Draft Atlanta Hawks Pick-Swap Watch Thread

[scott]

What picks do the Bucks get? I keep thinking they traded away their first round picks. I guess I'll go look it up. It seems to me like they're tanking.

They get the worst of NOP/MIL (NOP gets the better of the two)

I thought Atlanta gets NOP pick. How does it work between the three teams? I'm confused. Does Atlanta get the best pick between MIL and NOP? So do MIL get to likely keep their own pick?

Sorry, that's what I meant. I misspoke.

MIL gets the worst of MIL/NOP, ATL gets the best.

They are not they just suck this year they waived and took a big hit to drop Damian so they could spend it on Turner but he is playing like arse this year I guess an article said he lost some of his lateral quickness he may need to shed a few pounds to help himself out now that he is aging

Hawks host the tanking Mavs tonight. About to be 7 wins in a row. They have BKN on Thursday too.

Edit*: Kuminga out tonight at least.

I like how the Warriors continue to try to f'ck us years after the Zaza incident. Kuminga has played great for ATL.

I realize it’s not 100% valid when using it as a playoff projection but it’s related.

Hopefully the Hornets can keep rolling and finish above the Hawks because I don't think Sixers can stay above them.
The key thing is for the Hawks not to get the 8th seed, we want them to play two play-in games, no way they make the playoffs that way.

 

[BatManu20]

Sixers, who were already losing often, are about to really start dropping games. OKC owns their FRP of course. Thunder are about to have 2 borderline late lottery picks.

Karma hitting Morey right after he fucks up will never not be hillarious.
Sold high on McCain.

Nick Nurse should never get another job, playing Maxey 38mpg in a meaningless season.

 

[BatManu20]

Sixers upcoming schedule is pretty rough too.

Hopefully the Spurs are in position to tank that Sixers game tbh.

 

[Arguendo]

Lose/lose tonight with the Hornet at Portland.
Gotta root for the Blazers, as Hornets record won't matter if they make the POs over the Hawks. Really need the 76ers (and Warrior for that matter) to get their shit together.
Go Mavs!

The whole vibe is off there now. Wonder if Maxie becomes a trade demand candidate in the next two years.

No matter who gets the home game, ATL v CHA in the 9/10 one-and-done game is best case scenario IMO

Will the swap even be exercised tbh?

yes...we dont got our pick next year.

 

[OK Computer]

I cant believe okc will have two picks before us. Thats some bullshit

 

[mudyez]

It would suck, but A) it still might be two behind us...B) we are fine and rolling...if anything they should be pissed about us getting Harper.

I just hope, they don't get such luck (jumping into the top4) or their picks staying out of the Lottery altogether.

was being sarcastic given how much ATL has been winning

Feels like OKC won't be able to pay all these guys here soon. Ridiculous amount of picks though, I agree. Presti punked a lot of other GMs.

 

[bozhemoi]

Right now the Philly and Clippers picks are behind the Hawks picks. They'll be in the same range, regardless. I'm less concerned about them finishing in front of us than I am them possibly taking the guy we need. At this point, we need to concentrate on ourselves and make other teams beat us.

That said, they are replenishing their bench. I wasn't super high on Topic or Sorber, but they could become good, and they got Jared McCain for free. They have the assets to move up or just keep taking good prospects.

imagine they picked ahead of us last year and took carter bryant

 

[Mugen]

F'n scumbag Morey tbh

Yeah. they're going to have to decide do we pay our cheap draft picks or do we trade one or more of our current players for picks in 2045. Tough choice.
