I've been trying access the mobile chat. No bueno.

I knew I wasn't crazy! Whew. Lol

To the first, Bazemore? Really...eh... To the second, injuries played a part but we did rely a lot on the jumpshot throughout the season as well. No one to create scoring opportunities if the shots weren't falling. Teague did it here and there but... Not enough. There was also the whole rebounding thing... Rebounding should be resolved this season. Someone that can handle and create... Idk, maybe THJr if he becomes what some think he'll be.

Also, I kind of feel like Bud is a little overrated in player development. Did players improve? Sure but let's not go crazy here.

Oh wait Oubre was 15th or something wasn't he? I don't remember the PG. My mistake. Carry on.

The comparison is in trading the 19th for THJr. I think theres a possiblity that Oubre was raw and had tools that Bud could've potentially molded into the SF we're lacking vs a player that may be who he is. Sure THjr is pretty young and may be molded as well but as an SG. Time will tell. However, I'm not convinced that we could've gotten him for less.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Thabo brought in mainly for defense with offense being the bonus? If so, the comparison to THJr isn't really valid as THJr is here for offense with defense being the bonus.

Honestly, I'd still rather hear that he worked on his post moves.

I know you said it, that's why I said it so that it can be said again. Keep up man. One Star response., {/sarcasm} Actually I just read what you had written wrong. My bad. Lol

I think we still are a piece or two away to be honest. *shrug

Technically, we DID draft one.

He's got better post moves than Horf does.... lol. Mark me as "on board. "

So remind me why so many people want this guy? Does he fill a need or two?

Kind of underwhelming

Maybe, but wouldn't that have more or less put us in the same position at SF? (No pun intended) Just that time we'd still have a body on the roster to throw in a few mins a game. But too late to talk about what ifs I guess.

Kind of looks like we should've kept Oubre. Ah well... Who's next to sign?

Why do we even need one? That's what Europe is for! /Sarcasm

At highest, I could see Al at around 85... but 83 seems about right to me.

Man.... Just another episode of "As The Hawks Turn." Drama every off-season. Ridiculous.

Good to see Al working on his game. That said and I can't say it enough, I hope he's REALLY working on his post play. He can't rely solely on that midrange J.

I agree. ECFs are our ceiling this coming season. Will that happen? Hard to say. Things would have to go as smoothly as they did last season, before ASW. We'll see how it all plays out. One game at a time.

Al has a quickness advantage over most C's. Especially when they have to guard him around the perimeter. Sure he doesn't exploit that often but he does. Against other PFs I don't see what advantage he really has. Maybe if he had a post game but as of his game now? Just don't see it. *shrugs* That said, I'm also curious to see how he plays alongside Splitter.

We've only been playing him at the position he's most effective at. Even if he is a natural PF, he has more advantages offensively as a C.

Unlikely. Solely because BudCox will never give the fanbase what they want in terms of signing players (not that they SHOULD listen to the base's forum GMs about that). They'd rather sign a waived past prime player who would barely play, for the last roster spot. Lol
