A question: IF Haws did win the lottery for#1, inches 2024 Draft,if they trade down for sone goidcdeal ,does it mean they still are in the lottery for#1 again next Draft
..or does thec2 lottery wins only in any 5 consecutive Drafts rule still apply preventing any more lottery forc#1chances fothe Hawks till the 2028 Draft?
TIF so the process we get i return must be a knock your socks off haul.
But I'd Hawks trade their pick forca conditional deal ,ie. If team heating Hawks lottery pick changes wins lotto in 2024 Draft then Hawks get a hogher conpemsation if they do not move or drop 2 or 2 spots Hawks get less back but are still in the Jagens sweepstakes in 3025 ...does that strategy make any sense
..no because no teamor the Hawks would do such a deal knowing the chances forCelebrini still relatively low and Hawks might not get enough back to consider such a deal =to me a non'starter.
So we are back to if Hawks do not winCekebrini they still have next year's chance at Hahens...but hevtoo is a shrimp ..so we should trade hom or Nazar for sonething else because Gain ..no wY this team wins a "Cup with Bedard and a 2nd (but talented) zhrimp as the 2C and 2C...forgetvabout it.
Thus my position is keep the 2024 lottery chance and hope we land Celebrini who is at least average size..If we fail to get him...dtaft Big C now and trade HAGENS IN 2025 OR McKenna in 2026 for a real haul that could put us over the top in depth of talent coming back.
AGAIN NO ...Wyy should we ever contemplate Bedard as1C and a 2nd too smallC for linev2..It just is a fail plan to ever win a cup..You know it..I know it.. and KD should know it..
