Putting on my GM hat, this is what I'd largely expect Schlenk to do:
* We draft one wing and one center, with one being a high-risk, high-reward type of player (Reddish, Little, Hayes, Bol, Doumbouya) and the other being a 'safe' high floor player (Hunter, Hachimura, Jontay Porter)
* We shop Taurean but won't move him unless we get a decent-quality 2020 1st OR a younger prospect from a playoff team looking to consolidate. Some good targets would be Zhaire Smith, OG Anunoby + a 2nd, Lonnie Walker or Jakob Poetl, maybe Josh Okogie + a future 1st
* We don't sign any major FAs because KD goes to the Knicks and we recognize (rightly) that we have a lot more internal development to do before tooling up with mid-tier FAs
* We end up resigning Dedmon to a 2-3 year in the range of $9MM annually, with some sort of option for year 3 (depending on what the market looks like - I think he will be a later signing and we will get a team option)
* Old man Vince resigns for another year, along with Poythress and Deyonta Davis
* We absorb at least one bad short term contract in exchange for picks. OKC and Miami would be prime targets, I'd look to take Roberson and/or Whiteside
What do you think about my predictions? How would you feel about such an offseason?

Re: Full Offseason Predictions
^Those are worthy and reasonable guesses.
I gotta be honest, as much as I love to speculate...I honestly have no idea what's coming.
We have so many viable options. And that's great!
Kevin Looney seems like someone we'll pursue this summer...that's all I got.

Re: Full Offseason Predictions
We will draft wangz with 8 and 10
Prince will be moved for a difference maker
We will move into the 1st round
Summer League will be fun to watch again

Re: Full Offseason Predictions
@Jamaal - I like Looney as a backup guy but I see him as strictly worse than Dedmon in pretty much all facets. Wouldn't spend more than $4-5MM on him
@Ken - who do you consider a 'difference maker?'

Re: Full Offseason Predictions
Looney is a scrub. I’d rather draft a second rounder. Every scrub is overrated due to the system. I don’t want any..ever lol.

I think Brogdon will flirt with us to try and get a huge offer sheet for Milwaukee to quickly match.

Reddish and Hunter drafted. Got that. VC resigned. Got that.
Good guesswork!
Mid pre season - - Looking terrible. Two more games, then they count..
GO ATL HAWKS !!
