Thanks T Wolves! Hawks now have a strong case to land a top 5 pick, Twolves pick at 16, Houston’s pick which will be last of the first rd since they own the best record this season.

Thinking the T-Wolves pick will be around 18th. Still, Top 5 plus 18th plus 30th can be a haul.

So are we assured of at least a top 6 pick now at least?

So happy right now. Finally got it where both my Hawks and Wolves fandoms are equally rewarded to help both franchises. Wolves end a 14 year playoff drought and the Hawks get their first round pick, FINALLY, from that trade.

I think there is only 1 unhappy guy on this message board!!! LOL!!!

Minnesota, you the real MVP!

Go Hawks! We all know Jeff was winning for us and Sap was tanking. Been awhile since we had Teague time. Butler was awesome but his missed free throws kept it stressful.

Yeah 18 or 19 I just saw that in a few articles...I’m not understanding why it’s not 16.

i could have sworn the worst 8th seed of the two conferences get the 16th spot...or maybe I made that up in my head ...who knows

Tankathon says (if we lose the tiebreaker) we have just a 1.2% chance of landing 7th. Not zero, but not bad odds, either!

There is your hope, Hawks fans.  After 13 years in the lottery, Minnesota has finally gotten off the treadmill.  How long they stay off that treadmill is anyone's guess.  They made their first mistake by giving Andrew Wiggins that big extension that he isn't worth.

Overall record. The East 6-8 wasn’t as good record wise.

Don't they have a better record than the great Giannis?

Thank you TWolves and thank you Sap for throwing the season!  He may be getting $30M but you know he was 10 and 7 because he is still true2daATL.

It would be safe to say we are not Minnesota. The city is a much better draw, good owner now and established young nucleus. Free agents will come after next year when we have the money to get us over the top.

If free agents did not want to come when the team was good, why would I think they would want to come when the team is terrible?

We do not have an established young nucleus, at least not yet. Denver has what you would call an established young nucleus.

Pretty sure this should be read:

 

"I was rooting for Sap to show up big and prove why the Hawks were right to let him go and rooting for the TWolves to lose because I want the team to fail under Schlenk but Sap laid an egg and things broke for the Hawks.  Welp, I guess I can go back to preaching against the concept of tanking."

He is what he always been. That's why you can't take KB21 seriously. Millsap ain't Al Horford. He's always been a streaky player who is only consistent at being a smart player but his impact wanes from game to game.
