Atlanta Hawks
Christmas wishlist: A return to the NBA playoffs
The Atlanta Hawks operated this offseason as a team that was ready to make the jump in their progression as a franchise. The Haws haven’t made the playoffs since the 2016-17 NBA season and the hope is that their three-year postseason drought will end this season.
After adding Danilo Gallinari, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Rajon Rondo, and Kris Dunn in free agency, and selecting Onyeka Okongwu in the 2020 NBA Draft, the Hawks have big expectations for the 2020-21 season. With Trae Young and John Collins leading the way, a return in the playoffs could be in the cards for this season.
