Hawks are confident that if the draft ended today, they would be able to make their selection. 2. I figured this was the case and I was right, while Issac Okoro is high on the Hawks board, he's not top 3 high for us. In fact, we think he's a 6-10 range pick. This is why directs matter more than the marker chatter. 3. Hawks #1 player is Edwards. Hawks are very high on two player outside of Edwards. Obi Toppin and LAMELO BALL, Yes, LaMelo. I am not sure if this is real hype but I was told these two are 1/2/3 for the Hawks. 4. The biggest shock I got was Tyrese Haliburton was #4 on the Hawks big board over Okoro who I thought was a clear #2 based on previous conversations. It's clear, Golden State isn't the only team drinking the kool aid on Haliburton. People really really like his tape and love his analytics. He said, Haliburton is a can't miss role player with potential to be more down the road. 5. Hawks really like Deni A, Okoro, and Wiseman but have questions with all three to the point that they would take them but not so high. With Deni, they have questions about his position and many thinks he doesn't have one but is good enough to be a Swiss knife. Okoro, offensive polish and shooting. Wiseman, modern fit and shooting. Hawks tend to be higher on their upside than most outside of Wiseman where's it's parallel. 6. He was told that FA will impact the Hawks decision and who's available and for what cost. 7. Hawks have interest in Devin Vassell, Poku, and Cole Anthony as well. The Hawks are not as high at this stage on Hayes as they were in May. Travis really likes Cole Anthony is what he was told. 8. He was told the Hawks have interest in a PG, a sharpshooter and SF and thinks the depth of those positions is making them consider two 2nd rounders. He was told the Hawks are going to be major players in the buying a 2nd round pick train. He was told the Hawks want to really build up the G-League team this upcoming season. The names he heard was: Killian Tillie Grant Riller Sam Merrill Malachi Flynn Payton Pritchard Tyler Bey Cassius Winston Devon Dotson Desmond Bane Tres Tickle Corey Kispert Robert Woodard 9. The last four things he mentioned was more than ever, guys who entered last year will have an edge on the guys this year because the Hawks have eye tape and game-tape to see where those players improved. I was told this is why Atlanta is sky-high on Toppin. 10. He was told the Hawks want to be players in 2021 in the chance for Giannis and want to have the assets in place to trade for a major piece at some point to build a contender around Trae Young and maybe Cam Reddish or John Collins. The only for sure thing right now is Young but they are sky-high on Reddish as well. 11. The Hawks want another sharp but minutes will be everything. I was told the Hawks really want Joe Harris and they could target Buddy Hield. 12. He said the Hawks will target a lot of FAs but most of these players will be looking for short term deals and minutes. Atlanta doesn't have a lot of minutes. He also was told Atlanta will be bargain hunting and willing to overpay as well. 13. What I didn't hear from him was PG interest. No Melton, Dunn, Napier talk. He didn't mention us and serious trade interest. He did mention the Hawks want to build up their G-League, I think I mentioned that earlier though. He said that's the big focus. They really want to use the G-League like Miami and Toronto uses it. To develop legit NBA players to replace vets who move on. Right now, the Hawks G-league is bare bones. Hell, the main team's bench is horrendous. If Travis takes Cole Anthony..................................................lol...There is at least 10 players minimum Im taking over him..

I think this kid might be getting overvalued a bit. i kinda agree but he's getting a lot of attention in general. I was told Detroit wants to keep him at all cost and he's limited in the salary he can get. This was not by my guy but from a couple others who have knowledge of DET's FA situation. Before they hired their new GM, they were set on trying to land FVF but I don't know about now. Retaining Wood seems to be priority. I do know Blake Griffin is as available as ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBAchamps2016 Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 If the Spurs really do value Wiseman as the top guy and want to move up, we need to try and get Derozan from them. He’d help the team get to respectability and he’s only got one more year so he doesn’t interfere with having space for Two max FAs in 2021.

On FA I would like to go for a Shooter and/or backup PG uf we do not get Haliburton. If we are not getting a big I would like to go after Christian Wood. Wiseman has potential, but he's gonna be a turnstill on defense early on.. Heavy footed as hell...Id much rather have OKungwu if those were my 2 choices... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a guy who will D up with experience as our backup. Dunn is who we need to be Young's backup. He can guard anyone 6'8 or under and can even play with Trae at times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s weird as soon as I hear a bit about him, comes on backing him. I like the fact that he’s a 6’3” combo guard that isn’t afraid to shoot it and TRY and carry a team in stretches, there’s other types of guys that do that in our league, namely Austin Rivers, another former son of a player. Again, I like the fact that he’s Greg’s rugrat and thus been around the game for all his life, usually develops good feel, I don’t like his projected volume and fg% I don’t like his defense either. More in line with and getting a big defensive guard like a Dunn type over a Cole type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBASupes Posted July 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Good news and bad news: The Hawks could possibly be open to selling our HOU 2nd rounder. Good news is, the Hawks are one of the teams looking to buy a 1st rounder in this draft as they plan to sit on a portion of the money for 2020. I was told Atlanta wants to target a PG. 1 hour ago, capstone21 said: HS doesn't mean much ... he was a chucker at UNC and didn't play D or really look to pass / get others involved.
