Joe Flint: While new NBA deals with current rights holders ESPN (Disney) & TNT (Warner Discovery) have not been struck as exclusive negotiating window deadline expires, both have strong matching rights should other parties swoop in with big proposed deals, per person the familiar matter. – via Twitter Business, ESPN, NBA, TV Rights Joe Flint: Would add that both TNT and ESPN have made progress in their talks and a scenario that keeps them in the game with a third partner added (Amazon? NBC?) seems likely. – via Twitter

JJ had to play in 65 games to qualify. Too injured.

Two years ago....another offseason: here we go.

Current Hawks Roster Draft slot: Dre - 4th Trae - 5th OO - 6th AJ - 15th Kobe - 16th Bey - 19th JJ - 20th Bogi- 25th CC - 25th Windler- 26th DJ - 29th Bruno - 34th Vit - 37th Gueye - 39th Lundy - 46th Wes - undrafted Garri - undrafted Trent - undrafted

Good show too...catch it when you can.

Yeah, but after awhile it just leaves a big mess to clean up....who needs that.

Has to be the right 'valued' player(s) though.

New Sprite Commercial.

I was just checking the expiration date on the JC TPE ti make sure it would still be available during FAcy. Looks like it expires July 8th. So yes, we can use a portion of the JC TPE in a SnT. The only difficulty is the Hornets will look for compensation to facilitate the deal and since we can't since him out right it'll have to be negotiated. Do we really want to give up a pick, which we don't have many of? Hornets are interested in resigning him and he's also linked to the Pistons who have a ton of capspace.

Goimg off memory and quick calculations - We'd still be over the $141 salary cap. So we'd still have ZERO space under the cap to sign a free agent. We'd only have exceptions.

That too.

He may have a lot of suitors though. Hawks will only have the $12 mil MLE to sign a FA. So fitting in him an Delon might be tough.

Seems low: an oft injured guy who is limited to roughly 15mpg and I definitely don't like the protections on that pick. I'd also take Anthony Black.

The Magic offense . They need a real PG and some shooting.

Here’s where the experts have Ware going: Ricky O’Donnell - SB Nation: (11th overall, Chicago Bulls) Tankathon: (21st overall, New Orleans Pelicans) Fox Sports: (21st overall, New Orleans Pelicans) The Ringer: (19th overall, Atlanta Hawks) Sports Illustrated NBA Draft: (26th overall, Washington Wizards) Bleacher Report: (18th overall, Atlanta Hawks) NBADraft.net: (21st overall, Cleveland Cavaliers) CBSSports: (second round) Most have Ware going past the halfway point of the first round, with CBSSports having him fall out of the top-30 entirely.

Round 1 - Pick 10 Isaiah Collier PG USC • FR • 6'5" / 210 LBS PROJECTED TEAM Atlanta PROSPECT RNK 10th POSITION RNK 4th PPG 16.3 RPG 2.9 APG 4.3 3P% 33.8% There's been too much overcorrection here in the Collier market after he -- and the Trojans -- struggled in his one season with USC. The truth is that he is likely a top-10 talent in this class on paper because of his physical downhill game and finishing ability. He makes a tough style look easy -- the Puka Nacua of guards in this year's draft class. https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/2024-nba-mock-draft-french-stars-alex-sarr-zaccharie-risacher-go-1-2-as-order-takes-shape/

10. Atlanta Hawks: Matas Buzelis Louis Grasse/NBAE via Getty Images Previous Mock Draft Spot: No. 10 Team: G League Ignite Position: SF Size: 6'8", 209 lbs Age/Year: 19 Nationality: American/Lithuanian Pro Comparison: Hedo Türkoğlu Matas Buzelis showcased enough scoring versatility, athleticism and defensive playmaking to maintain a spot in this year's lottery discussion. Inconsistency and disappointing three-point shooting numbers have also affected scouts' confidence. Buzelis should have a legitimate opportunity to improve his stock during workouts, where he can help ease concerns over a 26.1 three-point percentage that everyone expected to be significantly higher out of Sunrise Christian Academy. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10116891-2024-nba-mock-draft-2-round-predictions-with-lottery-odds-set
