McCollum on a $21M one-year deal to fuel playoff momentum. Before the gates even opened, they pulled off savvy trades: sending two second-round picks to OKC for Aaron Wiggins, and snagging Devin Carter plus a second-rounder from Sacramento. They also drafted three rookies—Kingston Flemings, Zuby Ejiofor, and Henri Veesaar—and made smart roster moves, picking up Mouhamed Gueye while letting Jonathan Kuminga’s hefty contract walk to stay under the luxury tax line. With 14 guaranteed contracts already over the cap, expect more moves—especially at center. Keep an eye on Corey Kispert, Zaccharie Risacher, and Buddy Hield as trade candidates. The Hawks are in a roster crunch, but their aggressive moves signal a bold push for contention.
