JJ is not a superstar to build around...... yet.

99.9% of sports talk radio personalities are ridiculously biased towards hot takes and don't take in consideration actual statistics.

IMO, you need to start swapping the other pieces besides JJ, Trae, and DJM before you talk about rebuilding.

 

Capela, Bogi, Bey, Dre, OO... they all suck and need to go

It was that bum ass steak Shapiro show ..just spewing none sense 

I would do that Middleton trade in a heartbeat. 

If we can get siakam for Hunter that would be great ..I don’t want to resign siakam if he leaves in the off-season cool we dumped Hunter salary and now we have capital to add more pieces 

What the hell is coach pierce doing taking Trae and Collins out ?

If people are calling Zion a generational player then what is RJ Barrett ? Someone that’s better than him.

I think this may have been mentioned, but let's say the Hawks get the number 1 pick, would you trade it to a team really wanting Zion, if they feel let's say a Cam Reddish is number 1 on their board?   I'd do it all day to get an unprotected pick in a future draft. 

To me give me  any combination of Zion, Cam, Bol Bol, Romeo Langford,  Kevin Porter, Jr., Daniel Gafford or Naz Reid and I'll be a happy camper.

I’ll do it in a heart beat..To me it’s 

barrett 

cam

zion 

in that order 

Barret or Reddish those are the best prospects for the hawks 

Give me Barrett or Reddish...Reddish is 6’10 and plays like a PG

Mavs pick is top 5 protected and it looks we might be a little better than originally thought. Those top prospects might be out of our reach. No one has discussed anyone besides Barrett, Reddish, and Zion. It might be time to investigate some less heralded prospects.

It’s still early..and a lot of teams in the east are hobbled right now.

All depends on The Huert’s trajectory and if he ascends toward Klay-esqueness. I’d love to see it, don’t know if he has it in him, he could end up a great 6th man sniper. Let’em fight it out. Have to admit, a Young/Barrett/Prince/Collins 4some would be something else.

What if we give up prince...and get Barrett..young/Barrett/Huerter/Collins

Pencil in Barrett or Reddish at bench SG with Bembry/Anderson/Spellman/Len and that’s a savvy 2nd unit.

Barrett def won’t be coming off the bench if we get him

That and there's really not enough traffic here to where you can put him on ignore. He's in literally every thread haha. 

Have yall not notice if you ignore him when he post he post even more ? It’s funny I wish yall would skip right over his post he hates being ignored 

Wasn’t happy with the play but happy with the loss ??‍♂️

Definitely needs to shoot when he is open.  Strange to not see him taking open looks which is what taking the game as it comes should mean doing.

I am excited about his potential.  

Surprise Vince ain’t told him to shoot the f***ing ball ...lord knows I would’ve been yelling it 

He def trolled

Steph isn’t half white lmao klay is.

Imagine if we get RJ in the next draft, do you know how crazy our lineups will get

So should Portland tear everything down and tank?

They have a superstar and a future Hall of Famer in Lillard.  But in his 7 seasons, they've never gone past the 2nd round, nor have they won 55 games or more.

So should they tank, trade Lillard for picks, and play the lottery for the next 5 years?

Irony dame won’t eveb be in Portland in the next 5 years you can book it.

and lol @ using the kings as an example to back up your stupid idea of treadmilling, Kings failures is more on front office bullshit than anything. 

Def worth the tank if we get Barrett

This guy actually thinks a big time free agent will willingly come to a tanking team.  LOL!!  Also, LOL at the idea that Boogie Cousins is a big time free agent.  

This guy thinks I’m gonna give him the time of day. LOL!!

I don’t want anything more than 20 wins...I want that chance to draft RJ Barett and hope we can sign Boogie or a big name FA this offseason

I think we'll be BAD this year and next year, then start making a push for the playoffs tbh. We're just so young. And honestly, with our timeline, my preference would be to filter our $40M in cap next year into picks by taking on bad expirings one more year. Then let Young, Prince, Collins, Zion (?) and our 2020 pick lead us into the sunset.

Zion ? You mean RJ :)

You really need to get a grip or at least google what you are talking about so you don't look like a racist idiot yourself. Thug's origins came from India and was brought over to England dating back to the 14th Century. The word has never had anything to do with race and has always been used to define a person or persons violent and/or criminal behavior.

No you sound like a fool..I’m black I’m not an idiot I know what White people have been doing for years with using the word thug..don’t tell me shit about what I know and live only person here that’s ignorant are the people that’s taking up for this dumb banter by the OP. FOH.

I think he's taking about attitude. Trae Young is genuinely nice guy, which makes him ready to root for. As opposed to a star that is kinda an a-hole, like John Wall for example.

Same John Wall that is active in DC communities ? Nobody have to be nice on the court..majority of these guys grew up playing ball where talking that shit is apart of the culture..that’s basketball..not none of this you get a trophy and a pat on the back good boy bullshit OP is on.
