    No clue what they'd offer besides future draft picks. But it was Woj who said it on ESPN today. There's a video of him talking about it on twitter.

    What is Dallas offering to move up? Unless it's something like their 2019 top 1 protected 1st, 2020 unprotected 1st - i just don't see how it happens. They have nothing else of value on their roster besides DSJr.

    Looks like we are getting Doncic so lets all be happy.

    I need to just shut myself out of the draft talk until it actually happens. Seeing stuff like this now is only going to make it worse when Sacramento takes him or we pass on him. Although rumors now are that Dallas wants to move up and grab him.

    I really want Doncic!  The dude just makes everyone around him better.  A SG with his size and passing ability allows for a lot of options 

    I'm right there with you and all in on Luka! Dude can play PG, SG, or SF. Just an elite passer and knock-down shooter. Will make everyone better.

    New rumor out today that we're souring on JJJ and have him labeled as "soft' and would scoop up Luka if he's there at 3. The draft can't get here soon enough! 

     

    Good, the franchise is in good hands then. Just don't draft Trae Young #3 and I'll be cool on draft night.

    If Ayton and Luka are gone 1 & 2, I would love a trade back to get Young. I think the fall off in talent after those two guys is pretty noticeable whereas there's not a huge difference between 3 - 8.  Young excites me the most outside of those two.

    I was reading on the AJC last night that even if the Minnesota pick doesn't transfer this year it could still transfer during the next 2 seasons. Makes me feel a little better about our current situation..

     

    But I fully expect an ATL win tonight and a Denver win tomorrow night. Just the luck ATL sports has been having lately.

  10. What should we do with Dedmon Now??

    I’d have him come off the bench behind Bumlee to limit wins then try to re-sign him, clearly communicating he’s the starter going forward. Perfect C for the Hawks, y’all laughed before the season when I said he’d nearly average a double-double. That frees up Schlenkholzer to draft Doncicci. If he doesn’t re-sign, then target Ayton...

    The way we're headed recently, Doncic is gonna be long gone by the time we pick.

  12. The trade deadline is Here.

    If that was the case, teams would be lining up to trade with us, so far we only made one trash of a trade.

    I'm assuming teams think we are going to buy some of these players out and can just get them without giving up any assets? I thought I saw someone post earlier about us buying a few of these vets out

    We'll see what happens during the next few days before the deadline, but if any of these vets aren't traded and we keep the status quo - I have a theory that maybe Travis is scared to get a top 3 pick. 

    A lot of pressure to get the top picks right, especially for a 1st year GM. And right now I think you can say there are 3 or 4 guys who could realistically be that top pick. If you swing and miss and your guy is a bust or not as good as the guys taken immediately after, your job as GM is on the line. 

    A lot less pressure picking 4-8 compared to 1-3. Especially when there isn't 1 or 2 stand out prospects.

    Sounds like some of y'all would trade all of our vets for a 2nd round pick just to get a shot at your favorite player in this upcoming draft. Lurker would just cut Dennis. Now lurker admits she was wrong about Howard after he was given away last off season. How many Lurkers will we have on this message board next year after Baze, Schröder and Dedmon blow up on another team if they are given away like Howard?

    Players like Baze, Dedmon, Ersan, and Belli are great...but they’re great if you’re a contender/championship caliber team. Which we’re years away from becoming.

    I wish we had them on our 60 win team. Maybe we would have made it past Cleveland. But for this team as currently constructed, they’re just hurting our chances at obtaining that potential start player we need and covet. We aren’t winning a championship with a team full of Bazes and Ersans. 

     

    Trade them. Get what you can. And don’t screw up this tank.

  22. Postion Predictions from 1- 15 in the East Hawks Are...

    in Homecourt

    Posted

    I'm all for being optimistic but I just don't see the talent on this roster to compete for a playoff spot. Dennis is a good player, but besides him who do we have? Prince, Bembry, and Collins will be solid (maybe even all stars in a couple years) but do I think they're gonna win 30 - 40 games for us this year? No. I think we're lucky to win 20 games. I'll gladly eat crow if I'm wrong. 

    Nonetheless, we have an exciting young team that is going to be a blast to watch this year and in the upcoming years. Couple that with a potential top 3 pick this year and I think we're sitting pretty for years to come - just not this year.
