The 2003–04 NBA season was the Atlanta 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. The Hawks continued to struggle as they lost seven of their first ten 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, where he would win a championship. 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, Jackson was traded to the Indiana Pacers, Jason Terry and longtime Hawks' forward Alan Henderson were both dealt to the Dallas Mavericks, and Vaughn signed with the New Jersey Nets.
