The Hawks' new GM was with GS for a long time, is credited with many of the personnel decisions that put their current team together.
I agree with the poster who thinks Ferry would have done a fantastic job if not for the lame ass PC decision to fire him over nothing.
Just hire Sam Hinkie. He will tank your team and get you under the cap to the point that you have to sign a player to meet the league minimum team salary. And you will definitely get a bunch of draft picks over 3-4 years. Just be patient with his picks as he either will draft injured players who will miss a year or two or the healthy guy he does draft will get hurt early in year 1.
Do this for max 5 years. Adam Silver will force him out and then you can hire Colangelo whose son creates burner accounts and knocks your players on social media.
Great model to follow.
Ending on a positive note - Thankfully, your attendance won’t suffer though as most fans who do go to the games pull for the opposing team so there is some upside there.
If we'd tanked well we'd have drafted Ayton. I'm not sure he really fits today's game as well as the 2 players who will still be available at 3 who I mentioned before though. Ayton will be a great center, but the last great true center to be important in winning a title was probably Shaq Pappy.
I'm trading Bagley if he's there. I think he might go 2nd, though. I do think trades find be in the picture. Not sure the Shroeder fits into the long range plans so he could be packaged with picks to move up.
Move up, from 19th ?
If Bagley was still available at 3, so would either Jackson or Doncic.
I'm not trading out unless it's for overwhelming value.
Don't forget Josh Childress
Kings are not interested in Donic. So is he isnt taken by his former coach at #1 he will slide a bit. I look at the draft and there are so many gaurds and wings that ATL has to take one of the bigs early. Don't leave out Mo Bomba as he fits in the Hawks ideas. Then with the latter two pills find a wing and gaurd and try to get rid of Dennis and either Bazemore or Dedmon and start year one of the rebuild.

I think you're confused on this forum. The attached link should help.
Meant to say drafting Bagley at 3 and yes I would try to package Shroeder with the 19th pick and try to move up. Maybe one of the 2nd round picks as well if necessary.
Bamba offers nothing Jackson wouldn't bring and Jackson has better offensive upside.
Bamba will probably block more shots than JJ, but he is mostly a low post defender while Jackson can defend a huge area inside the 3 pt line.
I read Suckramento is interested in Doncic, but that report came out just after the lottery a couple of weeks ago.
New question, what interest if any does Atlanta have in him ?
My thinking is it's either Jackson or Bagley, but I wouldn't bet the farm on either.
I’ve really liked led Bagley all along and we need somebody who can go for 20 a night.
I believe Jackson will work also. If those 2 are gone and we ship off German Chocolate, I say we trade down and take Sexton and figure it out from there.
Man, I haven’t been to that site in years. I was “Givemthebird”
Ok, I caught myself. If Bagley and Jackson are gone when we pick at 3 we’re taking Ayton.
Im posting at Red Lobster, smh
Sexton has tools, but he's not special in my opinion.
Trae Young on the other hand has flaws, but he is a special shooter and a very good passer.
If I'm trading picks and players to take a PG in this draft, it's either Young or Doncic.
@WCDawg supposedly Grizzles woulda be the next team interested in Donic.
Mo is longer than Jackson while yes Jackson had the better offensive upside but he disappeared in competive games. 8 points in the tournament. Plus Bamba has the personality of a Embiid and would help give a fave even if he never is a superstar he'd be a Deandre Jordan like role-player.
I will be interested to see where Trae Young goes. His play really dropped off the 2nd half of the year. I wouldn't be too quick to drop Schroeder. Perhaps the new coaching staff will be able to get his head aligned more effectively.
He’s a guaranteed lock to th knicks at 9
The fact Jackson tailed off late in the season is a concern, but he's the youngest player in this draft. He was sort of a hs senior last season.
Bamba is longer, he'll be among the longest to ever play in The NBA, still.
If you watch just his defense on videos Jackson is already a marvel, he will be a superb half court defender.
Maybe if he's still on the board at 9, but that is far from certain.
