Hawks Navigate Roster Crunch & Kuminga Saga | Atlanta Hawks News

Atlanta Hawks face a roster crunch with 17 players signed for just 15 spots, forcing them to move two before the season starts. With Jonathan Kuminga still an unrestricted free agent, Atlanta is exploring sign-and-trade options with the Lakers and Cavaliers — but both offers so far fall short. The Lakers’ proposal involving Jarred Vanderbilt and a future pick swap lacks value given Vanderbilt’s contract and fit, while Cleveland’s salary cap constraints make a deal hard to structure favorably for Atlanta. Atlanta is eyeing Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen, but Cleveland won’t budge. Meanwhile, Kuminga’s demands remain unmet, and Atlanta won’t entertain a sign-and-trade unless it aligns with their roster goals. With no clear resolution in sight, the Hawks’ offseason work could position them for a strong start to the new season.
