Didn't see this one coming at all! Huge deal. Now that this is taken care of, gotta build the rest of the roster around them.

The FA class ain't great but we can offer the full MLE I believe

You're right, thought he was at like $10M but he's at $17M! This is interesting.

Don't have the stats in front of me but he's a mediocre defender, rebounder, shooter who doesn't get easy baskets or get to the foul line. For some reason he always goes nuclear on us but we got 2 centers better than him on the roster

Clips trying to unload Morris. They got any picks left? I'd take him in our TPE for a pick.

A guy I really like who is primed for stardom is Austin Reaves. That kid is really good and will (I hate to say it) probably be a better 2 than Murray next year. Can we SnT Murray for Reaves?

Fair take.

I doubt it tbh

Move Capela to the bench. Then we've got 48 minutes of strong C play (OO + Cap) and PG play (Trae + Murray). Bey probably starts at 4. Trae/Kobe Murray/Griffin Hunter/Bogi Bey/JJ OO/Cap We've got the MLE and a big TPE too. I'd be looking for a 2 way wing with those but they don't grow on trees.

All his moves range from positive (Snyder, Bey and Kobe) to understandable/defensible (Collins, much as it pains me to see him go). I was worried when Schlenk was let go as I was a fan but feel MUCH better now. I just pray Tony doesn't Ressle too much control from him.

JCs an awesome dude. He'll be missed

All things considered I guess it makes the most sense to me. Replacements on the roster, fit issues and biggest gap between production and contract (other than ... Well, I don't want this thread to hit 10 pages)

What's your take on the word hubris? Edit: just read this whole thread. Wow.

I think he's the biggest loss too. Maybe Collins can man backup C but I worry about our defense whenever Bey is playing next to him. Fascinating season upcoming, work your magic Q!

I voted under. I think Hunter is gone, he'll be easier to move than Collins IMO. It'd be awesome if Capela is cool coming off the bench because CC was our 2nd/3rd best player last year. Question is, if you could move one of Murray, Hunter, Collins or Capela, who is it?

You the bomb.

@AHF no clue, I'm not the most technologically savvy tbh. I haven't been able to react outside of regular likes either. Been trying to give @Spud2nique the emojis he deserves.

Wasn't familiar with him, but that kind of tape really pops for a second rounder. I like it.

^^Waiting isn't the worst thing. We've got talent and I expect Quinn to maximize it. If we need to get under the luxury tax, Snyder will make a lot of our guys more tradable.

Not familiar with Mr. Lundy, but preliminary scouting I like. Between this guy and Bufkin I've gained confidence in Fields/Korver. We'll miss Schlenk's scouting eye but our current guys are competent in that department.

Unable to quote @JayBirdHawk, but I suspect we take the best deal for Murray, Hunter or Collins to free up some of our logjams and get under the tax. If the deals knock our socks off maybe we trade 2 of them. Sacramento, Indiana and Charlotte have cap and would probably like Hunter or Collins. Move Capela to the bench and we're golden. Edit: @NBASupes I like the snippet from the article. I think this is going to take some patience particularly because we've got a lot of very talented young guys on the roster. Bufkin, Griffin, JJ still on rookie contracts, Bey and OO up for extensions. Those players are more talented and versatile than our current frontcourt but they aren't quite ready yet.

Seeing a handful of folks unimpressed with the pick. Nobody is a sure thing, but he will impress you. Give him a year or two and he'll be what DJ was supposed to be.

Doing my bi-annual log in to say I love the pick. The only guard I had clearly above him was Scoot. He can play the 2 and I think he's got all-star potential. Trae, Kobe, Griffin, JJ, OO is gonna bring us a chip in a few years.

By the end of it I expect him to be the best Hawk of all time.
