I can see a scenario where Hawks take Sarr, Wiz takes Zacc...then depending on who the Rockets take will determine the next moves. If Clingan is the Houston pick, Hawks keep Sarr, if it's Reed....the follow up deals would be as follows:

Hawks trade #1 Sarr to Wiz for #Zacc plus a future 1st that has to convey

Hawks then trade Zacc to SAS for #4 (Clingan) and #8.

That is how you maximize #1 if you aren't keeping it.

Let me repeat: I'm very UNCOMFORTABLE  trading with the Spurs, again!

Great post. 
Reed fits what HOU needs - feel pretty confident they will take him so IMO, the talk of #4 and AJ for #3 is bag GMing. And still agree to just keep Sarr if HOU somehow takes Clingan.

HA! Micro dosing is for wusses. We been eatin da whole mushroom since 82 and we are fine! 

He doesn't micro??? He macro's all the way to 2025 on a regular basis. There's a reason he keeps taking that event at the Outsiders Ball. 

You are correct though - Micro dosing IS for wusses.

I had to google it so I feel like I lost cool points. 

Well, you feel that way because you did. Just watch some highlights of Mr. Mays himself and you'll scoop those points right back up.

And also, a prominent baller's son will start games for a west coast team ... but not the one you think.

Ha!

I read this hearing the voice of Eric Mays. That's real good.

As promised, posting from 2025 today so ask me anything.

Will Zak Edey name his first born after @KB21? 

Will Clingan be the other father?

Can't be worse that Cerner.....

Truth. 

I have to use Cerner for some of my cases and yes, it has issues all the time.

then 4 and AJ for 3

that is unnecessary. Just take BPA at 4. AJ will get another opportunity if Dre goes out in the NOLA deal.

Josh with CP would have been something.  Either an unstoppable lob threat or Paul screaming at him on the bench every night. 

d*ck Vitale made a statement just before our pick that he felt ATL should take CP to pair him with the athletes Hawks had, namely JSmoove.

Our biggest issue is the center spot for production and POA defense. 

Both players mentioned solves both issues. This is obviously a question of preference because the two players mention solve things for the Hawks if that's the direction they want to go in. 

Risacher is not a C and he is not a POA defender. 

Clingan is not a POA defender. 

These are not questions of personal preference. 

What's obvious, is that Risacher is not a C.

I would quit as a Hawks fan. This would effectively end my 39 year run. 
 

I just… no. We can’t. 

This is how I feel. 

I can't stand the Resslers.... bird-ass-lookin' family.

EXACTLY!

They are overthinking it.

Travis knows he can take advantage of this group clown parade.

If we can get Risacher and Clingan out of this draft we solve two issues with the roster.

seems like they add two players to the roster, but don't solve issues. 

Our biggest issues are perimeter / POA defense. 

Risacher provides MORE scoring -- something that's not an issue. 
Clingan provides MORE screening and rebounding -- Clint already does that. 

I feel my fandom dying with this brass.

I think every thread on the squawk has this dude's name spelled wrong.

Giannis will be 30 this year

and his game is mostly based on athleticism / physicality. 

You make good points.

In that scenario, we would have a starting lineup of:

Trae

Bogi

Hunter

Giannis

OO

The #1 pick would be going to Milwaukee so no Sarr in that situation.

We'd still have DJ to trade for better fits elsewhere.

Also, a trade with the Spurs requires us taking salary back and they have a bunch of low salary players other than Vassell and Johnson.  So what would that look like?

I'd want Sochan back in any deal with them.

No one is safe also means him celebrating #1 also means he's celebrating another of his teammates getting the boot. 

Just to play devils advocate some more to the freak out crew lol. 

He very well may just be "#1 is cool, but it also means Clint goes toodaloo and I don't want to celebrate that"

Your posts have been so refreshing throughout these insane past 24 hours. Appreciate your voice of reason. I hope you've helped some people calm down. Which is insane that I'm even saying that after we just landed our first ever #1 pick.

I'll rather trade the pick 

you have no pick to trade if you're in the process of being eliminated from the playoffs.  Sounds like you prefer being on the treadmill than planning for a title. 

"Draft Clingan so we will at least be in the playoffs next year"

That means nothing to a lot of us.

I'd rather have Sarr

Lmao, what? Clingan is already better than Kessler as a prospect and if Kessler was on this team with Trae, we would be in the playoffs and maybe still playing

you can laugh all you want supes. They say there's no better medicine. 

I've had my share of laughs today... I'm starting to feel selfish.

I like Sarr here.  Highest potential.  Sure he could bust but Clingan just isn't ever going to be more than an above average player.  Can't shoot at all so we won't be able to space the floor either.  No thanks.

To me, Clingan has a floor of bust and a ceiling of role player. I want no part in him. 

Just sign Alex Len if you want a big stiff.
