We will discuss prospects that the Hawks will most likely have a chance to draft, some choices that we'd love to have, and more. We will also talk about pending free agency, needs and wants, and can the Hawks take a huge step for 2023. Who do you want the Hawks to draft? Are you excited about 2023?Tune in on June 20th at 10pm.

The 2022 season was not fun. Ended the year 41-41. Never had a win streak longer than 5 games. Lost to bad teams often. Lost 13 games after having a 10 point lead or more. Lost several games despite being within 5 points with 3 minutes left. Did not improve as a defensive team for the 2nd straight year. Team was on pace to probably not make the play-in at all. There was a coaching change late in the season. The team "did" qualify for the play-in, won that game. Played the defending Eastern Conference Champions and despite most saying the Hawks would be swept, had opportunities to actually win the series. Several Boston players commented how if the coaching change had happened earlier in season, Hawks would be a top 5 or higher seed in the East. What is going to happen this offseason? What players will stay and who will go? Who all will be on the new coaching staff with Snyder? There were some positives. Trae Young led league in total assists for 2nd straight year. AJ Griffin was recognized as a rizing star. Big O was a force off the bench, even getting into the top 10 in blocked shots per game. Jalen Johnson impressed many with his play. Lets talk Hawks.

Deandre Hunter was the #4 pick of the draft. He received a contract extension after 3 seasons. So, are Hawks fans just supposed to be ok and say that wanting Hunter to be better than he is, unrealistic? If it is, why exactly is he still here then? Quick discussion, using comparisons from other small forwards in the league, tell me who you think he shouldn't be better than... Be sure to listen to past episodes on Spotify and IheartRadio.

The Hawks are bad, and in trouble. They are pacing to lose more games than last year. Why? Falcons have a lot of decisions to make, what will they do on defense in the draft? Free agency? The Braves look like they are set, are you good with what they did? Josef is no longer a part of Atlanta United, will the team ever get back to being competitive again? The Atlanta Dream will have a new vibe this year, will it be for the best? UGA is having a decent season, will it continue?

A win is a win is a win. Is it? At what point is that not enough? Is that how you want to enjoy each season? Hoping we can play .500 ball? Today I will be talking about the current season again, most recently the Nets game. I will also be referring to my article from earlier in the month, and an episode of sidenotes that I did detailing what we did last year. I also will refer to an interview Coach Bud did while he was here in Atlanta. He talked about philosophy on offense. I also will refer to former coach Melvin Hunt as well. After, I want you to ask yourself, is what we have better than what Coach Bud was doing? Remember who was on the 60 win team. Individually, those players don't threaten anybody. Together, they beat everybody and made it to the ECF. I will also talk about in game situations again, shot selections, etc. We have 18 losses now. When will things get better? Can they get better? Don't have much time left. You know 4 years ago I talked about many of the things we are experiencing now. Why haven't they changed?? Be sure to subscribe to IMTM Worldwide Radio on Youtube.

The Golden State Warriors are once again NBA Champions. The NBA season is over. It is now time to decide who the next crop of new talent will be. The Atlanta Hawks had a tumultuous season that ended in the worst way possible. Many questions arose regarding the front office, coaching, and the players. 39 losses, little effort on defense, and an ugly 1st round ouster by the Miami Heat. What all needs to happen to improve the team? What all needs to happen to not let a season like Trae Young just had not be wasted? The NBA Draft will be the first opportunity to see what direction the team might be going in. Amidst trade rumors that never favor the Hawks, there is an air of doubt hovering over the team. Who will stay, who will go, and who might replace them? Do you really move an established player for an unproven college player and start them? Use the picks to obtain an established player and fill a need? Do you draft and stash, like in previous years? We have a special guest that will be joining us the night before the NBA Draft. A top high school player, a great college player, had a great career overseas with 3 scoring titles and an MVP, Kobe Bryant said he was "the best player never drafted". Rashad Phillips aka "Yoda" is our guest!!! Owner of Sportstalk2319.com, Rashad has taken his wealth of knowledge about basketball and established himself as a well respected industry expert. This will be the final episode of Around The ATL on Blogtalkradio. Starting in July, we will be broadcasting from Hot2100 in Atlanta, GA. Very excited about the opportunity.

The night before the NFL Draft. Teams are finalizing their strategies for a huge weekend of possible franchise changing decisions. During this off-season, we have seen a great deal of change with the Atlanta Falcons. HOF quarterback Matt Ryan is no longer here. Calvin was suspended for a year. Foye is gone. At the same time a few moves have been made to fill in some of the holes. Will the draft complete the process? That is what we will be talking about all night. Who do you feel the Falcons should draft at 8? Is this the draft we draft all defense? Do we draft anybody from the National Champion Georgia Bulldogs? How do you address the offensive and defensive lines? Running back? Do you get someone to replace Ridley? What about a lineback to replace Foye? A huge task, will the 2nd year regime of Smith & Terry be up for it? Lets hear what you have to say!
