    Are you really depressed? I've accepted our faith that this team is in lottery team and just want the boys to play hard, get better each game and give their best effort

    Yep I am.....that 60 win season seems like it was 10 years ago....being a middle of the pack and now back of the pack team with a STAR at point guard and really nothing else is not good for my fandom.

    Listen guys. Who do we get at center position who is better than Drummond ?
     

    I mean seriously. There isn’t a better center prospect in the draft nor free agency. 

    Imagine being able to add him and we start winning games. Now we could likely resign him and now have gotten an All Star center for pennies. 
     

    If we don’t resign him, we have gave up literally nothing for him.

    I don’t get this fetish with hoarding draft picks. Trae, JC, Huerter, Cam, and DeAndre are all under 24.
     

    We’ve got plenty of young talent 🗣🗣🗣
     

    So again..who do we get that’s better than Drummond and how ?

    Good post!

    The Hawks should be using their 1st round picks to trade for talent, not hope to keep drafting in the late lottery or mid 1st rounds, hoping to find talent.

    You play the Lottery to find a potential Hall of Fame talent. We got very lucky and found on our very first trip into the Lottery.  And we already have his 2nd option compliment, who exhibits All-Star potential.

    It is now time to start stacking this team with vets, even marginal vets, that know how to play the game.  That way, in 2021 when the "big dogs" become available, you can sell to them that you have:

    • A top 15 player in the league in Young, that possibly has Hall of Fame potential, and will get you the ball
    • A top 25 player in the league in Collins, that has All-Star potential
    • A top 30 player in ( Drummond ), that also has All-Star potential
    • Good complimentary young talent that can be key cogs off the bench, or solid starters

    That way, when you try to sell yourself to a player like a Giannis or an Olidipo, you can legit say that THEY may be the final piece to a championship caliber team in Atlanta.

    Current . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Future

    PG - Young . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Young

    G - Huerter . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Olidipo

    F - Hunter . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Giannis / Kawhi . . . . . ( only 1 of the 2 may be available )

    PF - Collins . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Collins

    C - Bruno/Len/Jones . . . . . .  Davis / Drummond . . . . . ( Drummond will be far easier to trade for, than to sign in free agency )

     

    * NOTE: Only 2 of the 5 guys in red could be added to the team in 2021. More than likely, only 1 will be added.

     

    All of this talk about not rushing the process is unfounded.  If you're content to keep the team young, you're much more likely to end up still terrible like the Phoenix Suns or Sacramento Kings in year 4 - 6, than if you actually try to acquire elite talent to put around your superstar.
