The Atlanta Hawks are looking to bolster their roster with experienced veterans to complement their promising young players like Zaccharie Risacher, Jalen Johnson, and Dyson Daniels, all while relying on the talents of All-Star guard Trae Young. One challenge for the Hawks is addressing their frontcourt depth, particularly with Clint Capela potentially heading elsewhere in free agency.

In response to this need, reports suggest the Hawks have their sights set on Luke Kornet, who is coming off a one-year stint with the Boston Celtics. Kornet's defensive skills might make him an attractive option for Atlanta, especially as they aim to nurture Onyeka Okongwu as their future starting center. With Kornet's playoff performance showcasing his abilities, he could provide the Hawks with valuable depth and experience.
