They want to load up on potential, and are looking to acquire more first-round selections. The Hawks also are one of few teams with plenty of money to spend under the salary cap. General manager Billy Knight hasn't let the money burn his pocket, though. His preference is to build through the draft, having passed on overbidding for Erick Dampier, Kenyon Martin and Grizzlies forward Stromile Swift last summer. There will come a time when Atlanta must overpay to acquire top-notch free-agent talent. For now, though, the Hawks are counting on the luck of the draw. Atlanta owns the second overall pick and will base its selection on whomever the Milwaukee Bucks take with No. 1 overall pick. If the Bucks select Utah 7-footer Andrew Bogut, then the Hawks will select North Carolina's Marvin Williams. Should Williams go first, then Bogut must pack his bags for Atlanta. </div> Source
I hope we do acquire more picks, hopefully between the 15-25 range, I think we could still get some players that we could get a 17 or 18 at 25 or 26, I hope we get one of the forementioned players in the article Williams or Bogut and pick up a point gaurd and hopefully a good player to come off of the bench hopefully a big man. If we can trade players for draft picks I'd go for it as long as it wasnt Smith/Childress or Harrington for a high draft pick.
