    It'll probably be a mid round pick. I can see Dallas. Going after Cousins or Jordan and making a playoff push.

    Doncic is 19 years old. I don't care how good he was in the Eurotrash League. He won't make a splash next year. If the Mav's finish outside of pick 5 next year then that will be one of the biggest fleecings in NBA history...

    With pick #30 in the 2018 NBA draft, the Atlanta Hawks select Yante Maten, F, the University of Georgia. As if.....

    I wouldn't say a fleecing. Mavericks coach is good, Donic is good off ball, Barnes, Matthews, and Dirk along with money for one max contract player. They could be a 8 seed and thats good for the DFW area for a start. Only worry is Carlisle hurts most young PGs.

    Yes, 19 and MVP playing against guys that have been in the NBA. You think Trae young will make a splash trying to be a poor mans steph?

    These euro trash players have beat us teams in the past.

    The pick is 1-5 protected so we did not rob anybody by any stretch. I would have stuck with Doncic. He would have made me buy a ticket next year. 19 years old and MVP of the second best basketball league...screams potential to me. Trae young does not get me excited for this team at all. He is the riskiest pick in the draft. Reminds me of when the hawks drafted and traded Pau...

    If Doncic is really that good, we will get that pick next year

    Even if he comes to Atlanta and becomes a perennial all=star, it won't really get me excited because of his foreign roots. 'Merica, Baby!

    We all have foreign roots, natives' go back 12,000 years or so, we Europe types only a few hundred or less.

    That sounds like something an open-borders California liberal might say.

    I'm certainly not in line with today's republicans on this or most any other subject.

    Playing Euro-ball together is quite different than playing in an NBA offense against NBA defenses designed to stop them.
    Only Dirk has been among the best scorers in The NBA.

    I'm reading now that the interest in Doncic may well be as trade bait. The Hawks are apparently getting a lot of interest in the pick from teams who want him. The thinking is The Hawks would trade the rights to Doncic to a team in position to pick Young. The Hawks would end up with Young and more picks or a veteran player to boot.

    That's a BINGO.

    With the 6’7” SG from Maryland, the Hawks are building a GS type thing. I wish that extra #1 wasn’t draft protected. It might still work out.

    The difference is, where's the defense, other than the 3rd pick, he has potential as a shot blocking outside shooter.
