I'm now rooting for it to happen.

As an aside, the best part about this thread is seeing all the lurkers take the info to their respective sites.  Then ridicule us and everything we talk about here.

So silly.

LOL......One dude swears he won't copy paste 'Hawks Insider' stuff anymore after the CP3 trade to Suns.......he missed the part about that the Jrue trade to the Suns was the 2nd option if CP3 went to LAC.

I am sorry, I am wrong on this. Ish Smith wasn't the other player mentioned by Atlanta, it was Jerome Robinson. My apologies. I got the names mixed up

 

Basically: Brown Jr., Robinson, and pick swap for Okongwu. 

Id rather have Okungwu.....

We aren't drafting Obi. For several reasons I'll rather not go into.

You gonna drop this and walk away...oh no...spill it!

I lost my passion for this draft. I wanted Obi Toppin and he's not going to be a Hawk so, idc.

Or are we definitely going PG or Wing in the 1st?

I think he's the best player in this draft. I don't even think it's close either for now. Obviously, Ball or Edwards could be better down the road but at #6, I just felt it was an obvious decision. Hayes is kinda raw. Could he be fine as a backup PG year 1, sure but he has issues. Hali is good and ready but he's underwhelming as a top pick when you got Trae Young. Okongwu hasn't been a target. We should draft him just to get assets from Washington, Boston or someone who wants Okongwu like the Spurs. The guys I like, we aren't that interested in anymore.

It's over for Houston.

Age bias is weird to me. So if you're a super raw prospect, it's ok so long as you have long arms, can jump high and you're 18. But if you're 22, can do everything on the court, no one wants you because you're old.

Im talking about the reason why we wont draft him...You said you didnt want to get into reasons why. earlier......So we're just not interested in Toppin anymore? Or is it more to it?

My guy is calling his HOU guy right now and he's not answering. Damn! I really can't wait to see if HOU negotiates with Brooklyn. Brooklyn doesn't have a Ben Simmons and the assets that appeal to Houston.

Nice trade for the Rockets. Two 1sts, not bad at all.

I just like ballers. If you are 21 or 18 and you can really really ball, I like you. I doesn't matter to me.
