So another great game by a big Sf against us, this time was Iguodala, best game of the season for him.... Cap 453

Agreed, he cannot defend big SF at all, aleays has played SG so really not his fault

I don't think he has so bad jumper, defends well, plays with high control, pass very well, I see some of James Harden on him... of course he will not be a great scorer but he has a good feel for the game

Very simple, we were destroyed by a big SF again.... cap 452

I think Mcrae would be a fine addition, a player with upside, different from what we have

You using irony right?

Considering what is out there, Chalmers, Terrence Jones, Barnes.... all fill a need and we end with these scrubs... disapointing really disapointing

Brandon Knight is available for a 2nd round pick, we should definately pick him

Of course he is but NO is looking for wing help, that is why trade fits so well with us, you want to unload Baze? you have a partner... you want to send a expiring? You have a partner, they will take Thabo or Baze in a heartbeat.

There are going to be some opportunities there, players that fit our system and we can get them cheap. Terrence Jones, Matt Barnes, Brandon Knight, Tucker, Lou Williams, Galloway, Ajinca.... when you have major holes as backup PG, SF and backup bigs is easy something there you can use We have some expirings we can unload to a rebuilding team as Thabo, Splitter, Scott, some wings that are redundant and we can trade to a team looking for wing help as Bazemore... Muscala could be appealing for some team.... There are opportunities there, just make it happen Hawks!! by the way I am assuming we don not get any big name

I think he could be a great help here, a frontcourt quality player. NO need wing players and he have a overboking there, trade makes sense for both. Thabo for Jones? Or even we could think Bazemore for Jones if they add something?

I think we will draft a big with first round pick Justin Pattin, Tj Leaf, Motley or Adebayo would be great picks The 31 is a great pick, I would go with a SF there and on the oter 2nd rounders try to find a backup PG and a big. Blossomgame, Josh Hart, Nigel Williams, Jawun Evans, Melo Trimble, Dwayne Bacon, Thomas Bryant, Caleb Swanigan, Alec Peters.... are good second round prospects, there are some role players on this years 2nd round, do not waste picks

Could not agree more, this is the point I am making. I would add some games from Baze, I mean he is not so bad, part of the problem is that he is playing out of position although I think THJR is playing better this season, contract season, take that into account

Some misses on draft day just make me sick Hood or Harris were so obvius decissions instead of Payne Same for Dieng instead of Bebe.. I am not talking about missing on Gobert or Jokic or Daymond Green, that was not obvius and were great hits by those teams, but Harris, Hood or Dieng were ranked ahead of this players by nearly every expert... Now we could be Schröder, Baze, Hood, Milsap, Howard Felder, Timmy, Prince, Humph, Dieng.... Better if we do not thunk about it...

We have so many holes.... Backup PG that can provide scoring Starting SF that can score Backup SF Backup C.... Schröder is starting caliber PG Timmy and Baze are below average starting SG Milsap and Howard are starting PF and C, Hump is a decent Backup PF. Other than that I do not see the other pieces fit great on this team... Thabo I agree that has been playing well but I do not like him as a player lacks size and strength to defend most SF and at SG I prefer Timmy and Baze. Of course Bembry and Prince are developing, I wished Prince could demand good minutes at SF but is not the reality now. Bembry is showing some promise and could make Timmy ir Baze expendable, mostly Baze. Someone said we have reached the peak, I don't agree, we lack so many players at some positions that force us to play players out of position and make us underperform. There are some cheap solutions out there that could be signed and never come to this team, players as Ed Davis, Harkless, M Barnes would have been cheap to have and fill holes here, instead of that we will sign other SG, size and strength are major lacks here....

I can understand trying to dump Mozgov but do not think they are interested on trading Lou, he is a bargain at that price and is an important piece of what they are doing today

So let me understand something... Why LA are trading Lou and Nance to get nothing from us?

Well Murray can definately be a cornerstone piece or the future, Nurkic could develop in a starter C, very good potential there. Chandler is definately what we need at SF position. For me this helps more in the future but also a but in the oresent

Completely agree I would give hime 25 min a night, he was supposed to be a good defender with more minutes I don't think he will look so bad, at least he will not get abused

I think the best deal could be in Denver, Murray, Chandler, Nurkic package for Sap, Splitter and Thabo

Real problem on the team is that we cannot defend big SF, I mean is not a coincidence Hayward had his best game of the season against us, same happens with Lebron, Melo, Crowder.... any big SF is going to have a feast against us, we just do not have any big SF to defend the position. Is not Baze's fault that he is destroyed on defense every game by Big SF, he is a SG playing out of position. of course he is not having a great season but our lack of size at this position and the need to play him is making him look more horrible.

I already wrote that he could fit better, not as good shooter as Korver of course but more suited to the SF position, has size and can rebound and defend better the SF, I think is an upgrade over Thabo too... of course if injuries respect him

This is simple, Boston won because they have an all-star PG who dominated and they exploded our weaknesses, our 5 not good at defending outside and the SF position that we cannot defend well due to lack of size. What we did? We could have tried to take advantage of their weakness but we did not, feed Howard on the post, they cannot defend him, take advantage o Thomas size, we did not use it. Howard only 4 touches, Schröder horrible on offense... So... teven with that only 2 pt difference at the end... I get the feeling Dunleavy can help at SF position, better than Thabo...

Denver is not trading Jokic for an expiring, no team would do that. we are not trading for Chandler and Gallinari, that would make us one of the worst defensive teams. a more realistic scenario would be Harris and Nurkic, I could see the Hawks doing that, not sure about Denver but at least is a fair trade

Of course not but I think we end cutting Scott to sign a FA PG
