Oh I want Doncic more than anyone in the draft. However @KB21 said that he wasn't a top 3 player in the draft. I think Doncic at worst is a 6'8" Ricky Rubio he just has a super high IQ on the court. On his topside I could see a better Gordon Hayward.

They also say Ayton has the highest Ceiling of anyone in the draft.

See you saw a winning culture I saw a mediocre culture who never took risks who when the stars aligned we got swept by a team who was without 2 all stars. And don't bring up Korver and Carroll were out we weren't beating them or Golden State for that matter. Derrick Favors is a guy I like and a hometown guy, however he has said on multiple occasions he doesn't want to play center so unless you want to play him and collins at center together I don't really see the fit.

In no way would ownership pay Sap 90 million to see his numbers decline from age. Howard is a solid piece not for 20+ million and how do you get better from there with no cap space. we would be stuck for 3 years with a 30+ year old PF making 35 million and Dwight at 30+ making just under 30mil. That sound good to you?

yes I'd say finding 2 hall of fame players outside the top 10 in drafts that close together one of the luckier things of all time. Most would agree they are both top 30 all time at least and could argue top 20. The odds are obviously higher of nailing a pick if you are drafting higher not anywhere close to a lock but higher for sure. Besides what would you have liked the hawks to have done this past offseason sign Millsap and go way over the cap? (Not that Ressler would have done it and don't blame him)

Gotcha so get super lucky is your strategy. It has be done twice in 30+ years

1 and if you think that is repeatable you don't really know the NBA.

I'm not saying they wouldn't be better. The team was barely a playoff team last year what makes you think that we were locks this year if Millsap was back? We maybe competing with Detroit right now

Even that team would be a borderline mediocre playoff team. Trading our draft assets maybe the stupidest thing I've heard since I have been here.

WHAT Dennis Schröder is a bottom 5 starting PG and Tuarean is a well below average starting SF

so pay 90 million to have a guy mentor someone wooooo! You really think Paul makes this a playoff team we had a negative plus minus last year! And trade away the few assets we have I'm done with you.

You have explained this several times. But instead of rebuilding what was the path to be as good as last year even? I'm tired of listening to you say you know more than the whole fan base and the GM

The hawks in their existence have never been an honest championship contender. so take 20 years if thats what it takes to win a championship. AND the only person I see worried about the time frame is you.

Thank you. Obviously it is ideal to stay relevant however what moves could we have made to both brighten our future and continue to compete?

Well no one has ever done what you are saying so that makes no sense.

Okay everyone else would thats the difference. You would rather live in mediocrity than have a chance at a title even if it means sacrificing a few years

So you wouldn't give up 10 years to bring the first title to Atlanta since 1996? He really Isn't saying that because you can contend before that.

Yes it does just not in the time frame that makes you happy.

Draymond has LED his team to 0

Explain it then!

So yes it is a sore subject. No one saw a path to success after losing Al except restart.

Well no one cares what you think or agrees that is a path to a title.

who has ever won a championship 4-5 years into having their star? I don't know what you wanted the hawks to do this past offseason and unless you give me specific moves I'm not taking you seriously.

After we missed on Al I figured a rebuild was coming

I 100% agree if we sign Al that offseason allows us to deal millsap for assets and build a core to complement Al as a PF.
