I take no issue with the idea of trading down but with that comes what the additional compensation for doing so is and how far back is the trade. It will more than likely be a future 1st round pick.

Not interested unless they are sending us Simmons. Orlando is the perfect trade partner for them. Fultz and #10 for #6.

Luca Doncic. Luca Doncic on offense, Mo Bamba on defense.

I don't watch enough college ball for this. I just want 'THE' guy that will move us in the right direction. All these players have strengths and definitely weakness they need to work on. There are no LBJs in this draft - what we need us for who ever we pick to exceed expections and make those around him better.

Happy Father's Day Squawkers!!!

I'm not overly impressed with Schlenk so far but I'm not writing him off since he'sbeen at it for 1 year. I was disappointed we weren't able to make any trades for 1sts at the deadline but I'd rather he passes on deals that brought back bad money for 2nd round picks, like the Bayless and a 2nd for Beli. Why eat into our capspace by $9 mil for a 2nd when if you need a 2nd you can buy one for $3 mil. Sometimes the best trades are no trades. Same with Illyasova. Was Dedmon even on the trade block? I've already said I'm giving more credit to BudCox and the scout team for Collins and Dorsey. Schlenk wasn't scouting high picks and he said so. Collins was already on the Hawks radar prior to Schlenk. Does anyone know if our scouting department has changed or stayed intact? I don't like how the whole Bud thing ended up with the Hawks still paying his entire salary. This offseason is important, not only the draft but FAcy as well - I'll be watching

Our good friend Brad And this guy...

I love this draft but I'm not banking on every selection we make to be 'something' at the expense of two young players in TP and Collins who I know are NBA players

Bender and Chriss

Not put all my eggs in the proverbial one basket of this 2018 draft. Take pick #3 - one of Luca, Bamba or Bagley Trade for Faried and #14. Combine picks #14 and #19 to move up to #10 - select who ever the target is. Or make your selection at #14, then #19. Pick #30 and #34.

Stop it!! Don't be extra.

Who's missing?

This is where I worry about the Hawks trying to ne too cute witb the pick.

I don't think LAL has the player but what they do have is Magic and banners. Atlanta is a great NBA town, just not a Hawks town. I asked my BIL who was born and raised in Atlanta why he doesn't root for the Hawks - said it sucked being teased at school for being a Hawks fan because they invariably witll disappoint.

Hopefully by 2021 when this happens each team has their own GL team.

Getting there. Every team needs their own affiliate.

He said the same thing about being aggressive at the trade deadline. Love me some StevieK but he's a salesman and a very good one at that.

To AHFs point context matters, teammates, coaches, age, position they play etc.

Is there away to block a thread, like you can block a poster? . You guys aren't saying anything new and won't change each other's minds, but have at it....I got my popcorn ready.

I'm not going down KB's rabbit hole ever.

I'll always enjoy watching my Hawks - win, lose or draw.
