We need another center, whether it's claxton or Drummond.

2023-24 NBA Regular Season: Notes/Tidbits/Updates etc.
Atlantaholic replied to JayBirdHawk's topic in Homecourt
Many of us on this board were jumping at the bit to trade half the team for Durant. Never a fan of that strategy. -
I think you need to move one of DJ or Trae.... unless you know 5th seed is the ambition. For me it's obvious which of the two you move.

His role in Phoenix was perfect. He (and Cam *Johnson) were such key pieces for them. -
Jalen is smoother (ironically), there was always some Jank to J-Smoove, with his loose handles and while he had the highlight passes he was also the type of passer that would occasionally throw the worst pass you've ever seen. I think Jalen is much more refined offensively overall, it took several years to get Josh to look like he knew what he was doing on that end. Josh's brunt of his value always was defense, he was a legit force from the first day he stepped on the court on that end. It's why when his athletic ability (and shotblocking) started declining, he found himself out of the league. Jalen's shooting splits all over the court already put peak Josh to absolute shame.

Isn't a lot of this stuff the things we were raking Nate over the coals for? Quinn gets a pass??
-
A streak to me starts at three and we need to get one of the longer ones going.
-
He's just tapping into his potential
-
His advanced metrics in SA were nothing special. I can see why now.
-
We had two top 10 picks and drafted Hunter and Cam, while our two 19th picks that were actually good (both better than either of the other guys) we overpaid and traded for peanuts. Damn our front office has sucked since the ECF run.
-
Another guy we are going to move for virtually nothing. Yay!
-
You mean the one guy that had 24-25?
-
We sold low on all of our players and will end up doing the same with Hunter.
-
He's clearly better than Murray at the 2 spot, on both ends.
-
Bogdonavic is the second best player on this team.
-
Worth noting we are having to start Bey at PF, when he had mainly been a SG in Detroit.
-
Hunter should be traded for a big. That's the trade we should make.
-
The knee surgery he had was supposed to help him avoid missing games? He really hasn't missed more than just a few games since then. I appreciate the sentiment of selling high, and I'm not opposed to moving Bogi if we can get something better in return, but it's gonna be tough we can do that because he's extremely valueable to th eteam atm. Without him we have zero bench scoring.
-
Cade has been abysmal.
-
Trae is looking closest to his second half 2021 form, it's a huge relief to see him play at this level again after a down year last year and an extremely rough start to his year. He is playing as a bonafide All Nba star and that's the hardest thing to find in this league. Defensive pieces, spot up shooters etc. We should be able to find those to plug alongside him, our failure up to this point notwithstanding.

Getting in so deep as a fan of the Hawks you start posting in this forum is like contracting vampirism, a curse forever
-
You are really overselling Grant my dude. He's a lateral move from Hunter overall. Better offense worse defense. He's not averaging 20ppg for the Hawks, might not average more than 17
-
No way, we don't need to trade him, just play him at his position at PF.
-
Hunter is a waste of height. Please trade him for some actual size
-
we have one center on the entire team. That's the biggest issue.
