hawkster911 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 With Kyrie Irving possibly headed out of Cleveland and whatever assets are retrieved from this trade, what is everyone's opinion on where the Cleveland draft pick (top 10 protected) will be for the Hawks? Hawks Pick: #3 Cleveland Pick: #15 Timberwolves Pick: #20 Next years draft is loaded with Centers, and the Hawks will most likely pursue a Center with their first pick.

Popular Post KB21 Posted July 23, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Tap the breaks on this. I think many have overestimated Kyrie's impact on that Cleveland team. He's a good player, but he's not a great player/elite superstar that can carry a team. Think about this. Over the past three years with LeBron on the team, Cleveland's record without LeBron is 4-23. Losing Kyrie Irving is not going to cause this team to go from winning the East to barely making the playoffs. There will likely be very little difference in the Cavaliers team without him. Now, you take LeBron away, and even with Kyrie and Kevin, they aren't a playoff team. Kyrie is not the player many fans believe he is. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB21 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Also, the Hawks don't get the Cavs pick until 2019, and if LeBron leaves after 2018, then the Hawks likely will not get that pick because Cleveland is going to be very bad without LeBron. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hawks will not be that lucky. They will be one of the three worst teams in the league, but they will probably end up with the 5th pick or so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 If LeBron leaves which seems pretty likely the hawks aren't getting that pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not team them with a star and you have a competitive team role players. Klay Thompson and Patrick McCaw are role players for the Warriors, but there is a huge difference in their roles. We got Patrick McCaw type role players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let me understand you clearly..we will have the 3rd worse record because of the 14th and 15th players on the roster...maybe I am obtuse so can you break it down a little better for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe one day he'll be better but he is a 20 year old rookie. He needs minutes and work on his body. 82 games is a grind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will have the 3rd worst record because we have very little veteran presence and got rid of the most consistent parts of this team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is a shooting guard and 4th on the depth chart. What 3rd stringers will be starting for the Hawks? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
