Atlanta Hawks confirm they will not pursue Goga Bitadze trade
Summary

The Atlanta Hawks will not pursue a trade for Goga Bitadze from the Orlando Magic, NBA insider Jake Fischer reported on June 29, 2026. This decision follows mixed sentiments from Hawks fans, particularly due to Bitadze's past incident that injured Hawks player Jock Landale. The Hawks have been active this offseason, extending CJ McCollum's contract and acquiring Oklahoma City Thunder forward Aaron Wiggins. To enhance their frontcourt, the Hawks selected Zuby Ejiofor and Henri Veesaar during the recent NBA draft. With Bitadze remaining with the Magic, the Hawks will continue to focus on other roster improvements.
