Hawks Promote Onsi Saleh From GM to President of Basketball Operations Following Playoff Season

  • On Wednesday, the Atlanta Hawks promoted General Manager Onsi Saleh to president of basketball operations and signed him to a long-term contract extension.
  • Saleh arrived in Atlanta in 2024 as assistant general manager after serving as VP of basketball strategy with the Golden State Warriors, then was promoted to general manager in April 2025 after the Hawks fired Landry Fields.
  • At the 2026 trade deadline, Saleh orchestrated a complete roster overhaul, trading Trae Young to the Washington Wizards for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert while acquiring Jonathan Kuminga from Golden State; the Hawks then went 27-15 post-trade to finish 46-36.
  • The Hawks reached the first round and led the New York Knicks 2-1 before losing in six games, while Saleh finished runner-up for NBA Executive of the Year to Boston Celtics president Brad Stevens.
  • Saleh expressed gratitude to the Resslers for providing 'all the resources necessary' to build an elite program, while the Hawks hold two first-round picks in next month's NBA draft, including a top-10 selection from New Orleans.
