Exactly.

I think I've finally recovered after my initial dissapointment last night. In the light of a new day I guess it's not all a dumpster fire. Travis better be right. (I still question his negotiation skills). When reports surfaced that the initial trade might be #3 and Bazemore for #5 and Wes Matthews to get out of Baze's contract next year (Dallas backed out from that one thank God), I was livid, I couldn't see straight......I just couldn't see beyond that, then I heard it was a 1st instead but top 5 protected, still disappointment there, the protection should have been top 2. Compounded by the reported #19 and Baze for #23 rumor - I did not enjoy the draft. These were also my issue: - The guy touted as 'the next so and so' never turns out to be that guy. It's always some other random guy setting a standard to have everybody saying 'who's the next'.- it just seems like Schlenk had tunnel vision in trying to recreate the Warriors that has me concerned. Anyway...Welcome to Atlanta Trae.

Wat was the Chi offer?

We have two pick watches next season so twice the work..... Mavs and Cavs.

Just a reminder.... ...no Summer league for Huerter.

Based on Schlenk saying they're taking best available player and we're keeping the pick unless its a great return, Koonin saying we're going to be agressive, Schlenk saying 'I don't have a problem having 4 rookies on the roster' yet trading #34 for future picks. The rumors about wanting to trade #3 and Baze for #5 and Wes Matthews, the rumor of #19 and Baze for #23. Schkenk just does not come across as an effective negotiator - he gets a big fat F from me. The players themselves - B on offense, D on defense.

True, but I wanna at least feel you get step 1 right. This doesn't feel like it. I pray that I'm wrong.

This, this and more this.

I guess that's better than cash considerations. Probably the 2nds that Charlotte got via BKN for Dwight?

Hawks still penny pinching no matter who the owners are.

I hope so to. I just have a bad feeling. At least next season, the Dallas pick watch thread and the Cavs pick watch thread will be entertaining.

Wouldn't be a Hawks draft with Cash Considerstions showing up. Smh.

I'm concerned about Schlenk's negotiating skills based on the the return for #3.

What are we getting? Cash considerations?

I feel like I did at the trade deadline....disappointed. I'm ready for Summer League.

Piggly Wiggly Warriors!

How do we draft 'star' players if not in the lottery. Prince wasn't our own Lottery pick. Trade., our own pick that year was #23.

Uummm...we haven't drafted in the lottery in 10 years.

Hawks are always imitators and miss the mark...first Detroit, then Spurs East, now Warriors very light. Why can't we get our own Schtick? Sigh.

Charlotte and Clips traded 11 and 12.

We got a #12 pick for Teague while Dennis was on the team.
