  1. Agree with adding a veteran center but don't think Dwight is the answer. I think this may mean that Collins re-signing is more of a priority and Hawks have to up their offer.
  2. Next season, we should be able to keep everyone we want. In fact, the only players I wouldnt bring back is Tony Snell and Brandon Goodwin. Want to use Snell & Lou's cap hold to give Collins his improved contract. I'll like to bring back Lou and Solo if they accept veteran minimum deals. Snell & Goodwin's roster spot is to be replaced through the draft.
  3. I'm fine with drafting a rookie PG to replace Goodwin and bringing Lou back. If Lou wants a multi-year deal, then the 2nd year must be a team option. I also think a fully fit Kris Dunn will get some minutes at backup PG next season. And of course Bogi can handle some spot minutes at PG while Trae is resting.
  4. This is low priority if Collins re-signs. Very happy with a Collins-Gallinari combo at 4 and Capela-Okongwu at 5. If Solo Hill re-signs at a vet minimum, he is fine for a 3rd string option at 4. Same with bringing back Nathan Knight as 3rd string center. I dont think we need to look for external options on the market unless Collins wants out for more cash.
  5. Offer him 4 years, $100m with incentives. Slight increase from our initial $90m offer. If he rejects this, then shop him to other teams for a sign and trade deal. I think he is too consistent to be worth a max deal right now. He can make more money if he hits his incentive targets eg All-star game selection. Games played, etc
  6. Not sure why Young hasn’t handled the ball since checking back in. what is Nate doing?
  7. Nate McMillan got out coached by Bud. I can’t believe Nate couldn’t find any minutes for Reddish or Dunn. Especially when Middleton was going off.
  8. We needed this loss, not because we are better as underdogs. We needed it to get much needed playing time into Reddish and Dunn. Jrue is a problem offensively and I think Dunn needs to get more minutes next game to lock him down. Reddish is needed next games as Bogi is a massive liability at the moment.
  9. Methinks that Coach McMillan is old school and would chew out Collins for wearing that. Be humble in Victory, don't rub it in.
  10. Starting lineup change: Bogi for Gallo. Regardless if Bogi is cleared to play. If Reddish has been cleared medically, then I want him to take Solo's minutes.
  11. Agree and the 'Nique trade for Danny Manning is the worst
  12. How did Trae miss that? That was a gimme
  13. Agree with this and Schlenk did the right thing by trading Rondo to free up more cash for Collins next season.
  14. If Hawks were dead last, you could take a chance on Hammon, because the team can’t get any worst. But Hawks are not last. Despite the teams inconsistency, the team has been in a playoff spot for most of the season despite injuries to key players, They just need a experienced head coach that knows how to win. Lloyd Pierce is not that coach and the Hawks need to move on from him before they make big decisions such as trading John Collins. Hammon is not the right person for the job. Someone like Doc Rivers would of been perfect, but we missed the boat on him.
  15. 3 losses and each loss Hawks have been up big. I can handle losses but choking after a big lead I can’t.
  16. Bogdanovic needs to step up and take pressure of Trae
  17. Pierce needs to give Bruno’s minutes to Knight
  18. I'm liking both Reddish and Hunter in the starting lineup and Bogdan off the bench. He looked comfortable handling the ball and running the 2nd unit.
  19. I have similar minutes. Apart from Trae, most positions will be a timeshare. PG - Young 36 Rondo 12 SG - Bogdon 26, Huerter 12, Dunn 10 SF - Reddish 20 Hunter 12 Snell 10 Huerter 6 PF - Gallinari 24 Collins 16 Hunter 8 C - Capela 24 Okongwu 12 Collins 10 Fernando 2
  20. Sorry for my ignorance but who is McRib???
  21. My rankings 1. Edwards 2. Okoro 3. Ball 4. Okonguru 5. Wiseman 6. Toppin
