• Departures: Bruno Fernando (traded), Kris Dunn (traded), Brandon Goodwin (not re-signed), Tony Snell (not re-signed), Nathan Knight (not re-signed)

The Hawks open the regular season Thursday night vs. the Dallas Mavericks from Atlanta. Atlanta will look to pick up where they left off in the regular season last year, when they were one of the best teams in the NBA from Mar. 1 to the end of the regular season. Their regular season run was obviously then followed by lengthy postseason run that resulted in a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Stay tuned.
