Really?  Why?  I don’t think Landry is cut out for this job 

It's a 3 year deal because SnT deals must be for at least 3 years.

As I said above it's most likely is guaranteed for this year only with 2 unguaranteed years.

We can't tank; otherwise, the Spurs will receive our draft pick in the lottery.

I don’t think it’ll be a tank job but there’s no way any pundit will rank this team higher than 9 in the east. The Spurs have a great chance of getting a lottery pick. We need JJ to turn into a legit star or get catastrophic injuries to multiple teams ahead of us to avoid being in the lottery.

When does Trae ask out? Now or deadline?

Maybe Hawks DNA is a system rather than a characteristic.

I've been waiting for someone to do this. Thanks.

Why does it matter where the pundits rank them?  Like seriously, who the hell cares?

East is only about 7 teams deep so the Hawks are going to need to do something special to fail and make the play in.

So what happened to the Ayton deal? Officially dead? Also, we really going with Clint, Big O, Nance, Zeller, and Bruno?

Yup. There was never an Ayton deal just FYI.

For the Ayton fans.......CC plus a SnT of Saddiq Bey to make the money work. It would require a contract in the $8 mil range or so.

It was the least favorable pick already. Had it landed in the top 4 I doubt we would’ve qualified for it anyway.

Top 4, then what? 2nds?

Unless NOP and MIL are both top 4 picks... which seems possible. I'd bet Zion can eat Giannis and miss time due to constipation.

Would you rank us higher? Would you put money on it? I wouldn’t... Actually might get good odds so for fun maybe it’d be a good bet but what I’m trying to say no one other than a Hawks fan would.

Fields threw that in for good measure smh...

I think the gap between the top 8 and the rest of the east is pretty wide. Thing is, the Hawks are pretty much better than the rest of the east who's either tanking or not ready yet. The Hawks are likely a play-in team. Right at 9th seed. I don't know if the Hawks done enough to catch the top 8 teams in the East.
