Summary
The Atlanta Hawks just handed Onsi Saleh a long-term deal, locking him in as President of Basketball Operations — a bold move signaling total faith in his fearless, high-stakes strategy. In just one season, Saleh’s already executed ten trades, including landing Nickeil Alexander-Walker and flipping Kristaps Porzingis for future assets like Jonathan Kuminga. He even navigated Trae Young’s contract with surgical precision, trading him for flexibility instead of handing out a max extension. While some moves haven’t gone perfectly — Porzingis’s injury woes being a case in point — the overall vision is clear: build for the future with young talent like Kuminga, who could become a key scoring force. Saleh’s reputation for thinking outside the box has earned him respect across the league, and this extension isn’t just a retention play — it’s a full-throated endorsement of his vision. The Hawks are betting big on his audacity to reshape the franchise. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
