THE YOUTH MOVEMENT PG - Kyle Lowry / Darren Collison SG - Tyreke Evans / Jordan Crawford / Caron Butler SF - Kevin Durant / Dorrell Wright / Chase Buddinger PF - Chris Bosh / Brandon Bass C- Serge Ibaka / Andre Drummond HC - Scott Brooks

With this pick I will be taking a high risk / high reward player in the oft-injured but highly talented: CARON BUTLER As I said High risk, but when healthy, he can give you points, steals, and solid defense...

We at The Youth Movement are excited to add the versatile Wingman CHASE BUDDINGER to our squad... 6'7", athletic, versatile... Welcome to the movement

I'm on it guys, sorry slightly hungover after a night of Collective Soul at the Tabernacle and UFC at my local bar...

That's why I'm saying a 1-yr. deal, I'm not saying he'd take it, but it wouldn't kill our ambition and it would give us a proven talent / bargaining chip in a trade... Teams might want a guy like Lou at the deadline to solidify a 2nd unit...

who else is giving him a deal?Phoenix?C'mon man, on a 1-yr it'd at least be worth the attempt... He's a shooter, he's a scorer... He'd be incentivized to over-perform in a contract season... In a pinch he can play the point for a few mins...Gimme some negatives, I'm not being a homer, I really think the kid has talent, NBA-6th man talent slightly under a Jamal Crawford but certainly better than relying on a green rookie...Thoughts?

Re-unite the Atlanta Celtics AAU Squad...An Atlanta-centric team would be pretty cool, especially since that squad won an AAU National title I believe...

watched him play since he went to South Gwinnett HIgh School; and truthfully since his 7th & 8th grade years... We need to bring him home.

Only 22 picks to go... tick....tock....tick

I thought really hard about Big Baby when I took Brandon Bass...

I pm'd supporter...

I was trying to make it known he was a rookie... :)

The Youth Movement are STUNNED to find such a talent with this pick and are ecstatic to bring the Former LSU-tiger/SEC Player of the Year: PF - BRANDON BASS The Youth Movement: PG - Kyle Lowry / Darren Collison SG - Tyreke Evans / Jordan Crawford SF - Kevin Durant / Dorrell Wright PF - Chris Bosh / Brandon Bass C - Serge Ibaka / Andre Drummond ® HC - Scott Brooks

The Youth Movement needs a leader and seeing how 2/5th's of our starters already play for him we see SCOTT BROOKS as the natural choice to be our head coach...

[*]I am a season ticket holder and I would renew now even without Howard... [*]I believe that Atlanta is NBA-relevant now and no longer a ghost town [*]Danny Ferry is the man... Can't believe I'm saying that about a Dookie.

I call it... The RESET Button...

My head is still spinning, I need a few minutes to digest the day and all that it encompasses for the future of my beloved Atlanta Hawks... Am I dreaming? Not only did we not have to "Amnesty Clause" Joe Johnson and that ridiculous contract... We got Devin Harris for Marvin "BUST" Williams? I'm dreaming... This can NOT be real. :O:O:O

You said it... We don't trade a horrid contract for another horrid contract...

- Why?

Everyone here is forgetting the fact(s) that:A. JOE JOHNSON IS THIRTY-ONE YEARS OLDB. JOE JOHNSON IS IN RAPID DECLINEC. JOE JOHNSON HAS ESCALATORS IN HIS CONTRACTD. JOE JOHNSON IS NOT A MAX-CONTRACT PLAYER, WHO HAPPENS TO HAVE A MAX-CONTRACT.- We aren't getting value for Joe, but Joe isn't valuable AT ALL past this season, as a matter of fact, only an owner like Prokorhov can afford the tax-hit by having a potential mega-team (D-Will, JJ, D12) because the new CBA is tiered; dollar-for-dollar and going up in %'s with every dollar over the luxury tax.LET HIM GO AND START FRESH BUILDING AROUND HORFORD!!!

I see the pick as a reach... It hurt me to watch the Celtics take Sullinger AND Fab Melo right in front of us, but for us to also have a shot at Perry Jones III ( the #10 overall prospect in the draft, gimpy knee and all...) and pass it over is disappointing. Jenkins at #23 is not something I'd thought of recently... I hope I'm wrong but man...On a side note...The Thunder just got that much better tonight, I mean wow... Ibaka, Durant, Harden, Westbrook, PJ3... Athletes EVERYWHERE.

With the 1st pick of the 9th round... We at THE YOUTH MOVEMENT are again ecstatic to add some amazing depth to our squad in the form of Point Guard (and returning member to my squad) DARREN COLLISON PG - Kyle Lowry / Darren Collison SG - Tyreke Evans / Jordan Crawford SF - Kevin Durant / Dorrell Wright PF - Chris Bosh C - Serge Ibaka / Andre Drummond

With the last pick in the 8th round we at THE YOUTH MOVEMENT are ecstatic to add swingman DORRELL WRIGHT At 6'9"and with a decent career average from 3, Wright is just the player we need to provide a spark off of the bench with our 2nd unit. Welcome DW to the Movement!!!

THis pick is stupid...

Man... I'd be praising Ferry is we could someway move Joe & Josh... Moving Joe to Charlotte would be awesome; I just don't see it happening, but if it could...I'd love to somehow be the biggest player in this draft; make ATL relevant again!
