00:00The Hawks do not have their own first-round pick next year and in fact

00:09they don't control their picks for the next three seasons. It's unprotected

00:16belongs to San Antonio, an unprotected swap with San Antonio and then it's a

00:21straight-up unprotected belongs to the Spurs. So the Hawks selling DeJanta Murray

00:29trading DeJanta Murray. It's not step one of a full teardown. I saw the phrase

00:37for the first time flag hunting yesterday Cooper flag the projected

00:42first overall pick for next year's 2025 NBA draft. Atlanta is not going flag

00:51hunting. Now it doesn't mean the Hawks are going to look to build the most

00:56competitive roster in the league but it means that Atlanta will not reap

01:01benefits from being a 20-win basketball team. And it is why the trade with the

01:09Pelicans was a little jarring due to the Brandon Ingram trade rumors that have

01:16not stopped and we'll discuss more about. Atlanta getting B.I. back you would have

01:21thought would have been something that they would have been interested in

01:24because they're not in a position to bottom out.

01:30So now that DeJanta Murray is gone paired with the reports we've heard even if I

01:36find them to be preposterous that Trae Young would net you less it is on the

01:44board that Trae Young will just remain a Hawk.
