No other name besides Bagley, Ayton, or Doncic should be linked to us in this draft. Thats the true legit tier 1 guys and at 3 we are guaranteed one of them if we don't do anything dumb. My tier 2 guys would be Porter and Bamba at 4 and 5 and i would have Porter tier 1 as well if he was 100% fully healthy no back problem concerns. Tier 3 would be Young, JJJ, Carter etc... I wouldn't trade down past 6 in this draft and honestly wouldn't trade down at all if we can get one of those tier 1 guys guaranteed. I think Ayton and Bagley will go #1 and #2. I doubt the Hawks take Luka and rumors are both Kings and Hawks will pass on him. Trae led the nation in point and assists as a 19 year old freshman. No way I risk Porter who has proven nothing past high school over him. Tier 1 Ayton Bagley Young Tier 2 Bamba Luka Tier 3 JJJ Porter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GThawks3 Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Schlenk mentioned he’s down to 3-4 guys for the 3rd spots. Hawks have workouts with Trae Young (Tuesday), Mo Bamba (Thursday), Marvin Bagley and Jaren Jackson. Wonder if those are the final guys he’s considering.

Premium Member Peoriabird Posted June 13, 2018 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 I have this feeling that we will end up with 1) Luka Doncic 2) Mitchell Robinson 3) Khyri Thomas 4) Shake Milton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecampster Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 There is no way we draft all 4 slots. We will make at least 1 draft night trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecampster Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Let me clarify that. If we draft all 4 slots and Dedmon walks, we are in a bind financially.....we'll have too much money for 1 player. We are better suited to draft 3 so we can split the $25 ish million we'd have on 2 players....paying out about $15 million of that so we are above the team minimum but that's it.

Yup...so how far up the draft does 19,30 Dennis and Baze get us? To #8 Cavs? #9 Knicks #10 Sixers? #11 Horcats? #14 Nuggs? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecampster Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 It isn't about who we include, it will be about who we take back? There are teams that don't want to wait on a pick to develop. Those teams would be Dallas, Orlando, Cleveland, NY. Those are your targets. Anyone after 9 isn't worth the trade risk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecampster Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 34 is worth more than 30. 30 is guaranteed money for about 2x minimum vet salary. 34 is 1/2 the cost for effectively the same player. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To #8 Cavs? #9 Knicks #10 Sixers? #11 Horcats? #14 Nuggs? Not far. Besides Dennis' perceived negative value. I don't see one team taking on approx. $34 mil for #19 and #30. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazer Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Dennis, 19, and 34 would be the better trade for a top 10 pick from a team wanting/needing a starting PG right now. “Orlando, is that you?” ”Daaaamn baby, whatchoo do to yo hair?” ”You like it? It’s Autumn Sunrise.” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Peoriabird Posted June 13, 2018 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 No one is giving up cheap draft picks for expensive Vets... So we are drafting 4 players. Maybe someone dumps salary to sign Lebron and we pick up a draft pick that way but the other scenarios are what Hawk fans wish would happen not reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that we can't, per se. However, I do know it's not a good idea to have that much of your team on the same cycle financially. I mean, what if they all pan out? That basically means you have to re-up them all at the same time. That's not feasible because it's highly unlikely that we'd be winning at a high level by then. What if they all pan out as NBA players but not necessarily title-worthy guys? You wanna Portland-up our cap for middling guys? What if some pan out but you don't consider them all on the same level? Well, that means somebody's getting a higher contract and somebody isn't. What does that do to the lockerroom? All in all, it's just not good. And I didn't even touch the fact that having that many rookies usually means developing 'winning' habits is really difficult. JMEO's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We technically can, I just don’t think we will. Too much youth at once, too many salaries lining up on the same calendar, too many assets to not “bundle” and try to improve draft position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
