it's a big day. no not as big as nancy due date on 6/16, but MY hawks will find out where they would pick in this year's nba draft. since hawks were the 4th worst team for this year, they have the highest probability of picking 4th, which they will lose to PHX from the joe johnson trade last year (top 3 protected tho). the hawks will get IND's pick from the Al Harrington's trade past off-season, but it's top 10 protected.

in summary, there are 4 scenarios:
1. hawks keep their pick, take IND's pick (~37%)
2. hawks keep their pick, lose IND's pick (~1%)
3. hawks lose their pick to PHX, take IND's pick (~60%)
4. hawks lose their pick to PHX, lose IND's pick (~2%)

i got the % from this article. the actual draft is on 6/28.

no joe

detroit's all star point guard Billups summed it up best when he said in an ajc article, "Every year, there's always going to be some people who don't make it that are very deserving. I think a guy like Joe Johnson, he's an all-star," Billups told reporters in Detroit Thursday night. "I think he's one of the best guards in the conference, and he didn't get in. But I think he's an all-star. "

joe made a late push for the all star reserve in the eastern conference as the hawks finished january with their first winning month under coash woodson (in three years) with an 8-7 record.

marvin williams did not make the 2nd year squat for the rookie challenge neither. the hawks are 17-27 overall and that's probably why.
