The NBA Lottery finished up with the Spurs being the lucky winners of the Victor Wembanyama sweepstakes. The Hawks weren’t in the lottery, but the positions of the teams in front of them could make a difference. I’ll be mixing up the picks leading up to the draft, ending with some final projections. The Hawks
The MLB draft is a month away, and it looks a lot different this year with a new lottery system in place, but the Braves were well clear of it with their 2022 record. They did get a compensatory pick for Dansby Swanson signing with the Cubs, and they need to really nail these selections
Once seen as the Braves of the AL, the White Sox have not had the sustained success Atlanta has experienced. They are back to being awful again and could be heading for another rebuild.

At this point, the Braves probably aren’t going to be making a trade anytime soon, but that doesn’t mean that they couldn’t snag someone off a 40-man roster for cash or off waivers.

Things haven’t been great for Atlanta in the past couple of years, but there are reasons to be optimistic in 2023. The Falcons have one of the easiest schedules in the NFL, and their first game is potentially against a rookie quarterback. In case you didn’t know, the Falcons haven’t been above .500 since 2017.
One of the guys connected to the Braves for a large part of their rebuild was Chris Archer. He was eventually dealt to the Pirates with the Rays absolutely robbing Pittsburgh, as Archer never really lived up to his end of the bargain. Now, he sits in free agency after a so-so 2022 campaign with
The Braves are down two of their three best pitchers for the foreseeable future, and many fans are wondering if the team will swing a trade. I named five NL trade targets and five AL trade targets, but it’s probably way too early for teams to start selling. Additionally, if the Braves were to make
