He’s a little puke stain.  Honestly surprised he hasn’t taken more hard fouls.  It didn’t surprise me nobody took a legit shot at him in college, but at this level I thought somebody would have laid him out by now.

Are the Hawks a solid squad or are the Bulls that bad?  Impossible to know right now, but I think the Bulls are very bad.  The Hawks have depth and shooters everywhere and that can’t be disputed.

Not true at all. They are exploring all their options. Typically teams make the team with the offer sheet wait the full 48 hours before making a decision.  They want to tie up Atlanta's capspace so Atl can't make anymore moves.

I am not saying they will match the offer or not.  They are doing what’s in their best interest, like any other team would do.  I get that part.  

My guess is the Kings are exploring all of their options before deciding on Bogdan.  It makes to see what is available to them via a trade and I bet what they find will ultimately decide what they do.  I think the longer they wait to decline the less chance he is a Hawk.

If the Kings match the offer can the Hawks swing a trade for BB still?

We are quick to forget our GMs continuous words about "Character guys" and a certain 25 game drug suspension. 

Moreover, Edwards is said if he reaches his ceiling will be a HOF player.   Can we say the same about Collins?

 

Clearly character means nothing.  See Rondo.

I have liked everything the Hawks did the last 24 hours or so until this.  Rondo is a punk through and through. Not a guy you want around mentoring anyone.

Will Collins be traded?  It’s a valid question.  Smart money in my opinion is that he will not be traded.  Unless there is a can’t miss deal that makes the Hawks better now and in the future.

The signing of Gallo tells me the brass likes the group in Atlanta right now.  A veteran shooter like Gallo is just what this team needed.  If anything I think the signing is a sign they are ready to make a serious push in the eastern conference. 

Army from 05-12.  

Very solid signing.  He is going to give a good effort on defense and the results will be awesome.  Loved him in college and think he was expected to be a offensive threat early on in his nba career.  That’s not who he is.  He should slide into his role here and do very well.

No surprise here, but I would like Bryn Forbes as another shooter off the bench.  Don’t ask me about defense if him and Young are on the court together, but man the offense would be fun to watch.

Y’all are Stressing too much about minutes. All of our core + capella + Gallo easily will average 28+ and then some. Depthhhhhh. It’s been awhile since I’ve been this excited. Minus a blockbuster trade - Collins is going nowhere. 

Good point.  There is a good chance that only 2/3 will be playing at a time anyway.  Injuries or suspensions lol.

Man we gotta get BB.  I see 45-50 wins with a lineup of Trae, BB, Cam, Collins, and Capela. A bench of Teague, Huerter, Hunter, Gallo, and Okongwu!  You kidding me?  That’s some serious depth that we haven’t had in ages. 

Who is BB?

A lot of coin for a guy who misses quite a bit of time due to injuries.  Had a strong year on a meh OKC team so hope he can be productive alongside Trae and company.

Off topic.  Bilas looks terrible.

Damn.  He might be done until 2022.

 

Yikes.  Opposite legs?  Klay is one of the better players to watch.  Big time shame.

How much longer until we pick again?

2021

Anyone else find it extremely funny the Knicks acquired the draft rights for someone drafted in 2008?

Hayes is a bigger Tony Parker.

Mountain Dew sponsoring the draft or something?
