    Coach Darko did an interview in Serbia and here’s some of the translated important parts:

    >”We have to expand the rotation, as we lack depth and top shooters on the team. That will be our focus for the summer, as well as the development of young people players on the team, so that with them we can make progress during next season.”

    >”This draft is considered one of the weaker ones in the last ten years. The next two drafts are extremely high-quality, with a lot of good players who can contribute a lot and change the franchise. I’m not saying that there are no good players in this draft, but I would say that there are not big differences between those who are in the top five-six-seven and those you can draft in the 15th or 20th spot.”

    This is a positive sign that we will actually do a proper rebuild instead of rushing to be a serial play-in team.

    Translation: We aren’t drafting a project player that will take a long time to contribute

    Please jump like the Hawks to first for Cooper flagg next year🙏

    The return for Pascal and Fred being so minimal reaaallllyy puts alot of stress on this transitional era, the margin for error is a lot smaller than it should’ve been. But that’s also why we brought in Darko with such a heavy emphasis on development. Hopefully we can find some g league gems without gambling addictions 🙏

    >competitive team again in two or three years.

    Poeltl contract will be expired by then, I can see Poeltl being on the move, he’s to old to not want to compete. I could see him wanting out next season.

  7. You guys are going to be so disappointed this season when you realize he’s not saying they are trying to lose this year, only that he thinks they can compete in 2 years. Like we aren’t going to try to lose this year, we could easily win 40+ with good health.

  8. Ok, say we are high 30s. Likely case that’s…late lottery. Atlanta’s luck won’t happen again. So dreams of Copper Flagg or thinking that’s Masai and companies goal is just not realistic

  9. Not with the way our FO does things LOL. They already delayed it 2-3 years.
