I feel you, but lets see how it plays out the rest of the year. I am not opposed to trying to bring in Kris Dunn but he injured his MCL just recently..

Yep, same stages, then in the twilight of his career he can try to ride superstars to a title for the vet min.

I get the sense Cam will do whatever it takes to realize his ceiling as a player. He has a great attitude and work ethic too apparently or Schlenk wouldn't have put himself out there saying that Cam could be the best player on the roster just rencently.

Its like Cam and Hunter swapped bodies. One would expect Cam to hit a wall and struggle like this. I am very excited about how they both look after offseason and preseason at the start of 20-21.

thats a lot of ifs my friend lol

its worked well for Memphis but their vets are very solid, healthy and near prime. Valinciunas and Crowder. I guess they just traded Jae so we will see how they perform without him.

Quite frankly, I was shocked to see Hunter's numbers somewhat solid over the past 10 games. He is turning the ball over a little much but is shooting 3s around 35%, 43% FGs overall.. I am disappointed in his performance overall this season but I think he got hurt the most by Collins suspension having to fill in at the NBA 4 where he is out of position, while at the same time trying to adjust to NBA 3 where he is out of position relative to VA Cavaliers where he played College 4

Lloyd has wanted more FT attempts from Heurter since 18-19... I think he was trying to take it to the rim and draw fouls until he ran into the Joker, hurt his shoulder, now is gun shy to drive in traffic

Once the starting unit Young-Cam or Heurter-Hunter-Collins-Capela gets a chance to gel in 20-21 season that is going to a solid defensive unit. The bench with Teague or Goodwin-Cam or Heurter-Bembry-Bruno-Dedmon not shabby either.

Wonder how they gonna feel next year when they are near the Eastern Conferance cellar paying the man 29 million for 20-21. There is no way he is going to test the market. He may not prefer Cleveland but the money will anchor him.

if Nurkic comes back healthy Portland is a bad matchup for them.. Dame and CJ will give em hell Dang, missed it

Not initially but the biggest factor to change that has been Young's surprisingly rapid ascent. Had John not missed 25 games and Heurter not missed as many games as he did, the moves that Schlenk just made could quite possibly have easily rode the Hawks to the 7 or 8 seed in the East. Most likely too deep in the hole now, but I expect a .500 team from here on.

You made an excellent point here Supes that I hadn't thought of before. We have discussed Schlenk over estimating the contribution that vets such as Parker, Crabbe and Turner could make but I think he also under estimated the contribution of the departing vets Bazemore, Prince and Dedmon (who he has now returned).

Halliburton has definitely been on my radar. That is pretty good company

Ditto.. that season made me realize how badly this team needed to rebuild. There was no hope to contend or possibly even continue winning games at a respectable clip keeping that team together and no FAs wanted to walk in that door.

I may have misread but I got from Giannis that Trae wasn't a passer rather a chucker. Or were they referring to Harden? Anyway thats definitely not how Trae plays, he is definitely a willing passer. If he had Dedmon and Capela this whole season he would probably be averaging 12 APG

Did KB post before the 4-21 stretch of John's suspension?

This guy...

Too early for Capela to be on injury list?

I feel either they will or Charlotte will do that or bid for him more than anyone else and he will take every last dime he can get.

I'm hoping Capela starts getting limited min after ASB with the Hawks conservative training staff led by Chelsea Lane... D'antoni had said his heel was doing better 'good enough to play half the back to back'

The fan base would bring out the pitchforks.

I like Harrell a lot but we got bruisers at C now we need a stretch 4 (Bertans)

If Drummond wants to be with a contender he better set aside his intent to get a max.
