Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu secures $62M deal before deadline

Onyeka Okongwu, center for the Atlanta Hawks, has agreed to a four-year, $62 million contract extension, becoming the final player from the 2020 NBA draft class to finalize his rookie scale extension before the deadline. Okongwu averaged 9.9 points and 7.2 rebounds last season and was the No. 6 overall pick in the draft. The Hawks were unable to reach a rookie contract extension with forward Saddiq Bey, who will enter restricted free agency next summer along with other notable players.

"Exploring Damian Lillard's Trade Options: Under-the-radar Targets and Potential Packages"

As trade rumors swirl around Damian Lillard, the Portland Trail Blazers should consider targeting under-the-radar players in a potential trade. One player they should pursue is Onyeka Okongwu of the Atlanta Hawks. The 22-year-old forward has shown promise with his defensive prowess and versatility. With the Blazers in need of a center who can guard multiple positions, Okongwu could be a valuable asset for their rebuilding efforts. While Lillard's preferred destination is the Miami Heat, the Hawks could still be involved as a third team in a potential trade.
