Hawks add Graham, Dinwiddie to front office

The Atlanta Hawks have named Bryson Graham as Senior Vice President of Basketball Operations and Peter Dinwiddie as Senior Vice President of Strategy and Analytics, the team announced Wednesday.

In April, the Hawks fired general manager Landry Fields, and Onsi Saleh was promoted to general manager. 

“We are fortunate to be able to add Bryson and Peter to our leadership team. Bryson is widely regarded as one of the league’s top young talent evaluators, and Peter is one of the most strategic minds in the NBA. Ownership has empowered me to build a robust and dynamic front office, and adding two extremely talented, experienced, and respected executives in Bryson and Peter is a home run for our group,” said Hawks General Manager Onsi Saleh in a press release.

Graham comes to the Hawks after spending the previous 15 seasons with the New Orleans Pelicans, most recently serving as the team’s general manager during the 2024-25 campaign. He joined the Pelicans as a front office intern during the 2010-11 season, rising through the ranks, eventually serving as player development director (2011-12), video coordinator/player development coach (2012-14), scouting coordinator (2014-17), director of college scouting (2017-19) and assistant general manager (2019-24).

Dinwiddie joins Atlanta after five seasons with the Philadelphia 76ers as executive vice president, basketball operations (2020-25). Before his stint with the 76ers, Dinwiddie spent 14 seasons with the Indiana Pacers, beginning in 2006 in the inside sales department before moving to basketball operations. He began his career in basketball operations as director of basketball administration (2008-2012) before being elevated to vice president of basketball operations (2012-2017) and then to senior vice president of basketball operations (2017-2020).

The Hawks, who lost to the Magic and Heat in the Play-In Tournament, finished the season with a 40-42 record and did not make the playoffs for a second consecutive season.
