Saleh Exploits NBA’s Second Apron | Atlanta Hawks News

Atlanta Hawks president Onsi Saleh is turning NBA financial headaches into championship assets, snagging elite defenders like Lu Dort from teams stuck in the second apron—first the Celtics with Porziņģis, now the Thunder with Dort. With Dort’s contract looming and young talent rising in OKC, Saleh seized the moment to bolster Atlanta’s defense and add playoff pedigree. It’s a calculated, low-risk strategy: if Dort doesn’t fit long-term, the Hawks can reset without losing leverage. Saleh’s moves aren’t just smart—they’re already paying off.
