  1. Getting Dennis off the roster, clearing the cap space. Good Getting a fake first round pick way down the line is bleh (and I don't care for Justin Anderson). I'd be overjoyed even if it was just top 5 protected. "Had" might've been too reactionary.
  2. Lotto protected first four years down the line. Good god.. we've been had again.
  3. It depends on whether you buy into the lockerroom headache rumors or not.
  4. It'd be a pleasant surprise assuming Trae/Collins/Prince have a lot to do with it but 1. Not as many teams are tanking this year. Those 50/50 games that pro-tankers were stressing over are gonna be harder to come by. 2. Our improvement will have to be almost entirely internal: no additions besides rookies and Lin. 3. First year head coach.
  5. Instead we got a pick that is 5-7 years away from being a second.
  6. I like it, but that wasn't a Schlenk move.
  7. Again, it's not about trading for a PG. Our goal this offseason was supposed to be taking on bad salary for assets and here we have taken on bad salary for nothing. Only decent trade that Schlenk has made was for HOU 1st round pick tbh. Unfortunate that they turned out to be the best team in the NBA, but at least we sort of got something for letting Millsap walk.
  8. I'm in disbelief really. Only way I can rationalize this is by it being a part of a bigger deal because why would you help facilitate a deal that you, yourself, should be making.
  9. We got a 2025 second round pick for our troubles. Saw a few middle school kids at an AAU practice earlier in Augusta, I should've took notes.
  10. I saw a rumor of Melo to Brooklyn for Lin type deal the other day and that's the only thing giving me hope here.
  11. So about that trade negotiating consultant... Really hope this is part of a bigger move.
  12. Ball got hurt and Magic said no more lol. Trae should play as long as he/the coaches feels comfortable playing.
  13. Indeed, the other day I saw Trae Young in the lead off highlights for ESPN. Now obviously they quickly shifted to bashing his shooting numbers, but hey nobody in sports media has cared enough about a Hawks player in a while.
  14. He's like IT. Small guys that end up on the ground a lot are gonna get calls.
  15. Major attitude red flags. His talent was never a problem.
  16. This Knox hype is classic NYK shit. How many of his makes were just open dunks?
  17. I liken them more to Westbrook types of hero ball threes lol. Kind of rushed and panicked looking.
  18. Exactly this. He's gotta establish that he can and will take those bombs and that'll open up the offense. But sometimes feels like he's taking them just to take them.
  19. Trae's passing is special. The open threes will fall eventually. You can tell he's lived in Oklahoma his whole life though because he has a lot of Westbrook in his shot selection. My thing with him is you gotta let him take some of those bad shots but it's all gotta be under control at the same time.
  20. Having a guy that can make those at a respectable clip (Trae can when he's not in a slump) is so valuable to an offense though. His main thing will be finding the right time to take them, I don't like when the Hawks get a stop and he fires that up in transition. Teammate's wasting their energy.
  21. Omari Spellman literally thinks he's Draymond Green lmao. Fun to watch.
