They have to be sold. It was in Paul Allen's will that they be sold, but there was no timeline set for it. It would have been disastrous to have set one.
There was a penalty as part of the stadium construction agreement if the Hawks were sold prior to 2025, that the Hawks would have to pay a large fee to the state. It was deemed prudent management of his estate to wait at least until that date passes before selling.
