Hawks Won't Trade Okongwu

The Atlanta Hawks are firmly holding onto Onyeka Okongwu, viewing him as a cornerstone of their long-term rebuild. Despite trade rumors swirling, the team sees him as irreplaceable—both on the court and in value, with a contract that pays less than $17M annually while delivering over 15 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists per game. Atlanta’s philosophy is to build smart, not sell cheap, and Okongwu’s consistent growth and role as a starter make him too valuable to trade unless they can land a clear, elite upgrade at center. The Hawks aren’t just keeping him—they’re investing in his future. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
