Atlanta Hawks Go All In For Anthony Davis

The Hawks are reportedly ready to go all in to land Anthony Davis. Marc Stein writes Atlanta is "willing to surrender Zaccharie Risacher in the proverbial right scenario," and could package Risacher with expiring contracts from Kristaps Porziņģis and Luke Kennard to woo Dallas. That kind of offer signals Atlanta is prioritizing immediate title contention over holding young upside. Merlin sees a bold gamble. Risacher was the No. 1 overall pick just 18 months ago, so trading him is a clear signal the Hawks want proven star power now. Dallas will drive the price and likely demand more draft compensation, so any deal will ripple across the trade market and test Atlanta’s resolve.
