## Resource

The Eastern Conference just got a whole lot tougher for the Atlanta Hawks. After a stunning late-season surge last year, Atlanta’s roster got a modest upgrade with key returns and a few savvy trades—but the real shakeup came elsewhere. The Knicks, 76ers, Raptors, and Heat all landed elite talent, turning the East into a loaded battleground. With teams like Boston, Detroit, and Cleveland still firing on all cylinders, Atlanta’s gamble on internal growth—centered around young stars like Jalen Johnson and Onyeka Okongwu—could be their only shot at staying relevant. Next season won’t just be about making the playoffs; it’s about surviving a conference that’s now stacked to the brim with superstars.
