    OO is out of position atC
  2. Atlantaholic
    Bey is better than Hunter at SF
  3. Atlantaholic
    Have we finally figured out OO is a PF? Trade Hunter for a real backup big, have OO take the PF minutes and move JJ to SF.
  4. Atlantaholic
    I'm guessing Dre or JJ would have to be included, maybe both?

    He's a better fit offensively for sure, he's younger, and yes, he has been a better player hands down. At least the last season and change. More importantly he'll be much more movable than Siakam if the move doesn't pan out.
  6. Atlantaholic
    And returns
  7. Atlantaholic
    Yup, it puts preassure on the refs. Despite what some may think refs don't want to be in the limelight outside of maybe a few exceptions. Majority of refs especially the younger ones, the last thing they want is to draw attention.

    Justin Holiday had a -1.3 WAR last year. He was a bottom five player in the NBA, and played 6th man/starter minutes for us for over a month. This year we have Garrison Mathews and Wesley Mathews averaging over 20 combined minutes a game the last several games. They are in the bottom 15-10 in the NBA. Huerter had a 3.5 WAR last year. That's the same amount of WAR as Dejaunte Murray. Yes, we could use Huerter, and yes, he'll be better than any player we are going to be pickingat 20th or whatever.

    99% of us hate the DJM move now in hindisght, but you can't shit on the front office and give the owner a pass on that strategy. If the front office and ownership are not on the same page, that is a massive issue. Fact is the DJM move was made to make us a contending team, and instead of buying in to this notion our front office made moves to slash the payroll. We BADLY needed Huerter early on in the year. Playing Justing Holiday's corpse heavy minutes instead of having Huerter for over a month cost us at least 3-4 games in the standings. And you say, well who cares, well, the Hawks played great against Boston in the playoffs, if they had finished 6th or 5th maybe we make another run. The team that made the finals last year was the 8th place Heat. Margins are thin in the east, 2-3 wins makes a difference.

    You are making ZERO sense my dude. We are worse without those guys the last two years no doubt about it. No one is saying we are good enough to win a championship, but the move to bring Murray in was definitely a win now move, we gave up a shit ton of assets for him. Several first round picks. What is the long term thinking of losing games when we don't have our first round picks?
  11. Atlantaholic
    Yup I know
  12. Atlantaholic
    Little did we know Murray is a mediocre player himself
  13. Atlantaholic
    In a championship team with the current state of the league? Yes, you are probably right. Maybe tanking for Wemby instead of trading for DJM would have been the smarter long tem move.

    They've had a sugerpuff schedule. They aren't elite or as good as their record atm. They've been completely healthy too. They rank 4th in ortg and 22nd in drt, vs the Hawks 5th ortg and 28th drtg, and with an easy schedule. They won't finish with a much better record when it's all said and done. Luka is one of the most overrated players atm. He isn't transformatively better than Trae Young, he isn't Giannis, or Jokic or even Embiid. He's around Jason Tatum-tier, Trae is just below it, though if he continues to shoot north of 45% for the rest of the season like he has the last month he's right there too.
  15. Atlantaholic
    Jalen was ass last year, and the notion Luka maximizes anyone is funny to me. Have you watched him play?
  16. Atlantaholic
    Nah, how does that make sense? No way we pay the luxury with or without Luka. We brought in DJM at the cost of an insane amount of assets to pair with Trae... and immediately made moves to stay under the LT. After making it to the ECF we made no effort whatsoever to bring anyone impactful and didn't pay the LT.
  17. Atlantaholic
    Never thought that this thread would signal the end of the Hawks season. In the absolutely loaded East this team simply doesn't stack up. We could certainly use some of the guys we gave away for peanuts.
  18. Atlantaholic
    In defense of that specific move, we could trade Trae for Luka straight up and there wouldn't be much of a change on the record of this team, maybe 1 more win 2 tops.
  19. Atlantaholic
    Haven't been watching the games in a while and won't be doing so until some changes are made.
  20. Atlantaholic
    I don't know, all I know is we need defense, have had a bunch of assets and picks that could have helped us get help on that end and have failed to improve the roster at all.
  21. Atlantaholic
    Common Atlanta sports fan mistake.
  22. Atlantaholic
    I'm actually a little surprised we didn't get this post a few weeks ago.
  23. Atlantaholic
    Mugsy Bogues: 5'3'': 3.4 RP36m Hunter: 6'8'': 4.8 RP36m Make this make sense please.
  24. Atlantaholic
    I don't want to deal Bogi. He looks healthy isn't old and is a bargain. He's the one guy on the team who we've locked in and is outproducing his contract.
  25. Atlantaholic
    I'm sure they would be willing to pay him. Issue is, they probably won't pay anyone else and nickle and dime to do anyhthing in their power to stay under the tax and we are never going to build a winner like that.
