I'm developing a web series.  I'll be like Maury Povich but instead of paternity test, I'll be opening 'Hawks DNA' tests.

Kent Bazemore .... (dramatic pause) .. you do NOT have Hawks DNA!

:Baze: What?!  And I've been walking with this Hawks gear all these years?  How could you, Kyle?!

:Korver: Why you lookin' at me?

I just can't with yall today 😂😂😂. My laugh shook the room. This Hawks DNA thing ain't going away is it? It keeps me awake at night

Dude.....the Hawks don't keep the pick.  It doesn't matter where it is.  The Spurs own it. Period.  The Hawks making the playoff isn't going to allow them to keep their pick.  

I know they don't keep their pick. This team doesn't have that much talent. The worst thing would be the be a lottery team and then sending the lottery talent to the Spurs

We need to be a playoff team.  I think we are as of today (even if it comes through the play-in).

An interesting, but never really discussed, dynamic with the spurs owning our pick is that it should have impact on what we should be doing, as @REHawksFan has said.  Not having our pick doesn't mean we need to try to contend for a championship, or push all our chips in-- it just means tanking is not an option.  If the front office decides that the best course forward is developing our young guys and getting them lots of minutes to set us up better in future years, at the cost of some wins this season, that is still a reasonable position to take.  We don't need to be a playoff team. 

What matters is continuing to do whatever possible to build the best team-- we should not be making decisions to feel better about hind sighting the trade.  The trade is done.  Sunk cost.  Where the pick lands is completely irrelevant.

I would not be surprised if we finish 6th seed, higher than 3 of following teams: Miami, Indiana, Cleveland, Orlando, Philly.

The only players I can think of are Levert, Okoro, Struss, PJ Tucker, DFS, Duncan Robinson?

This team is a playin team. Trading Hunter for no upgrade will make this team worse. None of those names move the needle of the goal is to make the playoffs and keep the pick. The FO has to be very careful if the goal is to not become a feeder to Spurs. None of this talk about salary dumping right now. The only interesting names are DFS or Okoro.

And unless the pick has very little protections and will almost always convey then it's not good enough.
