Hawks’ Trae Young Era and Future Hope | Atlanta Hawks News

Grant Hill and Tony Ressler bought the Atlanta Hawks in 2015 after a magical run to the Conference Finals, but the team’s promise has since fizzled—winning just a couple of division titles and failing to hit 48 wins since. Hill admits the biggest misstep was mishandling Trae Young, whose trade he now regrets, despite his early brilliance and 2021 Eastern Conference Finals run. After a few playoff disappointments and a surprising trade for McCollum, the Hawks bounced back this season with a 46-win campaign and a sixth-seed playoff run, led by Jalen Johnson. With defensive upgrades, a rising rookie, and lessons learned from past mistakes, Hill is optimistic they’re finally poised for sustained success.
