The Atlanta Hawks are in advanced talks with Melvin Hunt to hire him as an assistant coach.

Hunt has been on the coaching staff of the Dallas Mavericks since 2015.

The Hawks hired Lloyd Pierce this offseason.

There is a growing belief that both the Sacramento Kings and Atlanta Hawks are prepared to pass on Luka Doncic if he is available to them at No. 2 and No. 3.

The Phoenix Suns are expected to take Deandre Ayton at No. 1. 

Another team could conceivably trade up with the Kings or Hawks to select Doncic, but he could also slide to the Memphis Grizzlies at No. 4 or even the Dallas Mavericks at No. 5.

Doncic struggled at times in the Euroleague Final Four, which was attended by a host of scouts and NBA decision-makers.

Luka Doncic had 16 points, seven rebounds and two assists in Real Madrid's 92-83 win in the semifinals of the Euroleague Final Four.

Amongst the NBA decision-makers in attendance to watch Doncic were Vlade Divac of the Kings, Robert Sarver and James Jones of the Kings, as well as Donnie Nelson and Tony Ronzone of the Mavericks.

More NBA executives are expected to arrive in Belgrade for the final on Sunday.

Executives said Doncic has a fairly wide potential draft range from No. 1 to as far as No. 5. The Suns will draft first, followed by the Kings at No. 2 and Hawks at No. 3. The Grizzlies will select No. 4 while the Mavericks own the fifth pick.

Because Doncic could remain with Real Madrid, he has an unique amount of leverage to potentially influence which team drafts him.

The Atlanta Hawks won the No. 3 overall pick in the draft and may target Marvin Bagley if he's available at that draft slot.

"With Atlanta, you heard all along that Marvin Bagley was really their guy," said Jonathan Givony on The Woj Pod. "Potentially at two also, maybe even at one, I think they would have looked very hard at him. If he's there at three, it's an easy choice for them.

"If Luka Doncic is there at three, that's a fairly easy choice for them, I would think just looking at their roster and what they're trying to do.

"Travis Schlenk is a guy that isn't going to shy away from a European player also. I think in many ways he could be really attracted to Luka Doncic. I mean he came from Golden State. You could easily see Luka Doncic playing for the Warriors."

Dennis Schroder revealed he could see himself being traded to the Indiana Pacers or Milwaukee Bucks.

"I will talk to the general manager and owner of the (Hawks) and we will talk about the organization and what they want to do in the future," said Schroder. "My agent will also be there and he will talk to them tomorrow and Wednesday to see how it continues on."

The Hawks began to rebuild this past offseason.

Schroder said he "cannot be second to last in the Eastern Conference" during the prime of his playing career.

Schroder is owed $46.5 million over the next three seasons.

The Toronto Raptors and Atlanta Hawks were two teams that wanted to select Giannis Antetokounmpo on draft night in 2013.

"Atlanta was really determined to get him," said Wojnarowski on The Woj Pod. 

"I will submit the Danny Ferry sob story about this one," replied Brian Windhorst.

"Danny Ferry, Wes Wilcox were really focused on him," said Wojnarowski. "And Masai (Ujiri) had a deal in Toronto. Masai was working with Oklahoma City on a possible trade. I think Oklahoma City was at ten that year and they took Steven Adams. Ten or 11, or 12. Somewhere in there. Once (Steven) Adams made it to the Thunder, there was no trade. But I think if Adams would have been taken ahead of them, Oklahoma City may have traded out of there and Toronto would have gotten him. 

"The mythology of Giannis' draft year, because it was a horrendous draft. Especially at the top."

The pick owned by the Thunder that year coincidentally was Toronto's, which they dealt to the Rockets for Kyle Lowry and was then moved to Oklahoma City in 2012 for James Harden.

Ujiri had just been hired by the Raptors and they were widely expected to embark on a rebuild, but they instead pivoted to becoming an Eastern Conference contender around Lowry and DeMar DeRozan.

The Hawks owned the 17th pick, two slots behind the Bucks at No. 15, which they ultimately used on Dennis Schroder. 

The Atlanta Hawks and Lloyd Pierce have agreed upon a four-year deal for him to become head coach.

The Hawks will have a team option for the fourth year.

The Hawks parted ways with Mike Budenholzer earlier this offseason.

Pierce has been an assistant for 11 years with Cleveland, Golden State, Memphis and Philadelphia.

The Atlanta Hawks are expected to offer their head coaching position to Lloyd Pierce.

Pierce, currently an assistant coach with the 76ers, traveled to Atlanta on Friday to meet with team officials.

Pierce first met with Travis Schlenk a week ago, and he met with Atlanta majority owner Tony Ressler earlier this week.

The Hawks parted ways with Mike Budenholzer earlier this offseason.

Pierce has been an assistant for 11 years with Cleveland, Golden State, Memphis and Philadelphia.
