Hawks Draft Lotto: Which pick will we land?

[lethalweapon3]

Welcome back Squawkers!

I don't really want #1 'cause whichever one of Ball/Edwards we pick the other one will get Luka'd to high heaven.

But #2 (unless #1 is GSW w/ Wiseman) or #3 I can get down with. I've enjoyed getting first-dibs or second-dibs at Draft time over the other Leastern Conference clubs, and I'd enjoy that continuing, especially if it's not gonna be NY/CHI or CHA/WAS.

Like last year, I'm gonna try my best to go radio-silent at Draft time so I don't zoink out over the immediate results. Get out on these PATH trails, get home for some ZZZ's and see what gift, or lump 'o coal, is waiting under the tree in the morning. Unfortunately, the wacky weather we're having is probably gonna keep me indoors... it'll be time to curl up with some chamomile and a good book!

Finally a Hawks related event! I’m not going to be surprised if we wind up #6. It’ll be pretty annoying if some of the teams that got to play games jump is. I think the top 8 picks should have been decided by the teams who weren’t in the bubble.

Like what? As long as it's not anything hardcore criminal, I can live with it. I wouldn't be surprised if he has loan(s) with shady agents, don't care about that though. Crean spoke very high of him as a teammate.

Which means, it's probably hearsay.  Which podcast was it?

I haven't heard "off-court" issues.  Only bbiq issues.

Every year for me since the 80’s. East down hoes up! I mean.. I dunno. Look I’m excited here. I got a Xmas feeling as a kid. I hope I don’t have the same feeling post opening presents as a kid. Lets face it we always wanted more. We want that shiny #1 but settled for a more conservative #7 pick (bike) that was affordable and durable. I guess it ended up being better. But why can’t I ever get that shiny toy like Billy, the Lakers fan or Taaammmy (Tommy) the Celts fan with his shiny new bike. The world doesn’t want to see ATLANTA WINS THE DRAFT! Can we just see it once?

I think starting around 15:30 is where they get into the debate.

Come on fellas you all know that we are going to get screwed as usual. I am going with the 4th pick or lower. Hell New York probably will get the 1st pick. We will not move. 4th pick. Hell don't be surprised if teams below us jump right over us. I like where I team is right now so I really don't care where we pick--just know that we are going to get screwed.
