thecampster Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) If the season ended today, the Hawks would own one of 1-4 pick in the draft (we will assume 1 but could be as low as 4) 11th pick in the draft (From the Clippers - thru Houston) Top 3 protected....root for LaC to lose as much as possible while staying out of the top 3. Should LA win one of the top 3 slots, we lose this pick till next year. LAC wins lottery, begin conspiracy theories in 3, 2, 1..... 23rd pick in the draft (From the Timberwolves) 31st pick (will not transfer away because the pick is not lower than 55) So theoretically 1-4, 11, 23, 31. This is what tanking has currently wrought. IMHO, they should/would package 23+31 to move up 3-4 slots with one of the following teams (note: Detroit currently in the 22nd slot, NO in the 16 for reference, some of these are tied for position). Detroit Oklahoma City Washington Denver Indiana Milwaukee New Orleans For the pro tankers out there, let me show you how the Hawks can get completely screwed by this. In 2018, in order the following teams win the draft lottery...Dallas, LAC, Orlando. Instead of 1,11, 23, 31...The Hawks get 4, 23, 31. There is a reason they call it the lottery. Best case scenario. The Clippers continue to lose but fall no lower than the 4 slot, lose in the lottery and the Hawks get the Number 1 overall pick. Minnesota falls 8 slots by going backwards 4 games in the overall standings. Then they are 1, 4, 15, 31. They could package 31/15 to move up to 12-13 and have 1,4,12....perfect world.

Moderators lethalweapon3 Posted December 30, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Speaking of the Rox, their 5th straight loss plus our strategi-loss tonight moves the Rockets within a game of Toronto and San Antonio, and 1.5-games away from Cleveland. 25th pick, here we come! :) ~lw3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
