James: The Hawks have a chance to get out of the play-offs and break into the top six in the Eastern Conference after introducing Walker and Pozin

October 23 News Recently, the basketball podcast "Court Brain" owned by Lakers forward James aired the second episode of the third season. James talked about many topics with the host Nash.

Talking about the prospects of the Hawks in the new season, James said: "I mentioned them in the first half of this recording. They are very ignored. As you said, Alexander Walker, signed from the Timberwolves, Jaylen Johnson was injured last season, and now he is back. Porzingis has experienced an excellent summer. If you watched the European Championship, he performed well on behalf of the Latvian team. Of course, this is another season for Trae (Young), and Dyson Daniels almost won the Defensive Player of the Year last season. Risashe had a slow start last season, but then he improved and performed. Okongwu, they added shooter Kennard, which can also help.

"The East has the Cavaliers, Magic, Pistons, and Giannis (Antetokounmpo)'s Bucks. We don't know what the prospects of the 76ers are. It depends on health. If they are all healthy, there is still a chance. Of course, this season may be considered a low point for the Celtics. They lost Tatum, Holiday, and Porzingis. They still have championship DNA, but we'll see how they fare.

"I mean the Hawks have a chance, they have a chance to get out of the play-in game. I think that's their main goal. How do we get out of the play-in game and give ourselves a chance to get into the top six in the Eastern Conference?"
