Hawks Get Defensive Anchor in Dort Trade | Atlanta Hawks News
Description
The Atlanta Hawks just pulled off a blockbuster three-team trade that sends tough perimeter defender Luguentz Dort to Atlanta from OKC, while landing Ryan Nembhard from Dallas — all while shipping Zaccharie Risacher to Dallas. With 17 players on the roster, Atlanta’s roster trimming is far from over, but Dort’s arrival is a major defensive upgrade, pairing perfectly with Dyson Daniels and Nickeil Alexander-Walker to counter teams that out-physicaled them in the playoffs. Meanwhile, Corey Kispert’s already slim role with the Hawks just got even smaller. This deal injects grit and depth into Atlanta’s core, solidifying their defensive identity — even if backup point guard questions remain.
