By winning the lottery, the Hawks may now be able to put even more distance between themselves, and some 2025 obligations.

The Atlanta Hawks landed the top overall selection in the 2024 NBA Draft, presumably picking Frenchman Alexandre Sarr.

By selecting Sarr, or whoever they go with, you'd have to assume the Hawks are looking to add wins to their record next year, drastically minimizing their chance of winning the lottery, and being forced to fork over superstar prospect Cooper Flagg. Of course, never say never. Stranger things have happened, and if Atlanta truly wants to get out ahead of it, to prevent giving up Flagg, they could offer the Spurs the number one overall pick for the rights to their pick back next summer.Regardless, this is good news for the Hawks on more fronts than just one. Now attention shifts to figuring out which center they'll offload this summer, assuming they're going Sarr at number one.
