"The Hawks have picks 8, 10, and 17 in Round 1, they now have six draft picks," Fricke said. "You can go crazy in the draft or do what we expect and try to trade up"

They weren't the only one's floating possibilites either.

Atlanta had been motivated to keep No. 8 and use 10 to trade back for a future asset, league sources tell ESPN. Now, Nos. 8, 10, 17, 35, 41 and 44 give the Hawks the flexibility to move up -- perhaps as high as Cleveland's pick at No. 5. Hawks GM Travis Schlenk has options. https://t.co/RqjV5uxkNG

One final thing worth mentioning for Atlanta: they have the kind of draft capital now to where they can basically move all over the board (other than to No. 1 or 2) and get the players they want. Have picks 8, 10, 17, 35, 41, and 44.

So... Hawks now have 8, 10 and 17 this year in the 1st round -- Do you package those and move up to #2 or #3? https://t.co/U4FFotTNHz
