Thunder up next for the Hawks. Hopefully OKC get out some pent up aggression from their recent losses.
 
Wow, the start of the season led to think Okc will cash in for sure with UTA and CLI at the bottom and Spurs unlucky with ATL looking good.

the Clips have won 3 in a row but it'll be hard to go higher than 8-9 in the West. For Utah, the pick is top8 protected so it is less concerning.

Imagine trading Luca Doncic and your return is... Zaccharie Risacher.

He's a number 1 pick, though, and Luka isn't ;). If Nico was still there, he would spin it by saying they traded another number one pick (Anthony Davis) for a younger number one pick (ZR).

Anyway, hopefully the Mavs get a better offer from someone else and don't do business with the Hawks.
 
They're 0.500 team at best even on weak east. Hope they keep loosing games and team morale goes down resulting in as high as possible chance for another top 4. We need to upgrade our PF desperately. HB is getting old, CB may be good 3 and D or may be just another Jeremy or Julian at best.

As long as they're out of the lottery, it's a win.

it's going to be hard, the lottery is the last 14 teams. Utah can finish with a pick in the top8 and it would be protected, I don't see them finishing top16 to avoid the lottery so there is a high chance that there pick will be lottery bound although it could be bad. The Clippers could go crazy but right now they are 8 games behind team number 16.

Yeah it seems impossible but this league is weird today, especially the West.

We're 10 games away from playing only half of the RS, so much can still happen and imo having no incentive to tank will make a huge difference after the ASG.

Even us, for all the apparent success of this season, we're not that far from the play-in. One bad week and...

Maybe I'm too close to this loss but I was really impressed by UTA's talent, take away Wemby they might have more than us.
 
Just need the Bucks to get their act together and for Giannis to stay put and it's a lottery pick coming our way.
 
It's noteworthy that if Spurs are keep doing great and have one of the best record, it won't screw Hawks because they will swap that pick with Cavs pick thanks to the De'Andre Hunter trade.

Right now, Spurs will get #12, Hawks will get #15 and Cavs will get #28.

It’s crazy at how well the Hawks maneuvered out of the horrible DJM trade. Hawks are probably hoping Young opts out this summer.

They got lucky Cavs have been terrible this year.

I want Yaxel Landeborg so bad... He'd fit with us perfectly.

He's one of the better prospects in that 10-15 range imo, but his age can't be ignored. Not sure the Spurs would take him over a younger player with more upside. All depends on where that picks lands and who's available. I'd bet they have him in for an interview and workout during the pre-draft process though.

I honestly couldn't care less about his age atp. He's like this years Cedric Coward for me. Great height, insane length. Can shoot the ball well and handle it. Plays a great defensive role on an elite NCAA team. We have our stars, lets get our roleplayers. He's big enough to guard big wings, and quick enough to guard guards.

Every time I've looked at box scores, they've seem to be in a lot of games. I think it's been their effort and care to want to play defense that have given them a worse record than they have. I saw a Will Hardy video from about a week ago when he went off on them on the bench saying he was sick of their lazy play and effort all the time.

As for the Hawks, maybe they should talk to Dallas about including Trae Young in a trade (not sure how the salaries match with Davis). They could then maybe pivot and trade Kyrie for picks. I'd always take Kyrie personally, but due to age, might be a good idea to try and get a stash of picks for him before he gets even older. Having said that, I suppose teams need to see how he looks when he returns from injury before giving up picks for him.

I mean I agree that he'd be a really solid pick. I was the first person to post about him in this thread so I've been a fan of his for a minute. I'm just sayin', even Coward was a couple years younger on draft night than Lendeborg will be. But regardless, I do still like him as an athletic 2-way PF option who's also a switchable defender. And he excels in transition so he could run with our young guys. Also, as you mentioned, he has great length for the position with his elite 7'4 wingspan. He'd be a considerable upgrade defensively over Barnes, though I do think we're going to re-sign HB this offseason regardless. His improved 3-point shot has really made him a different player this season. He took way more midrange jumpers at UAB. Now at Michigan, the majority of his shots are either at the rim or from 3, which is much better-suited for modern basketball and what his role in the NBA will be.

It's worth noting is that his basketball age is pretty young, late to the game.
