Happy birthday @Gray Mule!

Little known fact, Chicago had the 11th rated defense last season. East - Nets, if healthy. Otherwise Hawks . West - Phoenix or Utah. If healthy, I would probably put Denver ahead of both teams. The Lakers will be starting the corpse of Dwight Howard or Marc Gasol at center. Good luck with that.

Yeah, that part will be interesting. It's just interesting how the narrative around Rich Paul has made some think he's a terrible agent. When in fact, so far, he's gotten most of his players exactly what they wanted. Considering the talent he's had as a part of his agency, his negotiations probably aren't too tough. He also has way more clout now because of all the talent at his agency. Teams can't piss him off about his lower tier guys if they want some of his upper tier guys. I'll just wait for things to play out.

You don't know this. Let this play out in court.

I think he has the ability to be the Hawks "Draymond".

Good Hawks and Knicks fans discussion happening now . https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1ZkJzeRkrpgGv

Trae gifting the fam the swag early.

I'd jump for joy if Kevin Huerter signed this contract.

Whoa! Nique can still dunk!

I have another question. Is Kevin Huerter a top 10 pick in a 2018 redraft? I think he is. 1. Luka 2. Trae 3. Ayton 4. Michael Porter Jr. 5. SGA 6. Collin Sexton 7. Jaren Jackson Jr. 8. Mikal Bridges 9. Kevin Huerter 10. - Pick em

Brad's come a long way from thinking John Collins wasn't a starter

Actually they were. The Hawks and Knicks were one of the consistently highest rated first round series. Maybe not always the highest.. Kind of what happens when you a have the #1 and #7 media markets matching up.

Cleveland is accumulating some decent young talent. Interesting to see how it will all fit.

I never said Miami wasn't better than Chicago. I said they are in the same tier of teams. We can make a avatar bet that Miami will finish in 5th -8th like they have the past few seasons.

What team is Tauren on now?

I was personally really low on him by being a casual and not studying his film. After looking over the film and seeing him in summer league, I'm super excited to see how he grows in the next few years. He's def a top 10 lottery talent.

lol.. I'd prefer JJ in the backup role and Capela still in the starting lineup.

From Philly's asking price Simmons will be on the team. Again, as currently constructed the Sixers are the same team that was the number one seed. Simmons can be pissed all he wants, but I still think he'll go out there and play well. In my opinion, Miami is in the same tier as the Bulls. Edit: I am a Miami hater btw. I just see them in the 5th - 8th range which is still a very solid playoff team.

Jalen Johnson putting in work on that jumper. His catch and shoot attempts were pretty elite in college. If he can work on getting his off the bounce mid-range shooting to slightly above league average, he's going to be a beast!

I can understand this line of thinking. However, Simmons can't hold out. He'll have to play. If he doesn't play he won't get paid. It'll probably be a breach of contract. He may play so crappy that they trade him like James Harden, but he'll play nonetheless. I'll still take a team of Joel Embiid with shooters surrounding him over Maimi. I just don't believe in Miami. As I spelled out in other posts, Jimmy's on the decline. I don't believe Lowry will make that big of a difference. The only way Miami improves this season is if Bam, Herro, and Robinson make significant jumps.

Miami is not better than the 76ers. What has Miami done that makes everyone think they are going to make significant jump in the standings? Joel Embiid alone makes the 76ers better than the Heat.

I guess this is the result of the Maria Taylor fall out. Rachel no longer has to explain why we Hawks fans shouldn't expect the Hawks to be Eastern Conference finalists this year. Update:

I'm done...I actually enjoy Peoria it's just the Bogi agenda is getting out of hand and tiresome to see it on repeat.

Do you always have to play victim and I haven't attacked you once. I just agreed with your post.
