You want the 25 pick back because it’s a really good draft.  

Regardless of draft. Picking 18+ doesn’t excite me. Give me assets with a better real outcome or better talent today.

The "name" police.  they gave me a big fat ticket for messing up Bufkin's name.  I called him "Boykin" and it was ON with them.  

Again, no hate in correcting you but you were driving other people nuts.  Saw it a few times.  Be like me saying Dalmation Watkins was the greatest Hawk of all time. He was better than Tre Yung, Joel Johansen and Monte Bleluck combined.  Now take me seriously. 

It was a very gentle nudge said with all the care and love of a middle school vice principal.

Where did I attack you?

You say. " See everybody took that one clip and did this without seeing his flaws like I've been telling you?" 

All I'm saying is most of us have seen the good and the bad and have concluded the potential outways the risk in this draft.  Why is that so hard for you to understand? Not everyone sees everything like you do. 

Like you keep implying everyone who likes Sarr is doing these specific things which is why I keep feeling personally insulted by your posts.  If you are not saying that, then be specific about the fans you are referencing is all I'm saying. 

See now if you've seen all the bad, not entirely sure how you can feel he's the pick. I think half of you all are idiots....I don't say it...but I think it.

Let's calm down. Right now, Atlanta is looking at every option on the table. They are looking at what are the best win-now moves, I've been told they have done their homework behind the scenes. It's a lot going on. 

Apocalypse sign number 3 today. @NBASupes is the voice of calm and settling a dispute.  @kg01 and @Spud2nique, just like we trained it.  Do you have your towels?, Flashlights? Solar rechargeable walkmans?

I was about to post something similar but figured it'd incite a (laugh) riot.

Ah well, I got the turkey jerky and schlitz malt liquor.  @Spud2nique can you pick up a pack of kool's for @warcore?  I got the Katy Perry mags for @Sothron.  Now where's the bomb shelter again?  I been watching Fallout.  I'm sure it'll be just like that.

I see you've read the Outsiders manifesto? 

[NBASupes]

Here are three things I think could happen. 

I have no clue with the draft. They are all over the place right now at least what they are sharing around the NBA. Privately, it might be completely locked in but that's not what's being said. 

1. Dre could be traded for salary reasons like JC last year. Dre has tremendously more value on the open market than JC had and it's not even close. The issue is, getting good value back isn't likely an option. 

2. The Capela trade will likely be a win for us. Teams need a true center bad and I've heard some really could offers for him. 

3. The Murray trade will be massive. Teams are dying for him and I think we will see a blockbuster deal. 

 

The draft, Trae, and OO have been moved from locks to likely to stay. 

Dre has joined Garrison, Capela, and Murray and likely to go. 

A.J. Griffin has gone up to lock to come back. It doesn't seem like he will be moved. 

I still haven't heard Bogi named mentioned for trades or JJ's so they will remain in the locked category.

 

From what I was just told, Trae has told he wants to play for a potential contender and would love to stay if that's here but he wants major changes from what I've been told. This includes spending the LT and not being cheap. 

The Hawks are looking in every direction, to tank or remodel the house. They are listening to most things at this time. I wouldn't say this is unique, since Landry been here, this has been what they have been doing.

I had to suffer, so all your asses get to go on the depression train with me too. 

The follow up tweet doesnt super matter. Howeva....

There is a very strong possibility the Hawks will have spent a #1 pick, #4 pick, #10 pick, #6 pick, and all of the DJM picks to end up with 2 slightly above average wings.......a backup big.......and Ingram.

The old spot under the bridge where we bought those 2 big bags of......and that nice woman in her underwear offered you employment filling balloons and that other guy in the makeup and dressed like the nice lady in her underwear offered you a trip around the world....3 blocks north of there. There's a blue door with a white door knocker....the password is Boykin.

Yeah and just cause you think you are the smartest one in the room doesn't  keep you from being a dumbass.

You won't get that.  The only way we get the "assets" you want, i.e. high draft picks, is by trading Trae to San Antonio to get our picks back.  The process of trading Trae will bottom this team out, and those picks will be high.
