Draft Atlanta Hawks Pick-Swap Watch Thread

Maybe I'm crazy... but seems like HOU would be a good destination for a non-extended Trae...

I'll be even crazier and say the Bucks.
They'll be $18M under the cap next summer, with everyone except Giannis and Turner being easily moveable.
Trae takes a slight paycut and they could somehow get him.

Not a perfect fit, but Bucks are desperate to compete and it would surely be a fun team.

I don't think Rockets even consider him because of their defensive identity.

Hawks are four points away from being 0-4 to start the season. They don't look good. It's hard playing defense with Trae Young, but one problem is that Dyson Daniels really doesn't look good so far this year. Their overall defense has taken a step backwards.

for now, they're still beating up on brooklyn and up by 14 in the second. but if he misses any extended time...

shit...they may play better without him.

buddy of mine is sports doc. has worked with hockey and football teams.

he said its definitely an MCL injury by video, same mechanism as Pacheco's injury from the Chiefs game this past week. could be sprain or tear, would need MRI to determine severity and how long he'd expect to be out. if its very mild could be as little as a week or so until he's back.

Nets in the bonus less than halfway into the 3rd, and KP just picked up his 4th foul (jalen johnson with 4 fouls as well)... but they're still down 8

edit: man, nets are bad lol. lead up to 13. how did we let these guys storm back and take the lead?

Hawks are quite deep....they have 8, 9 players who are score at least double digit in any game

we are 3 quarters into the Nets 5th game of the season, and Egor Demin has attempted 22 three pointers and not a single two pointer
