NO! Didn’t you see my calculations or +/- spots for us in the draft since 2000? They own us +2, which starting at the 4th spot this year should leave us with with the 2nd pick. They almost want to give us #1 lol.

If we move up to #3, we get the spot that has been good to us and the lottery gods still owe us a spot.

This is the year we'll move up.  When there are no consensus stars.   That's ok.   Let's take Edwards.   

I agree but THEY (pundits) don’t wanna see the name ATLANTA winning the lottery so they give us the 2nd pick in a weaker type draft. 
 

I don’t care if ur black, white, Asian, purple or whatever, you should be getting sick of the fact that Atlanta is a big city and the NBA doesn’t want to headline us as #1 in anything.

 

But ya, if any year, this would be it.

 

ps It better be our last otherwise I’m sportin a Curry avatar

Hoping to not see this for a decade but I agree. Maybe take one spot this year and save a spot for a rainy day in 2037.

Or maybe we trade for a pick and it ends up moving up.

Because we are Atlanta, we'll get the #8.  That is what happens to us.

Less than a 3% chance but I do see the logic.  

[macdaddy]

What an absolute friggin joke that the team who went to the finals the last 5 years has the best chance at a number one pick.   The odds need to be weighted by performance the last three years.

Best case scenario is we land at 2 with Edwards gone.  Auction off Ball for future assets.

Can future assets hoop? Is he better than Ball or Edwards? lol

Agreed. I feel like they really wanna give it to us this year because we’ve never had the first, 1975, well a while but they stick don’t want the city of ATLANTA to be the headline. That’s why I’m going 2 as well.

 

Tbh, Schlenk and Hawks mgmt probably wants 6-8..lol.

Guys set to be drafted in the mid 1sts next year will all be better than lotto guys this year.

So, the answer to your question is an emphatic 'yes'.

There's a reason '21 picks are so coveted.

How many young guys do we need? Using the picks in a trade would work though..This team needs vets...
