He is about to go viral. With the recent death in his family, I think he is coping.

Yeah, religion is one thing I don't really debate with people. I respect whatever people believe or don't believe. Feel free to feel what you feel as long as you aren't trying to force it on other people. AJ doesn't seem to be doing that here either. I like how his faith helps keep going and be positive about life. Lol TRUE!

That's where I'm at. Good faith keeps him grounded, but that entire end times part is what people were debating with him about. I understand AJ's point. I also understand the counter points of people have been saying these are the end days since the 1700's.

There are more posts about the fit issue in this thread than the not re-signing issue. The fit issue isn't about the spacing and 3P Shooting. It's about can you have a front court of two 6'8" players and be successful. Does Jalen Johnson fit with Siakim and his skillset? Does Dejounte? The answer is yeah, it can work, but would it be the best for the Hawks. In my opinion, NO! That's the only reason I wanted KAT because he makes everyone that we currently have on the roster fit into a nice role and the skillsets compliment each other. You can say yeah, the defense may suck. The defense may suck with Siakiam too with a much worse offensive impact.

I would remove Jalen and Siakiam from this and Add KAT who makes more sense to me from a roster construction stand point. He makes OO starting make a lot more sense for us.

PG - Trae Young SG - Desmond Bane SF - OG PF - Onyeka Center - Jokic Edit: I must have been under a rock, I didn't realize that SGA was first team all nba and 5th in MVP voting. That's really wild.

Can you make that work under the salary cap or are we just using @TheNorthCydeRises criterion?

You'll never get a response to this because someone just wants to argue about Trae Young's talent. I'm glad y'all have matured enough not to take the bait and just let some people be miserable as they root against their star player.

Absolutely not!

Yes, I'd hate to have to give that type of money to Tatum.

All about the fit! We gawk at these numbers, but with the way the salary cap is rising, it's going to be like any other max/super max. Boston is going to be in trouble if they can't get the most out Brown and Tatum in the next year or two though.

This really is wild. If someone hadn't mentioned Trae gets players better shots, we wouldn't have this weird debate that coaches have no impact on where players are getting their looks from. Literally against Boston Quin told Jalen and John they had to shoot the three point shot to open up spacing. Jalen was a great example of letting it fly. He hit some big ones and missed a lot, but it's about the process of not hesitating when you have an open look.

You should do this with true shooting percentages too.

Pushed back to September if it's going to happen per the "insiders" earlier in the thread.

But you're against KAT's salary, but can rationalize this foolishness?

The insiders said the Wolves wanted Saddiq Bey so you don't have to include any of the youngins in there. We are essentially taking on a super max for a non super max player. There's value in that. If the Wolves covet bey, you send him and filler and Capela out with a first round pick. That cap savings is worth a ton.

Never thought I'd see KAT fan fiction.

Not my money. The Cap is being smooth, but it's still going to go up more than it has before.

Team KAT. I'm more about roster fit. KAT will not hurt our defensive ranking from last year and I think Quinn would get some improvement there. With the offense we will have we'd only have to be top 15 defensively to make a run. Just getting Siakim will cause roster construction problems which I can not over look. I prefer KAT. This!

Shits about to go down!

Welcome to my burner account.

I'm hoping for more of a

Could be, but the roster still makes more sense trading for him than either Brown or Siakam. You can't really argue that point.

You don't realize it, but you are talking yourself into why KAT makes sense.
