2003–04 Atlanta Hawks season


The 2003–04 NBA season was the Hawks' 55th season in the National Basketball Association, and 36th season in Atlanta. During the offseason, the Hawks signed free agent Stephen Jackson, while re-signing Jacque Vaughn after one season with the Orlando Magic. The Hawks continued to struggle as they lost eight of their first eleven games. At midseason, they traded Shareef Abdur-Rahim and Theo Ratliff to the Portland Trail Blazers for All-Star forward Rasheed Wallace. However, Wallace only played just one game for the Hawks before being traded to the Detroit Pistons for Bob Sura, while Dion Glover was released and signed with the Toronto Raptors. Wallace would win a championship with the Pistons as they defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in five games in the NBA Finals. In March, the Hawks signed free agent Jason Collier as they finished seventh in the Central Division with a 28–54 record.
Following the season, head coach Terry Stotts was fired, Jackson was traded to the Indiana Pacers, Jason Terry and longtime Hawks' forward Alan Henderson were both dealt to the Dallas Mavericks, Sura signed as a free agent with the Houston Rockets, and Vaughn signed with the New Jersey Nets.
