That same day, the Hawks traded small forward [[Marvin Williams]] to the [[Utah Jazz]] for point guard [[Devin Harris]].

On July 10, 2012, the Hawks signed guard Lou Williams.

On February 21, 2013, the Hawks traded Morrow to the [[Dallas Mavericks]] for [[Dahntay Jones]]. That same day, the Hawks traded a future 2nd-round pick to the [[Golden State Warriors]] in exchange for [[Jeremy Tyler]], who was waived 15 days later.

The Hawks ended the 2012–13 season with a 44–38 record, making a playoff appearance for the sixth straight season. However, they were eliminated by the [[Indiana Pacers]] in six games in the first round. By the end of the off-season, every player involved in the Johnson and Williams trades just a year earlier were either waived or not brought back. The 2013 free agency period also marked the end of the [[Josh Smith]] era for Atlanta as he signed a contract with the [[Detroit Pistons]]. Longtime Hawk [[Zaza Pachulia]] moved on as well and signed with the [[Milwaukee Bucks]]. With half the roster gone, 2012–13 proved to be a roster turnover year, paving a path to success for Mike Budenholzer.
