Has any team drafted as well as the ATL Hawks in recent years?

Don't you have to not be a lottery team to know if your draft picks pan out?

And aren't the hawks picking in the lottery every year?

Lakers drafted in a 4 year span...

D-Lo
Ingram
Kuzma
Randle
Lonzo
Thomas Bryant
Josh Haer

D-Lo is an all star, and the combination of zo, hart and Ingram was the driving force of the AD trade. Randle got paid 20m a year in NY and has put up AS numbers.
Lakers did exceptionally well but most of guys didn't fit when on the Lakers. That's not good drafting, just good scouting. Good drafting means they are good on your team

Josh has severe limitations, he was never going to be more than a 6th man for anyone.
Nah. He could have started on many good teams. He' just cant be a top3 option but would have been great for us off the bench too with Riley coaching that squad at the time. What i liked about him is his rebounding and shot blocking for a SF/PF tweener

Atlanta gonna have to pay at least four of them but we like four years away from that decision.
Good players to use as trade bait is Trae and John help the team flourish and they just need to add a piece or a star

A lumpsum she gave him. She made the most money. She was cheating on him with a white dike. :lolbron:
I always wanted her to sit on my face back in the days :mjcry:

Just the last two seasons. Three years ago, we were in the playoffs. Before that, we made the playoffs 9-10 straight times. We only in year 3 of the rebuild. Hopefully we can get into the playoffs.

Nah. They don't count cause neither are playing for the Lakers anymore besides Kuz. Is rather have Trae over Ball. I'd take Collins over BI and I'd definitely take Huerta over Josh Hart. Jury is still out on Hunter and Cam.

As someone who seen mostly every Josh Smith game from Atlanta to Detroit, just trust me, Josh Smith is not a legit starter on any team. He is great talent but his flaws was comical

We aren't anywhere close to that stage yet. At the end of the day, we are merely in the same situation Denver was in for Jokic 2nd season.

Lol, I used to like her too. I used to hit her up on Facebook but she gave me no time. Luckily, most other women did

That organization has been ass for years but I like the talent they’ve assembled
The organization has been great since Ressler brought the team. ASG was trash af and in response, so was the Hawks. You like 4 years late.

I like the Hawks assets they have they seem like they have a plan and they are sticking to it....I wouldn't be surprised if Reddish ends up being really good.

They've had spurts of success here and there recently. They just havent won anything. The Joe Johnson years were good. Just couldnt get over the hump as we (Miami) was top dog in the division both during the Shaq/Wade era and the Wade/Lebron/Bosh era.

When they signed Millsap a lot of Hawks fans on the coli were down or unsure but i told them Millsap is a very good player as i always wanted to trade Bosh for him when he was in Utah. I became a fan when he lit us (miami Heat) up for 46 pts in a game. He turned out to be a great signing. They had a deep squad that had (i believe) the best record in the East if not the league that year they went to the ECFs. But they ran into LeBron and that was that. It's one thing to suck. Whole other thing to run into great players/teams that will not be denied.

I think Hawks issues as an organization is they have never had a bonafide star since Nique. Joe Johnson was top 3 to top 5 SG in the league at his peak but he was a drop-off from the Kobes and Wades of the world. I still liked him as a player tho. He just didnt have much around him

As a Bulls fan...:mjlol:
Lauri is cool and WCJ has promise but overall they've been shyt since the Butler/Mirotic draft
Honestly I’m not a believer in Trae....I wonder how he do when they actually tries to win ball games...

Honestly it’s the lakeshow and it even close....Lonzo, Hart, Kuz, B.I., Zubac...

:camby:
I'll give you Kuz and BI...Ball is not good, Hart had one decent year as a bench guy....not enough info on Zubac

Don't you have to not be a lottery team to know if your draft picks pan out?

And aren't the hawks picking in the lottery every year?

Suns have fukked up numerous top 5 pikks. Plenty of hi lottery teams cant draft for shyt
