## Resource

The Atlanta Hawks just leveled up their front office by bringing in Tim Bontemps, former ESPN NBA writer and league insider, as a strategic advisor under President Onsi Saleh. This move fills the void left by departed veteran Bryson Graham, who helped land key assets like the 2026 first-round pick. With Bontemps’ deep NBA analysis and network, the Hawks are sharpening their focus on building around young stars Jalen Johnson and Onyeka Okongwu — and making smarter moves in free agency and trades. It’s not a magic bullet, but it’s a clear sign Atlanta’s front office is evolving into a championship-caliber unit.
