You problem is you think all drafts and front offices are equal.

Not to mention we don’t even need 1. We just need to get into 1-6 range for next class

Not to mention you act like I said we need to string multiple years of tanking together? I said we need to maximize our odds of being bad for a ONE year to land a top pick to add to this core. Not keep Murray around to be the 12th best team if yoy want to try your luck drafting franchise talent 8-14 every year go for it. That is not realistic. Picks 1-3 maximize those chances Sarr is not a franchise guy. He is NOT the player you build around. He is a player you build WITH

This example is an anomaly not the standard. You don’t draft franchise players in the secodn round or 13th overall

Go look at the best players in the league and history. More often than not they are top 1-3 picks. If you think you’re just gonna luck into drafting the best players at a random spot in the draft then idk what to tell you. The hawks aren’t just gonna be competitive next year and land the best player in the class at pick 12 or whatever. But if they are bad and developing young players then add Flagg or whoever at the mix 1-3 they have a better chance at being good this is inherently truly and if you are saying otherwise you just are lying. Nobody is saying we need to actively be losing games for a string of years. We have our core what we just need is someone to be that guy and if the hawks trade for our picks back getting it in a loaded 25 and 26 draft class is much more possible with better odds 1-8 then being a play in team or luck into the 8th spot

They drafted their best player in the second round. Good luck using that philosophy for team building

Name a team that has won a championship being competitive. Just constantly in the 10-17ish range. It doesn’t exist you’re gonna say the bucks but just like the warriors who you say lucked into curry, they lucked into Giannis For an extended period of time absolutely not. For one year he could get behind it

Wait till you realize what the warriors did before they were a dynasty. Or what the spurs did to land Duncan. [insult removed]

The same thing would happen with the hawks I don’t get how y’all do understand. They would be playing Quin ball with jalen and sarr at the forefront. Not watching Murray jack 25 shots a game and not be a high level playmaker while simultaneously take minutes from Kobe and any other guard and make them the 7th seed. There youngins will play and learn but lose that’s how it ALWAYS works [insult removed] The jokics of the world are anomaly’s. You need top picks

Where their pick lands doesn’t define what they were doing. Hawks landed 1 we didn’t tank. We had 3,6,and 8 in years we actually tanked. Pick placement means nothing but good spin just like I said you would. Not to mention nobody has to tank for 5-6 years when you already have most of your core. You literally have no idea what “tanking” is. You play your young guys a ton of minutes, naturally they lose and you have a chance of adding high level talent. The process worked to do that. Hawks turned a roster with Dwight Howard as their best player to Trae young. Sixers turned a roster with nobody to embiid. The point is churning your roster to add high level talent. Every team that’s tanked as done that. You have to add the *right* talent if you want to win the chip. There is no one right way to win a championship. There is a guaranteed wrong way and that’s staying in the middle just like you want

Yup tell that to OKC. You don’t have a single clue what tanking is or what it’s for Organic to the fact they intentionally wanted to be bad. But you’ll spin this convo however you want just like you did with edeys good numbers at the combine.

I can’t believe what you guys are saying. Let’s keep Murray to be the 10th worst team in the league vs trading him to open up guard minutes and improve their odds for cooper Flagg or Dylan Harper. Laughably bad takes on the squalk today. You guys would rather be the Utah Jazz rn than follow OKC. Logging off

Guess Trae didn’t develop while we were losing games! The spurs legit tanked they didn’t sign a POINT GUARD to give their superstar even decent guard play all season. They INTENTIONALLY LOST GAMES.

Do you think wemby isn’t developing on a bottom team rn? Your coaching staff and environment is what’s important to development not the win loss. You know why the pistons suck? Because they have awful coaches and front office. you know why okc is good despite being bottom feeder in recent szns? because they hired the right coach to develop their players. Intentionally keeping Murray to hurt your odds and take away minutes from your young guys is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. As long as Quin and staff are there the players would develop

This option is horrible lol. By far the worst option. Being competitive with a Murray team and your pick means like the 10 best odds again. Help*

These type of calls don’t happen over the phone lol. He’s communicated to them he wants time to review situation with his agency unsourced commentary here. I think it’s highly likely he tells them to get them he’ll in the interim until sarr develops them into a legit contender Funny enough I think that path is most likely the one trae wants or chooses

Not saying it as horrible path. It’s a fine one but relatively speaking it’s the worst. Pick a side of going all in or rebuilding don’t try to play both sides

By no means am I trying to step on anything any of the other insiders have said. Different people hear different things from different sources. That being said, Trae has made no decision yet and has not even met with the FO from a direct Hawks source. The FO was at the lottery/combine this week there is no where for him to meet them lol. He much like everybody else was caught off guard with us jumping in the lottery. He’s asked the front office for some time to review the situation with his new agency and they will go from there.

If you can get Giannis you get giannis. If you can rebuild you rebuild. Path 2 is easily the worst

That’s not what the numbers say at his size but ok

I don’t even like edey but saying he didn’t have a good day is laughable. No need to push this agenda when we were never taking him and now absolutely won’t even sniff him he has a very good day showing off his mobility and touch at that size.

there is your aggregation

He is an aggregator. He shares reports on twitter from all national reporters. Its literally in all his tweets about anything. He may also cover a team or the league but that isn't what he does on twitter. His twitter is just resharing content from other people

He is 100% an aggregator lol. He links the content he pulls from all the time. He has recently been engagement farming by not posting the sourced stuff at all. Twitter is my base. that guy is not an insider or anything and everybody knows it. He even acknowledged it at one point last year

Doesn’t matter lol. Quin wants to win now
