The 2019–20 Atlanta Hawks season was the 71st season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the 52nd in Atlanta .
This was the first time since the 2013–14 season that did not include Kent Bazemore on the roster, as he was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers for Evan Turner .[ 1] This also marks the 22nd and final season that Vince Carter plays in the NBA, becoming the longest-tenured player in NBA history, as well as the first to play in 4 different decades. Carter was also the last remaining active player who was drafted and had played in the 1990s.[ 2]
The season was suspended by the league officials following the games of March 11[ 3] after it was first reported that Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19 .[ 4] Vince Carter would play in what became his final game of his career later that night, hitting a three-pointer in an overtime loss to the New York Knicks at home. On June 4, 2020, it was announced by the NBA Board of Governors approved a plan that would restart the season with 22 teams returning to play in the NBA Bubble on July 31, 2020, which was approved by the National Basketball Players Association the next day. The Hawks, with the league's fourth-worst record at the time of the season's suspension, were not among them, effectively ending the team's season.[ 5] [ 6]
The Atlanta Hawks held two first round pick and three second round draft picks before entering the NBA draft lottery .[ 7] [ 8] On the night of the draft lottery, both their own first round pick and the pick acquired from the Dallas Mavericks the prior season fell down to become the Hawks' 8th and 10th selections of the draft, respectively. On June 6, the Hawks agreed to also acquire the 17th pick of the draft from the Brooklyn Nets alongside a future first round pick and Allen Crabbe in exchange for Taurean Prince and a 2020 second round pick.[ 9] Before the night of the 2019 NBA draft , the Hawks traded the 44th pick of the draft to the Miami Heat for a conditional 2024 second round pick and cash considerations.[ 10]
On the night of the draft, the Hawks agreed to a trade where they gave away picks 8, 17, and 35 to the New Orleans Pelicans in exchange for Solomon Hill , as well as the fourth pick of the draft (which became forward De'Andre Hunter from the University of Virginia ), the 57th selection, and a future second round pick. They also selected small forward Cam Reddish from Duke with their second selection in the top 10, as well as Angolan power forward Bruno Fernando from the University of Maryland with their last selection the Hawks kept.
