Mikal Bridges is the pick. 

I'm already prepping for Jaren Jackson being our pick. Serge Ibaka clone. Same ole Hawks.

We're the worst franchise in the NBA.

Hawks coaches and management. 

Management?  What did management do?  Didn't management buy out a bunch of players...Didn't management shut down our 2 best players?  Doesn't management have Blumlee, Cavanaugh and a bunch of G-league call ups on the team???  WTF were they suppose to do differently???

Ugh, I see our draft slipping (5 guys and then a different tier) while losing our Minny pick

Ayton,Bagley,Doncic, Porter,Bamba,JJJ. THats my top 6 guys in no particular order.. We should still land one .. Id be ok with either..It is what it is................

You really think that how it works?

Of course not but I’ve seen crazier from an NBA executive (Phil).  Again, this situation is weird as hell with Bud making Schlebk’s job a lot harder this summer.

There are five guys I want. Bagley III, Ayton, Doncic, Bamba and Porter Jr. I am fine with one of them. That's all.

JJJ is miles below those other prospects.

JJJ might fit well with Collins....As he can stretch the floor..

Clearly.  We have no idea what Schlenk’s board looks like but I trust him so far.  This is a very weird situation though.  Could a GM call down and demand substitutions from his coach?  Especially one as stubborn as Bud? 

Their guy is obviously somewhere in the 5-10 range, or these last 2 wins wouldn’t have happened. Is Dennis gone now that felony charges have been levied and Sexton is the pick?

I completely agree. That said, there are five guys I want. I hope we land one of them.

So why not chill on blaming Schlenk...Dude made his intentions crystal clear but he gets it from both sides...Gets it from the anti-tankers non stop for having a poor roster and now from the Tankers..  Give that dude a break!!!

He is Ibaka which is not bad.... not worth tanking a year for.

We'll still get a top 5 pick..crossing fingers....But JJJ isnt that bad of a consolation prize..lol

I agree, but too late now..That was a bad win(loss)

Schlenk might actually believe that TRey Young is the next Curry............Never know...

I rather gamble on Young/Sexton than JJJ.

Depends on the DEnnis situation I guess........

Collins isn't someone you built a franchise around. Neither is JJJ. Both are players who will have us in Detriot land in five years.

I rather take Mikal Bridges but trade back to do it. DAMNIT!

Love Mikal. JJJ is a better shooter than either big in Detroit I don't see the comparison he will be around Myles Turner level an NBA player + but never a star.
