• Houstan's deal is an Exhibit 10 deal, meaning that the 15th roster slot is still up for grabs

• Too early draft targets

  I can’t help but get excited about next years draft. So many standouts but who is your guy? Outside the top 3 I really like Tounde Yessoufou. For all all the ant man fans in the community, he looks like a clone on the court and a viable target for us if we fall outside the top 3-5 picks. Anyone else y’all recommend I should be looking at? Kentucky has a center that’s highly regarded… I know that’s always on our minds.

• 15% off League Pass

  League pass is $160, if you cancel it they’ll give you an offer. They offered me 15% after I hit the value not there for the product reasoning option.

  I do this every year and always get an offer. Enjoy out of town hawkers like me.

• Inbounding the Ball

  The Hawks had more challenges inbounding the ball in late game dead ball situations than most teams. Dyson notably struggled with this at times. What are the better options for this going forward. Could Kennard or NAW specialize in these situations? What other plans might work well? Pethaps go tall with KP, OO and JJ on the court making it easier to get a height mismatch on the receiving end?

• Are you higher on this team's offense or defense going into the season?

  Last season the Hawks ended up sub-average on both ends of the floor, but we so rarely got to see this team at the fullest of strength to know exactly what their full potential could've been. They're going into this season healthy with the best roster on paper in a long time in Atlanta.

  What would you all say is the identity of this Hawks team currently? Is it depth? Is it still Trae...is he the Identity of this team at the end of the day? I think that'd be fair, since he is the Engine of the offense. Will it be defense....I wouldn't be surprised if the Hawks end up top 10 with NAW+KP around, KP is a much better defender than he gets credit for....plus internal growth and Jalen back healthy. Is this a question you can't really answer now or an evolving one as the season goes along?

  Trae with KP sounds like a match made in heaven as a duo. Could be absolutely unstoppable as a pair on offense. Again, internal growth could go a long way with Risacher, Daniels, Okongwu, Johnson, all taking steps forward. Bufkin brings a shot creation element off the bench that had been missing if he finds his way early on.

  I think this Hawks team is a balanced one...probably the most balanced roster Trae has had to work with. You can actually identify lineup combinations that should work well on both ends of the floor. But which side would you say this team has the higher ceiling on? Where do you think this team ends up hanging its hat on? On which end do you think this squad has more questions to answer?

• What do you think ends up being this team's "Death Lineup"?

  The Optionality this Hawks team has is something I've mentioned before...the depth this team has is one of the biggest strengths of the Hawks this year. It's always a good problem to have, to have plenty of options off the bench to turn to, depending on the match-up, who has the hot hand, etc.

  The past few seasons it has felt like Quin Snyder has often been forced to really search for lineups and players he can trust and lineups didn't have great balance of offense/defense. That should be less of an issue this season.

  I think because of that, we may not see one sole Death Lineup of the Hawks this season. But most teams do have that one lineup combination they tend to trust most at the end of games, that one lineup that's their ace-in-the-hole, especially come playoff time. What do you think that lineup for the Hawks ends up being....do you think it's something that'll evolve as the season goes on? What would you predict it being on Opening Night?
