With the NBA finals now over, all eyes are squarely on next week's NBA draft. Atlanta Hawks general manager Landry Fields held a press conference on Monday, and it appears the Hawks are set in actually making the pick and not trading back to acquire more capital or a player.

This doesn't, however, mean that they will not make a trade, eventually. With both Trae Young and Dejounte Murray still on the roster, it is widely assumed that a trade may eventually happen that contains one, or both, of the Hawks star guards.

Atlanta Hawks broadcaster Mike Conti joined Andy Bunker and Randy McMichael to discuss the impending NBA draft, and the conclusion of the NBA finals.

Why are basketball fans in Atlanta still angry at Al Horford? Congratulations Al.
