I’m not sure there’s much more to get outta this draft for the Hawks. We don’t know if KD was close or not. But he said he was gonna try. Although it’s exciting to see your team do something cool. Or aggressive. But Hawks are in a rebuild and there’s not much sexy about that. So we’ll see what happens. Unless a team is making a bigger move and needs cap space, I don’t see many if any other teams losing draft capital to lose a contract. I Think most teams will wait till closer to free agency and lose next years draft picks!!! I do not know if the reason teams are reluctant to give up picks to lose a contract because this draft is very deep, they rather prefer the buyout route, or we are seeing a change in strategy/philosophy. Either way all of those "dream trades" taking on bad contracts for 1st round picks or move up from #19 do not look very promising right now, a day before the draft. I suppose things might change, not likely though IMO. We just saw Kevin Hayes given away for a 6th round pick with 50% retained and even our trade with Hall no money retained by Boston or picks coming back. I still can see Hawks acquiring late 1st and will have to give up #35 and another second, but do not see getting a first for a bad contract. Pierre Dorion just said that he more than likely will not be getting a 1st rounder for Dcat. He said he’s flooring all options. But a team like Detroit should not give up assets for a guy they’ll get for nothing next summer. Take another year of rebuilding, and go from there. This is a deep draft and no one wants to give up a solid player for a quick fix. Montreal gave up quite a bit for NewHook. But they definitely got a solid player. So I think Toronta may trade their 28th for a couple seconds!!! |

In Bridgestone area and I will tell you even as a 62 year old man when KD announced Bedard as the choice it sent goose bumps all over my body. The moment was electric and one I will never forgot as a life long and passionate fan. Thank you lottery gods.
