Popular Post DawnOfThemBirds Posted June 23, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 The NBA needs to do away with stupid pick protections. If teams what to move up for a player that they want so badly, then they should actually pay up fully. Everyone who helped come up with that dumb idea of pick protections needs to be slapped. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunt91 Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Depends on if they hold on to some of the other vets. I heard they were not going to trade Kevin Love. If they can still keep Love & Thompson they should still come in the 10th or 11th seed range in the east. Maybe they pick range would be around 11-13th in this scenario.

KB21 Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Without LeBron, if they decide to keep Love and Thompson, I can see them in the 30-32 win area. They will probably be one of the 5 worst teams in the East. So, yes. The Hawks are at risk of losing that pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazer Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 If LaBrawna bolts but they keep most of the team intact and make some good trades, that pick could end up 10-14. Toss in the Dallas pick which should be around 10th, and our own in the 6-10 range, and Hawks could possibly end up with 3 lottery picks next year. Would a 6th, 10th, an 14th be enough to trade up to #1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are the 13th worst team halfway through the season, you best believe they will tank the second half to make sure they get that draft pick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkster911 Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Our best hope for next year with our 3 1st round picks Top 3 picks: Atlanta Hawks Pick Pick 6-10: Dallas Mavericks Pick 11-20: Cleveland Cavaliers RJ Barrett (SG) is my top pick for next year.

Buzzard Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 It is going to be interesting to see the direction we take at the start of the season. We still need to work free agency but below is what I see so far. That team could win 30 games; but I would bet we start tank mode again sometime in December. The catch 22 to tanking is if we want to showcase Dennis and Baze as trade bait, the wins may come more often than what management wants. PG Schröder, Young SG Bazemore, Dorsey, Huerter SF Prince, Bembry, Bazemore, Huerter PF Collins, Moose, Spellman C Dedmon, Moose, Plumlee, Collins Unless I am missing someone that is 11 players on guaranteed money for this season. Moose has yet to opt in. After the all star break, if we want to go into full blown tank mode, here is one starting lineup: PG Young SG Huerter SF Prince PF Spellman C Collins Similar to last season, I can see Dedmon, Moose, Plumlee and Dorsey getting random starts and DNPs. Quite possibly plugging in a vet for one of Young, Huerter, or Spellman to add a little more veteran leadership. Bazemore and Schröder, if still here, will also have those phantom DNPs just like last season. Spellman is the wild card in all this. If he turns out to be a decent rookie, I am going to want to see how he fares playing beside Prince and Collins, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hazer Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Maybe LaBrawna stays for his final year and the pick conveys in the 20s. Hawks pick 6th, 10th, 25th. I’ll take it ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's enough of an upgrade to keep the Cavs in playoff range, but not so much that they'd be top4. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick protection is the ultimate b*tch move. If you want to trade a 1st, have some gonads and trade a f*cking 1st. None-a this meally-mouthed, "Uh I'll trade a 1st ...... but only if it falls between 12 and 17, then it's 2 2nds." STFU, b*tch. Sorry, still a little salty. But I'm gettin thru it, I'm gettin thru it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jy23 Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 Barrett isn’t a shooter but he’s a really good facilitator with good size, length, and athleticism. He’s also a good defender. He knows how to score he’s just not a shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
