Draft Atlanta Hawks Pick-Swap Watch Thread

bucks going 8-2 in their last 10 without Giannis is wild.

Yep. Some luck along the way like a light schedule, and OKC and CLE having multiple key players missing… but still. Their 3 headed monster at guard with Porter, Rollins, and Cam Thomas has been putting in work

Also, their next game is against the knicks

This version of the bucks won’t catch ATL but they just have to hang on long enough to give Giannis a reason to come back

They play each other exactly a week from now, that game might determine whether Milwaukee tries to catch Atlanta or won't bother and will commit to the tank.

Ugh, hawks get the wizards again, at home. Fortunately Charlotte gets the pacers tomorrow so they should keep up

I'm kinda hoping that's the case - I'm tired of following the Hawks' record tbh. Feel some pity for them also with Risacher looking like a True Bust and their flip-flopping team record.

Mentally preparing to pick in the 12-16 range this season, and I hope we can do a deal like the Minny one with this '27 pick, and push it back a couple of years. There just aren't many holes on the team right now that can use a rookie to fill them, as opposed to trading for a vet if the playoffs show a specific need.

I agree, we are not going to find a rookie who can contribute quickly in that range. Use the pick to get a decent PF who can rebound to replace Barnes, we have to compete now before the trio sign all their "max" contracts. We already need to resign Champagnie and he is going to cost more than 3 millions and Johnson on a similar contract I guess. Olynyk and Biyombo are gone so that'll free 17 millions, Sochan freed 7 millions, Barnes will have to take a substantial paycut (from 19 millions to 6-7 in my opinion) so there will be some money to play with next year but quickly it is going to be difficult with Wemby getting the max the following one

Kawhi and John Collins out for the Clippers

We need clippers wins so they finish ahead of the Hawks, and also doesnt hurt for the Wolves to lose... but that seems unlikely now. if it was just kawhi out, im sure collins could have carried

Boozer would be amazing
