You talking like you work for the Hawks. You better be right with how much big shyt you popping.
I got reach breh. Just sayin'. I don't know what their plan is right now.. They aren't locked into shyt right now unless something that's too good to be true is out there which it ain't at this time.

Just expect them to due diligence. They had a lot of meetings already, they getting close. I probably won't have nothing groundbreaking. The shyt I got, I shared on the Squawk, same day three hours later, one was done, the other is still on the table. Just sayin', if I get something Hawks related, I'll share. I just got nothing good right now. Just the same shyt I had. We talking, no deals are locked in.

In what universe would Schlenk come out and express specific interest in any player? He's made many public comments about packaging picks because he doesn't want to draft 5 rookies (that comment was made prior to the Taurean Prince trade and acquisition of the #17 pick)





Unless you are Travis Schlenk then you really don't know what's gonna happen. It's all speculation until the moves actually happen and I'm following the same speculation that everyone else, including you, is privy to.

And to assume we wouldn't do a trade is foolish especially when Schlenk himself has said that it's unlikely we draft a rookie with all 6 picks. A trade is going to happen via packaging picks with the intent of moving up
I would have heard some shyt first if we are trying to really trade the picks. All I heard is the same shyt I been had.

#8 ain't up for trade. Talking to teams about 10/17.

Looking to get another 1st with the 2nd rounders and take on mid tier cash (9-12 mil)

Want out of the 2nd round. Looking at all options.

Had two deals that was close to happening and listed them. 17/Crabbe to ATL for cap. Turns out it was bigger than that but I got the framework. The other was Roberson/21 for two 2nd rounders. I haven't heard about it since tho.

Of course I am not Travis and of course I've said that shyt in the post you replied too that I don't know what they will do during the draft, but I know they aren't going to do that shyt. I know when fukkas talking out of their ass because I am still connected. So I might not know the final sale but I know the framework usually.

This Culver shyt is overstated as is Hunter. The Hawks just haven't showed their cards but they are listening to all calls.

If I had my way, it's simple:
Cam/Little/Hunter/Sekou/Clarke at 8/10
Goga/Hayes/Kabs/Bruno at 17

shyt is simple. We got only two forwards on the roster in Collins and maybe Baze but



Plus we need a center for the future.

Not really hyped on Jarrett and he's a guard

The Culver talk may be a smoke screen...shyt ALL of it might be. It's draft week so I'm not gonna believe it until it actually happens, but Culver fits what we're looking for. If we don't get Culver I trust Schlenk and Co to draft and develop the right guy.

I believe everything is on the table until otherwise stated

I like Hunter as a fall back if Culver and Reddish aren't there either via a trade up or at #8

would it make sense for you all to just go with the following.

#8 whoever is left between A.Hunter/B.Culver/C.Reddish
#10 who is there between A.Doumbouya/B.Hayes
#17 Claxton (cant prove it but I think you all promised him)




If I had my way, it's simple:
Cam/Little/Hunter/Sekou at 8/10
Goga/Hayes/Kabs/Bruno at 17

No way Culver is a smokescreen... there's intent interest from like four teams for the guy, including Atlanta

Atlanta has drafted too well the last two years to be smokescreen Culver for Reddish. I refuse to believe Reddish is #1 on their draft board. If he is, then it's worth the trade up for Culver. He's the guy I think they want but they do have to pay to get him.

Culver is a long term combo guard for me and even a short term one. I don't see it for him chief in that position long or short term but just my opinion. My trust is wavering. So, far, all of their picks, I've fukked with. Can't fukk with Culver tho just like I couldn't for JJJ considering we need that nikka which we got.

This.

I like all Cam/Little/Hunter. Maybe less for Hunter but I still like him A LOT as a prospect, just not sold on our system fit. I don't know if we can get the most out of him but I still like him and that's where my trust for Travis helps. It doesn't help for nikkas I just don't see it for like Jarrett unless he's a backup.

the extra piece would be very inconsequential and to do that, Phoenix has to be targeting someone specifically (Culver)

In reality, Phoenix is more likely to move down than up because Culver and Coby White are seemingly the last 2 left for them and one of them will be there at 6. Anyone else would be something they target later in the lotto.

According to SKOR North, Gersson Rosas is dying to move up.

I hope the Suns don't take White.I think he's going to be the biggest bust in the lottery.

Career back up.Hope I'm wrong

Breh...

I rather the Hawks take Hayes at #8 (don't think he'll be there) and then take one of Little/Hunter at #10 than draft Reddish at #8.

I'm sorry... I think you overrating the nikka's draft potential. All the shyt you thunk about Culver, applies to Reddish. He has a defined position but not defined on court production to validate a top pick. Plus he plays like he doesn't love the game.

don't flame me breh but I was just looking at something rather than you all using the #10 to draft a big man wouldn't Capela for #10/#35 be a good addition he's locked into a good deal and can be a defensive anchor and is also young...NVM honestly it may not make sense for the Rockets to trade either Capela or Gordon with the injuries to KD and Klay.

Word is he's a serious play for the Pistons at 15 :ohlawd:
I would be all for something like that. Finally draft somebody with some real potential instead of the safe picks they've been going with that turn out to be trash. 2 of our last 3 1st rounders look like they're about to be out the league and I don't see the point of getting somebody that makes us a stronger 7th or 8h seed.
