Should Atlanta Make A Push For Domantas Sabonis? The 3× All-Star and 2× All-NBA selection is averaging 19.0 PPG | 16.5 RPG | 7.3 APG early in 2026-27. At 30, Sabonis offers elite rebounding, efficient interior scoring, and high-level playmaking from the center position. Pairing him with Jalen Johnson could give Atlanta one of the NBA’s most versatile frontcourts, improving second-chance production, half-court execution, and offensive efficiency. The question: Is Sabonis the missing piece that elevates Atlanta into legitimate Eastern Conference contention, or would his $45M+ salary, defensive limitations, and potential acquisition cost outweigh the benefits? Hawks fans, are you making that call?

Being in shape doesnt help him bang with bigs, but being 255 and stronger than he is now, would. Hes only shooting 43% from the field and 20% from 3 while averaging 9 pts 5 rebs. That is a problem. He averaged 15pts and 8 rebs last season.

Whats frustrating to me is that Okongwu's Draft profile has him listed as 6'9 245 at 20 yrs old. 5 years later hes still listed at 240. He hasnt put in the work to get bigger and stronger. He should be 255 and muscled up. But, he looks the exact same.

"Unfortunately, (Naz Reid) didn't meet our standards in the first half, and at halftime we made the decision that he wouldn't play in the second half. But I look forward to him meeting those standards come next game." — Charles Lee (h/t @HornetsReddit)

Man, I hope the Hawks dont lose tonight. The Heat are not going to lose every game. They are gonna win eventually. They are shooting 30.6% from 3 as a team on the season. If they pop off for 50% from 3 tonight, the Hawks fan base will not be able to process it.

Onyeka hasnt had a single game where hes gotten double digit rebounds this season. If were going to run an undersized lineup from 1-3… then you cant run a 6’8 starting Center. This simply isnt going to work for 82 games and into the playoffs

Onyeka don’t need to start over jock landale if we being honest…
