h4wkfan Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 I think in order of preference. For me, it is: 1) Trade the pick 2) Tari Eason 3) Jeremy Sochan 4) Dyson Daniels 5) Jalen Williams i think #2-4 are likely off the board by the time we pick though.

ShooterSays Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 Hope we trade the pick. Nate seems pretty deadset on not letting rookies contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why Miami with all of its 2nd round picks and undrafted players is playing 3 dimensional chess while the Hawks are playing give away checkers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys like Strus and Robinson are not special. What has made the difference for them is facing teams dealing with bigger injury issues than their own. The Hawks issues haven't been our draft picks. We basically limped into the playoffs and got rewarded with an early exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beacause we had a lackluster season and some changes need to be made. I don't think its a talent issue though. Coaching is a problem and health is the other. Trades can bring in better players though which obviously helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is that sometimes all you need is right in front of you...you just need to know how to use what you have effectively...reference to the 2015 Hawks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most OKC can offer Dort on an extension this offseason is 4yr/$56 million, otherwise he can become an URFA next offseason and ANY team can sign him outright using their capspace. Word is OKC may prefer to go into the 2023 season with only Shai on a long term contract, so they may not extend Dort this offseason. So I'm expanding the deal: OKC trades Favors ($10.1), Muscala($3.5), Dort ($1.9) and Kenrich Williams($2) for Gallo (Hawks guarantee his $21.4 mil salary), 2022 Atlanta 1st #16, Charlotte 2023 Protected 1st (if needed and if the Hawks can work out extensions with both Dort and Williams). Hawks save $3.9 million Trade occurs prior to the draft. New Roster: PG: Young (36.6), Wright, CooperSG: Huerter(14.5) Bogi (18), DortSF: Hunter (9.8), WilliamsPF: Collins (23.5), Johnson (2.7), FavorsC - Capela (19.7), Okongwu (6.3), Muscala Trade would occur prior to the draft which means we can still trade any of the newly acquired players as long as they are traded separately. They cannot be aggregated for 30 days (I think). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We kept the pick, what position should we target and who should we select? 2. We trade the pick Capela style (we also traded #16 for him) who should we target for a player upgrade using the following scenarios: -Gallo + #16 = -Bogi + #16 = -Huerter + #16 = -Collins + #16 = While I doubt we pick, i would again ask for an older player. Tari Eason would be my pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
