It's not going anywhere, but I hope we get some tweaks to the format. I don't love that it's still split up by conference (it'd be fun if two Western rivals could meet in the final) and it remains weird that the championship game essentially means nothing from a fan perspective, since it's the only game that doesn't count toward regular season records.

Any deals the Hawks could make with the Spurs that would entice them to send their picks back? Maybe in a 3 way trade with Sacramento including D Fox?

The only players the Spurs might give up those picks for are ones the Hawks presumably don't want to move (Johnson, Trae, Risacher, etc.). Hard to see it.

What are your top 3 players that you think will become available on the buyout market.

It's tricky to predict this until we see what types of trades are made next week. For instance, I think guys like Dennis Schröder and Luke Kennard are too good to end up on the buyout market, but if their teams trade them as part of bigger packages and their new teams are lottery-bound and have no real reason to keep them... who knows!

Bruce Brown is the most interesting one to me right now. Bojan Bogdanovic would be intriguing if he gets healthy. I don't think PJ Tucker has much left in the tank, but I have to imagine he'll be available.

That's all the time I have for today. Thanks for all the questions, guys! Hopefully we have an action-packed six days leading up to Thursday's deadline.

I won't be able to do a chat at the usual time next Thursday, but if I'm not too swamped, I may try to do one on Friday again. Have a great week!
