Hawks Had Biggest Jump In Ticket Interest During NBA Free Agency

Nov 25, 2020 3:32 PM

The Atlanta Hawks were aggressive in free agency as they seek a playoff berth in 2021 and that translated into more interest from fans in purchasing tickets, according to data from Vivid Seats.

Here are the biggest risers, calculating change in rank (1-30) from draft night compared to the week since then:

1. Atlanta Hawks (+16)

2. Toronto Raptors (+11)

3. Utah Jazz (+10) 

4. Portland Trail Blazers (+5)

5. T- New York Knicks / New Orleans Pelicans (+3)

The Hawks jumped from 25th to 9th while the Raptors went from 16th to fifth overall.

Overall rank of demand since the draft:

1. Los Angeles Lakers

2. Charlotte Hornets

3. New York Knicks

4. Philadelphia 76ers

5. Toronto Raptors

The Hornets’ demand has kept up from the draft, though they got jumped by the Lakers (who are normally No. 1).

The interest in the Raptors could be related to the franchise playing the 20-21 season in Tampa.

Kings Decline To Match Bogdan Bogdanovic's Four-Year, $72M Deal With Hawks

Nov 24, 2020 9:03 PM

The Sacramento Kings have declined to match the four-year, $72 million offer sheet Bogdan Bogdanovic signed with the Atlanta Hawks.

The Kings perhaps signaled their intent to not retain Bogdanovic in restricted free agency when they discussed a sign-and-trade deal with the Milwaukee Bucks that eventually fell through last week.

The Kings signed Buddy Hield to a four-year, $94 million extension before the 19-20 season and they drafted Tyrese Haliburton last week, making the shooting guard position crowded for the team.

The Hawks were aggressive in free agency this offseason in hopes of returning to the playoffs in 2021, also signing Danio Gallinari, Rajon Rondo and Kris Dunn.
