Yeah you can tell the Bulls are going to pull a Dallas they staying just around the 10 or 11 spot they know what the assignment is
Agree.
Wizards, Hornets, Raptors, Nets will stay below them in the East.
Pelicans, Jazz, Blazers in the West.
That leaves the Bulls at 8th draft spot. They will be watching other teams around them in the standings such as the Pistons and Kings and will make sure they don’t drop to 11 or 12 in the draft order. Even if it means sacrificing a playin spot.
Good to see the Hawks getting their assholes punched in tonight. Every loss counts.
They have a tough run coming up hopefully they rack up a few L’s.
oh yea forgot dallas did this a couple years ago.
Dallas just got lucky. They were one place inside their protected range, and no one jumped them to push them out. I the si drafts with the flattened odds, they would have lost that pick twice.
The bulls should just tank vs hovering around 10/11 etc…
Picks are falling further out of relevance
And this draft, outside of the top few guys, is looking weaker and weaker. On Vecenie's recent pod, he said that he is having difficulty finding guys who are even worth a lottery pick (with that caveat that it is still early)
Bulls will tank out of giving the Spurs their pick. Lots of trade smoke around LaVine, Vuech, and Ball. Holding other teams picks is overrated. Teams will only tank against you but not for you. Consolidate these picks into a star already.
The longer they hold the players trying to get their price,the worse their chances of actually tanking. That’s also only this year. The odds increase the next two, as the protection drops to 1-8.
Lakers by 10 over Hawks...going into 4Q
Hawks lose. We'll take em when we can get em. They play again tomorrow night @ the Clippers, followed by the Rockets and Suns at home.
Im still in shock that CLE lost back to back to ATL and basically has not lost any other games all season lmao
Cleveland is a good example of why you keep a core together and don’t panic. They’ve had bumps. Everyone thought Mitc was a malcontent that demanded Garland be moved. That core came together and the narrative magically went away.
The Mobley pick was instrumental and Vert has filled gaps.
They may have it or may be one player away.
People need to stop acting like ATL is a good team.
They are not. They are awful defensively and are awful without Jalen or Deandre this season.
They are regressing to the mean. It was always going to happen. Their pick will end up from 11 to 15. All of the Atl fluffing going on here was just nonsense.
Atlanta is more mediocre than awful, but beating Boston and Cleveland twice were great wins.
They were ‘playing over their heads’ wins, and I can’t wait for next time around on both, when neither team will likely rest anyone, a common occurrence against ATL this year, and the genesis of a pile of their wins.
They're a typical inconsistent team with a lot of firepower when they get hot, but they can also lose to anyone bacuse they've got nothing if their shots aren't falling.
Imo, it's just pointless to even follow their results for the rest of the season. They'll most definitely be in the play-in and then their record becomes irrelevant. If they get eliminated Spurs get 11th or 12th pick because they'll most likely have a worse record than 9th/10th in the West, it's just about if they win one play-in game or not.
What we should be afraid of is them getting hot in the play-in because that would mean 16th-17th pick for us.
Looking good today, 20 down at the half to the Clips.
Jalen Johnson missing again and when he is out the Hawks looks pretty terrible.
CLE looks damn good. Well balanced. I love their model of one star and then a bunch of solid 2’s vs the Suns model etc…
The emergence of Johnson and that Dyson Daniels trade is the difference between us getting a Top 7-9 pick instead of a likely Top 12-15. Under no cir stance they Hawks were going to be a bottom 6 team this season unless they got catastrophically decimated by injuries..It is a top heavy draft, so spurs could package Atlanta's pick and theirs (+other sweetener if necessary) to move up a couple of spots if they really like someone in the 7-12 range..
