Ok so we're gonna pass up on the man who was snubbed the Player of the year title last season in college bball because of a knee problem? No sir, I'll take a young Danny granger type player all day in this system. Don't forget Granger was an all star before his career went down the crapper if he could just give us some of that in his tenure here we'd be right back atop the east

Send our pick and an asset like Hardaway,Splitter,or Teague to move up just enough to ensure that we get Denzel Valentine.

That's great! I sorta wish we would wear the old yellow ones.

Mike Scott would be a better option than everyone but green you named

When healthy he could be a better version of what Barbosa is for the Warriors for us. I wouldn't oppose to it, but DONT overpay...

No he wants a max and he's never on the floor. If he'd take something like Baze's contract then I'd consider it but he'll want a bigger contract

Don't get me wrong I would love derozan. He is actually the guy I believe we should target with everyone and their mother offering durant, but with that in mind like a said above we'd need a guy that can shoot and defend consistently against those types of guys that I listed an those would be hard to come by.

The thing with Demar is that you would IMO have to get rid of Al because you'd need a 3 that can shoot and defend. And we couldn't afford that if we wanted to sign Demar,Horf,and a good 3 like Barnes,Parsons,etc.

I think the hesitation with Kyle at the 3 is his defensive ability against the more athletic guys in the league on a nightly basis like LBJ,KD,Kawhi,Giannis,etc.

Yes please. Gets to the FT line, shown some ability to close games, plays with energy, and best thing about it he can play 2 or 3

If you ever want a youngins pov let me know! Main thoughts on the topics discussed 1.Kenny Atkinson first off is excellent in terms of development. Like y'all said he had his hands in the development of some of our more recent 3's in Baze,Carroll,etc. but I must say his coaching in game is quite iffy. It was mentioned that the coaches also develop and Kenny has a lot of development to do as a coach because from what I recall I believe he was given the duty of scouting some of the western conference teams in which we struggled against like Memphis,Phoenix,etc. that we should've handled easily but I digress and congrats to Kenny on his opportunity in Brooklyn. 2. The main trade piece that should be DEFINITELY be traded is Tiago. You can preach on his experience in the league and his well known fundamental style of play, but 10 million compared to what humph does for a fraction of that is a no brainer. 3.Blowing it up is not the move with this team. We actually really do have a good mix of youth/experience. And like it was said we are just one piece away from winning the east. So why blow it up? 4.Cant believe DENZEL VALENTINE was not mentioned. He's at the top of my list for people we could potentially draft. 5.Look forward to the draft special! Good job fellas

I wanna say what exactly is wrong with MCW? In Philly he was excellent. ROY showed great ability to be a possible star. When he was shockingly traded to the Bucks his play dipped a little, but that's expected learning a new system isn't it? I look at it like this... He's the absolutely perfect backup we need for Dennis. He makes up for his lack of size and plays good defense. Sure his shot isn't there yet, but he could definitely be a good backup for us like Livingston is for GSW. And I also had another idea.... Teague+1st for MCW+1st? Would they do that? Then with that 10th pick we could get Sabonis,Brown,etc.

I'm assuming Patterson,Baze,and possibly THJ are gone this offseason anyways but I get what you're saying and that's why I say *insert Harrison Barnes*

They have shown some slight intrest in Teague especially at the trade deadline so I have some offers that are intresting to speculate whether they're even or not.... Teague for Middleton Teague+1st for Jabari Parker Teague+2nd for Henson+MCW Teague+Splitter+1st for Monroe idk just some ideas I really like what Milwaukee has

That's why I said Tavares do green giant impressions

I meant "3" as in shoot the 3 and play defense

1.5/10 needed more Tavares making green giant impressions

Ok just throwing a name out there... Iggy anyone? Knows how to lockdown Lebron. Only issue I see if contract/age. But would he be opposed to restructure if we was to try an trade for him?

Baze and HB is the most realistic combo imo. But Courtney Lee should be signed most definitely and idc if that's if we do or don't resign Kent. He's a perfect 3/D guy.

Here is the thing.... We can count Lebron out. He has a goal out their in Cleveland that he has not achieved and won't achieve this season because GSW is gonna wrap this thing up in 5 games max. So that's a big fat no. KD on the other hand is a legit possibility. Say what you will but we have everything he needs to contend. All-Star supporting cast? Yep. Spurs like play? Yep. A track record for making it to the postseason so he knows it's not a huge risk? Yup. And lastly are we in the east? Yep. But here's the issue. How do you get him to see what we see here in Atlanta?

I mean it's not for a lack of defense as to why we lost on the perimeter throughout the season.

That Cleveland team yall are scared of won't stay as in tact for long. JR is on contract year,Mosgov,Love/Irving is in the trade rumors,Lebron on contract. Something will have to change in their organization to keep the pieces they think can win them a ring. We're not the only ones stuck in a bind you know...

I mean honestly the creator of this thread has excellent points. The teams that usually challenge Lebron is the physical ones with the shot blockers. Pacers=Roy Hibbert Raptors=Biyombo Spurs=Duncan/Splitter GSW=Varejao/Bogut/Ezeli Bulls=Noah

Excellent point. That's why I'm loving this Noel/Teague deal. It would make us a tougher/younger team. Then if you sign one of them GSW's wings in the offseason (Iggy/Barnes) then we'd be really cooking with gas to run this conference.

Alright alright alright let's do it.... 1.Sign Harrison Barnes. The kid will more than likely be walking because of GSW commitment to possibly signing durant. Plus they need the money to resign curry next offseason. So welcome to Atlanta our legit 3D guy. 2. 20+ point guy is not necessary don't fool yourself. GSW just one game one of the finals out of straight team ball. 3.Nerlens Noel/Edy you decide but we have already gotten this covered one way or another.
