Hawks Build Defensive Wall Without Trae | Atlanta Hawks News
Description
The Hawks just pulled off a blockbuster trade, sending Zaccharie Risacher to Dallas for Lu Dort and Ryan Nembhard, while OKC gets three second-round picks. This move, coming after Trae Young’s departure, signals a full-court pivot toward defense — exactly what Jalen Johnson needed. With Dyson Daniels and Dort now on board, Atlanta now boasts two of the league’s elite perimeter defenders, creating a defensive fortress that would’ve perfectly complemented Young’s playmaking. The irony? Young’s headed to Washington, where he’ll find talent — but not the same lockdown perimeter defense. The Hawks are building for the future, and it’s all about defense.
