The Atlanta Hawks are in desperate need of a consistent secondary scoring option to complement Trae Young, and Zach LaVine fits the bill perfectly. The two-time All-Star brings elite shot-making, averaging 24.0 points per game on 51.5% shooting this season, including 45.5% from beyond the arc. His ability to create his own shot would relieve pressure on Young and give Atlanta a potent one-two punch on offense.

While De'Andre Hunter and Bogdan Bogdanovic are valuable, they lack Zach LaVine’s offensive ceiling. Adding LaVine’s explosiveness and athleticism could catapult the Hawks into a serious chance of holding a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The 2029 first-round pick sweetens the deal for Chicago, signaling Atlanta’s willingness to go all-in on their star duo.
