  1. Hands were somewhat tied. Hawks didn't have as much leverage as I thought. Schlenk is probably thinking that improving the locker room mood can help turn the team around in the short term.
  2. Honestly, taking an objective look at this deal (assuming that this is the only major move made at the deadline), it clearly gives more opportunity to Dre, Kevin, and Bogi to step up and produce more. Too many cooks in the kitchen may have been a hinderance to some of our guys, and at least this move clears up more opportunity for guys on the team. Call it addition by subtraction (although I wish we could’ve at least gotten a top-10 protected pick).
  3. Apparently Cam asked for a trade to a team that would give him an increased role.
  4. One thing that is glaringly obvious is that you need someone besides Trae that can run the show when Trae doesn't have it that night. It would also help if guys could've made their shots as well.
  5. I'll cut him some more slack. He's only 8 games into his second and is still making rookie mistakes. I'm confident he'll overcome it.
  6. That "Let's go Heat" chant at the end was embarrassing. Smh.
  7. Heat play hard no matter who is on the floor.
  8. I didn't know we were playing the Heat AND the refs tonight.
  9. This is the part of the game that scares me, when Trae sits.
  10. Hawks playing... defense!?!?
  11. I need TLC to not let Duncan Robinson breathe tonight. Wherever Duncan goes, TLC goes.
  12. One thing I'll say is that I really envy the Miami Heat's scouting department. They've been able to find diamonds in the rough in 2nd round picks and undrafted free agents like Max Strus, Gabe Vincent, Duncan Robinson, Omer Yurtseven, Caleb Martin, etc. Excluding Duncan Robinson's contract, all of their contracts combined is less than ~$5 million.
  13. He's not a scrub but I can see Max Strus going off.
  14. You can tell that this was directly from Daryl Morey. Star or bust.
  15. I agree. Nate should expand the play book to feature Collins more. And I'm not just talking about more post ups for John.
  16. I wish it were the case, but Morey is dead set on getting another star to pair with Embiid.
  17. Just speculating since the only top guy available is Ben Simmons, and Daryl Morey doesn't seem to be budging from his asking price.
  18. Even if we were to trade for him, those aren't realistic trades for Denver. Jeff Green has played a really important role for Denver ever since MPJ went down. His value is much higher than that of Lou Williams or Solomon Hill.
  19. If we're going to make a minor trade this deadline, I'd want to see Travis go out and try to get a better PNR backup PG. Delon is better as an off ball guard with us. Our offense stagnates when he's running the show.
  20. The answer is no. He really needs to improve his shot creation ability. Too many times he gets pushed out of position when he gets touches in the post, and he really doesn't have any off the dribble shot creation ability yet. I think if he gets better in one of those 2 areas, he can raise the ceiling of this team.
  21. He's our longest tenured coach, dating back to the last year of the Budenholzer era, and most importantly, he has our guys respect. Get these guys to buy in on defense and fix those damn rotations that Prunty messed up these past couple games.
  22. Lakers game plan was to attack Trae Young, A LOT.
