  1. The marketing thing is so overrated. Build a winner. Stop worrying about who is "marketable."
  2. My non-Hawk teams are Sac and OKC. Like those squads.
  3. I'm just trying to see where our growth is going to come from. JJ could be a game changer for us. If it's just more of my turn/your turn Trae and DJM, I'm not bullish on that as a winning formula.
  4. Quin S. has his work cut out for him. This feels like a .500 team.
  5. I love what Presti has done in OKC. What an exciting young team.
  6. We have one hope for improvement, and that's emergence of Jalen Johnson.
  7. I don't think they are taking discounts so the team can afford to max out some other guy. More likely they felt comfortable here, and told their agents not to play hard ball.
  8. Not to be dismissive of your personal anecdote, but that's highly unlikely. At any rate, OO is not going to be an inch taller than he was last year.
  9. Soth, once you stop growing, that's it. You dont stop growing for 5 years and then start growing again. Go look at photos of OO from high school. He was an early bloomer, not a late bloomer.
  10. Who don't they just say he's 7ft?. If you're fudge the numbers, go all in on it. Say Trae is 6'4" while they are at it.
  11. Um no. OO literally hasn't grown since like 10th grade. Look at his old pictures where he is towering over Lamelo Ball. That's not how growth works. Probably just how he was measured or a wink-wink PR move. Photographic evidence will show he is the same height as before. He will be noticeably slightly shorter than players who are actually 6'10".
  12. The irony being he's actually undersized.
  13. No reason for the Clippers to cave. Who is going to outbid them?
  14. The lack of energy is palpable after our lackluster off-season.

    King Kong

    Three years in the league and he still hasn't averaged over 10 points a game in any season. Not sure he even deserves a nickname.
  16. Our team is perfect as constructed. No need to make any changes.
  17. Most boring off season ever. Hawks brass is in a state of suspended animation.
  18. When he's healthy and feeling right, he can flat out ball.
  19. He can do what he did in Brooklyn. Play so bad the team has no choice but to trade him. Or he can malinger until he gets a trade like K. Leonard did.
  20. Many players declined when it became clear premiere stars would not be attending.
  21. They aren't trading Embiid. The fact that Morey didn't offer Harden a max extension perhaps is a sign he's finally coming to his senses. There is nothing worse than over paying/over extending past their prime players.
  22. Agreed, just work on your touch around the basket. He'll never be able to shoot.
