Hoping the pick just conveys this year so we can stop worrying about it. I get the argument about it being a weak draft, but getting the #15/16 pick is probably the best case outcome when those protections were announced. Y'all really want to risk waiting until next year for the small chance it conveys at 13/14 or 11/12/13/14 the next year? Sacramento is one injury to Fox or Sabonis away from sucking in a stacked Western conference. Just get the pick now

I don’t think BI has played at all in the 4th of this play-in game. Zion is out hurt too and BI is still riding the bench. Yikes.

Was going to say Treadmill bc we’re in the play-in year after year after year…but it’s worse than that. I looked at our record and we’ve gone from 43 wins to 41 to now 36 wins over the past 3 seasons. This team is literally regressing. But I guess that’s what happens when you turn key players into picks that aren’t transferring and cap space. REGRESSION

Going on record for how much I hate the NBA for not letting ATL get either Dwight or Ant in the lottery.

Good write up. Admittedly, I haven’t watched much college basketball this year. But I’ll watch his tournament games for sure now.

Draft: Sarr FA: DeRozan Trade: Lauri (DJM and OO, out) Trae, DeRozan, JJ, Lauri, Sarr

Get Mo G. healthy and down there too and this will be must-see tv as a Hawks fan.

HawkSquawk favorite to the Heat:

Idk man....not sure he'll still be there when we finally pick late in the 2nd round

I have 0 issue with us keeping DJM if the value wasn't there...none. My issue is this middle of the road path we continue to be on by: 1) Not brining in guys to improve the roster 2) Actively trading away guys to avoid LT consequences So here at the deadline, we don't do anything to get better. But we also don't do anything to get worse. Okay...so we're stuck in this middle of the road purgatory in the last year of us controlling our own FRP. Just my 2 cents...

Murphy + Jones + figure out how to reroute Claxton to us from BKN and I'd consider...maybe...DJM and OO. Maybe...

Delusion.

Grimes is gone. Should kill that DJM to NY bs trade we keep hearing about.

Gonna go out on a limb and say there's a negative chance of us trading OO unless we have a plan locked in for our Center of the future.

Well we’re 22-29 so maybe that’s not a bad thing.

Tried to tell y’all about Porzingis over the summer.

Would solve all of our defensive issues over night lol

Grizz have traded Adams and Tillman. Seems like they might need a Center now?

I hear ya. It’s just frustrating to hear we might be “buyers” now when 2 guys who would’ve fit perfectly with Trae were right there for the taking and we didn’t jump…or didn’t jump hard enough.

This isn’t true though. DJM wanted to be here and we also got the biggest name coach on the market here.

It’s an unknown for sure. But I don’t think he would have been unwilling since it meant getting out of a Washington rebuild. He’s not KD. He doesn’t just get to pick where he wants to go.

Huh? This was the trade for Porzingis to Boston before the Brogdon injury blew it up. We could have beat this in our sleep.

We definitely had the assets to get KP who’s playing like an allstar and would have fixed a lot of our front court issues. I think we could have beat this for OG: - RJ Barrett -Immanuel Quickley - 2024 second-round draft pick (via Detroit)
