NBA Rumors: The two moves that the Hawks eagerly desire in the market

Atlanta Hawks continues to remodel its perimeter following Trae Young's departure last season, and one of the moves the franchise wants to secure is the continuity of CJ McCollum.

The veteran guard arrived in Atlanta as part of the trade for Young and left a positive impression during his initial stint with the team. McCollum played 41 regular-season games with the Hawks, starting 25 of them, in addition to starting all six games in the first-round playoff series.

Hawks' intention would be to re-sign McCollum to maintain experience and leadership in a roster that is still undergoing significant transition.

However, even if the veteran returns, Atlanta would also be interested in adding another young guard during the 2026 NBA Draft.

The franchise holds the eighth pick in the draft thanks to the trade made last year with the New Orleans Pelicans, putting them in an intriguing position to bolster their perimeter rotation.

Several options on the table

Among the names that could be available for the Hawks are prospects like Keaton Wagler, Mikel Brown Jr., Darius Acuff Jr., and Kingston Flemings.

If none of these players are available when Atlanta's turn comes, the organization could also choose to strengthen the frontcourt by selecting Spanish center Aday Mara.

The front office is considering various options as they aim to build a more balanced and competitive team around their new core.
