Trading down to get what and who?

Maybe SA falls in love with someone and trades 4 and 8 to us

Draft board before lottery balls was Sarr Risacher and Clingan. In that order. From both Hawks sources confirmed. Make of it what you will.

Please don't bro. You are better than that. 

[NekiEcko]

Yeah, we need to trade Capella or OO right now and this is just crazy right now.

Thank goodness workouts haven't started yet. That said, that doesn't give me much hope either. I do expect Sarr to shine in individuals and since he's in this range, he doesn't have to play in a group setting. This was always my fear. The upside play and this doesn't even make sense either. People will sell on Sarr but I've watched the games in full. If he was that guy, believe me, I would be the first looking for him to be a member of the Hawks but he's not. I wasn't for Marvin over CP3 and I believe this would be a bigger mistake.

Ya'll gonna be so disappointed if we land Sarr

Why this guy sucks in the post?

He's weak, I thought he was supposed to be Wemby

If we didn't have Trae, sure.

But in a couple hours of scouting, I'm seeing a really good shot blocker and good lob threat.

Put this guy next to OO and I'm less worried about his strength. But he literally just turned 19...he's going to get stronger -

Not saying he's Giannis, but he's going to get stronger too.

I'm honestly more thinking Sarr as a 3 would give us a crazy long front count.

Giannis was pick 15 on a team with nothing with upside. He was given so much patience. The Hawks have a team built around Trae Young. Trae expects for us to win now. We rush this guy and put him at the 5, we our gonna f*** up our investment asap. 

The risk is way too high. Everyone that wants us to draft him are comparing him to polished guys 10x better than he is. He may have more talent than most guys, hell, he would be one of the most talented players in last year's draft too but his floor is so damn low. 

I don't like it and comparing it to Giannis doesn't speak to where we are and where we are with the pick.

You can be upset but you are better than the personal insults. You know this my friend.

This will take so much time. We are talking at the earliest, he's in the rotation in 2025 and maybe if we land BI, that's not a bad thing. 

Trae 

BI

Sarr

JJ

???

Damn near everyone 6'9 and athletic af. This is if his development is super fast and who knows, we saw Vit improvement in College Park

I'm thinking getting the 1st pick probably throws some cold water on the Ingram trade chatter.  If Sarr is who they take, hopefully they hang on to OO.  On another note, still no peep from Trae.  Is he happy about this outcome or not?

[NekiEcko]

I believe we need to remain calm, take a step back, and breathe deeply. This will be a defining moment for the Front Office, and it's not the time for hurling insults or negativity at one another. For now, let's celebrate securing the #1 pick and look forward to what the Hawks will do with it.

This is valid. At 15th you can easily swing for pure potential.  We can't do that. I honestly think Sarr at 3 would be a difference maker
