I can’t believe we netted Mookie for him. What a steal for us. The few steals we really had from back in the day. 
 

Quadruple double for Mookie from 98. 
 

 

That trade was a major steal indeed. Hope Trae watches Mookie back in the day for that defensive effort, wow. If Trae could become half the defender Mookie was he is an MVP candidate every season.

It also says that the person has to have COVID-19 related symptoms for that to be a possible cause of death, if not tested.

In the last example they gave on Page 6, an elderly woman had a stroke 3 years earlier.  She became sick with all of the main symptoms of COVID-19 after she was exposed to an individual who had tested positive for COVID-19.

The reason why the individual wasn't tested was because she refused to go to the hospital.

 

So what caused her death?  The stroke that she had 3 years earlier ( that she was living through ), or COVID-19, which ended up killing her in 5 days?

Time to stop trusting in .gov, cdc, and who... they aren't to be trusted.. WHO is taking Bill Gates money, CDC all it has going for it is its in Atlanta, I love Atlanta. Obviously.  .GOV - Trump is just a puppet.  Fauci is a crook, look up what he did with HIV/AIDs trying to scare people into thinking that was something that it wasn't as well.  He isn't even a real doctor, ask KB if an internship can only last about 2 years for a real doctor.  As for Bill Gates, OBVIOUSLY he is not a doctor, he is a snake oil salesman trying to sell a vaccine.   Fauci is with the Bill Gates Foundation, his focus is not on immunity, its on vaccination.  I am not getting that vaccination even if they hold a gun to my head and/or I lose everything, because I will not yield to a fascist state.  Forget about it!

They will never make up for the numbers we miss due to lack of testing.

There is a problem with the test itself, as well, 4 of 5 false positives come from it.  All variants of influenza, and the bodies own exosomes produced by inflammation caused by stress, anxiety, etc, can be mistook for COVID-19.

America has to do better.  This has exposed us big time.

Please have a look at this and perhaps KB can weigh in.  CDC is saying that COVID19 can be listed as COD on death certificate without so much as a test for COVID-19.

Ded returning to his 3-ball form, Cam/Dre/Red continuing to raise their 3-ball %, respectable 3-shooting Teague shooting MORE 3s, and acquiring Joe Harris will do the trick

More effective drives will lead to higher 3pt% - granted they are infrequent but if Heurter and Dre got better at finishing it would open up the perimeter a little more for Trae and Cam as well.

We might have to reconsider the Trae and Kevin pairing. You can have one bad defender, but you can't have two.

I think in due time Kevin will be relegated to be the shooter off the bench. Cam and Hunter are the starting wings.

Missed Capela

this is why we lost...

At least 2 or 3 of them led to wide open practice 3s

The funny thing is that they have another article on the trade from the day before that focuses just on Atlanta and it is muuuuuch more positive.

We need to have a win streak then John and/or Trae can get EC player of week

Given where we are as a team, there would seem to be more value moving this pick in a trade.  Either trading back or targeting a current player who could help us now.  If that doesn't materialize, I'm sure we will find an exciting player being so high up the board, but probably none who could step right in and make the team better in the first year.  Halliburton is a beauty, though.

Hope that Haliburton's wrist is alright... having an MRI.. helps that he is a sophomore, and if the Hawks get in the top 3 they may be able to trade down.  It is going to be very interesting to see what TS does with this pick. 

Just now, txsting said:

Looking around the league, there aren't a lot of stretch 4's to really beat John.  Certainly not young ones.  Gotta remember, JC is still a very young guy and improving.  Can he work on his 3 ball this offseason, and come back shooting 38%+??  I think he can do it.

I think he can still improve defensively as well.  Don't want to give up on John so easily.  It would take a big offer.

"Interested?"

At this stage, I think that word fits, and the real "fake news" would be that they're not interested in, ostensibly, Wiseman. They're "interested" in everything for the moment. But the smart money, of course, is on a PG. And this isn't a team that shies away from putting two PGs on the floor at the same time.

LaMelo would probably be the exciting pick for a lot of the Hawks fans, but would it be practical? I've been reading about his defensive issues lately..   the Hawks need a big PG, but preferably one that can play defense to run with a 2 PG lineup for spurts

Trez and Capela doesn't seem like a good pairing.  Trez with Dedmon coming off the bench, sure.  But the problem is that Trez is going to get starter money, but not fit the Hawks starting lineup.  So I would say no.

For the starting lineup we need a stretch 4.  That either has to be Collins, or else Collins will need to be moved to find the guy we want.  I tend to think we can work with Collins but I'd be open to upgrading him if the opportunity arises.  JJJ, for instance, would seem to be a great fit with Capela.  

I'm not ready to make a big move at the SG/SF positions.  I need to see what kind of natural sophomore growth we get with Cam and Hunter.  

Exactly, Collins is starting PF so we have to bring in a guy that is content being a backup and paid like one if we keep Collins.  JC offense complements Capela very well.

I'd prefer Bertans.  We need variety in the offense.

Failing Bertans as a possibility who else would fit to bring that attribute( which I agree with you that we need now especially to complement Capela's minutes and space the floor). 

Serge Ibaka as the older vet?

Christian Wood as the younger guy that fits the timeline better?

5-6 before the trade deadline.

1-1 since the deadline, record stands at 15-39.

3 games to go before the Allstar game: on the road vs the Magic, Cavaliers then at Home vs Heat. Hopefully we go 2-1 for a 17-40 record before the break.

We are currently 6-7 in the 2nd half of the season.

25 games after the Allstar break - 14 at Home, 11 on the road.

What say you Squawkers. Can we play .500 ball to finish the season?? Get to 30 wins?

Yes if the roster can get healthy it should be easily done because there is a lot of talent there that can gel provided the injury bug stays away long enough.  Dedmon will help the rooks tremendously on defense the minutes he is on the floor and Capela definitely brings a lot to the table as a starter. Even more importantly JC and Hunter can settle in to more comfortable roles.  I think we got a bit of a preview last night.

Or maybe that big man rotation is just too good for him or most to crack into

Schlenk did mention looking for young guys not getting minutes due to being buried on deep rosters

It's a shame because he's a smart offensive player with a pretty nice stroke.

Just give it time, Kevin is a team defender, thats why some here on this thread pointed out he appeared a better defender last year, because he was playing with more experienced players on D and that is the most obvious work in progress on this team.
