Re: The year Atlanta doesn't have a first round pick.... ...happens to be the year where the could draft a solid big man. Hasheem Thabeet, Al Horford, Jeff Green, Aaron Gray, etc....What a coincidence.Well they would just get screwed over in the lottery anyway.
Re: The year Atlanta doesn't have a first round pick.... What's the stipulation with the Suns and Hawks draft pick? Is it if Hawks don't make the playoffs, Suns get the pick.
Re: The year Atlanta doesn't have a first round pick.... It's top 3 protected....so unless Atlanta loses like the rest of their games they won't have a pick
Re: The year Atlanta doesn't have a first round pick.... wait if it is top 3 hawks get the pick back.

But I don't think Atlanta should worry if they don't finish with a one of the worst records. Lottery seems to not award those teams, so Hawks have a decent shot at a top 3. Well I hope because I don't want Suns touching a lotto pick.

Re: The year Atlanta doesn't have a first round pick.... Most likely scenario would be the Hawks finishing the season sixth worst. Then comes the lottery, where mostly of those top 3 teams in the lottery history are 4-8th worst, the Hawks get decent #3, pick Hawes/Horford or Jianlian and then everybody's happy.Just hoping though.Don't fret, Hawks still has Pacers pick this year.The worst can happen and the Hawks don't get any of those top 3 picks. It would be great to see the Pacers, who's sliding down the standings, place 11th because because its top 10 protected only. Then get Acie Law.Again, Im just hoping though.07-08 lineup: C - Jianlian - get the Chinese crowd, the largest populationPF - MarvinSF - JSmithSG - JJPG - Chauncey - if only Hawks get rid of Speedybench: C - ZazaPF - SheldenSF - ChillSG - SalimPG - Law
