  1. Stop it with the Bruno shit. Lol. This is gonna be a rough season, we can’t stop a nosebleed and offense is just random at best. Clint is still the best center on the team but if we look like this might as well start OO and see. But please stop it with Bruno.
  2. Damn I didn’t get to see the game but I kinda had been thinking lately that they should just let Trae be Trae because he absolutely refused to even think about moving without the ball last year. So this kinda confirms what I was worried about the team need to pick a direction and that direction wasn’t picked this offseason.
  3. But I think it could work with Trae actually deciding to move with out the ball more. Siakam would be another good passer to set up Trae and for that matter DJ or Bey for wide open looks. Siakam can also get CC looks outside the pick and rolls. Siakam usually starts his moves seemingly an endless amount of them pretty far out of the lane as he comes in at unpredictable angles that allow him to make all kinds of decisions with the ball. Yes he’s only shots 33% from three but he can keep defenders honest.
  4. So if Siakam were to sign an extension then yeah it would suck to give up OO and his D especially in the Postseason but Siakam is just a next level top 20-30 guy. Adding in Hunter we got Bey or AJ to step in add Mills is what he is and one 1st. Keep CC and pair him up with Siakam. You still have your 6th man in Bogi and AJ and JJ. We would need to get a cheap defensive center. Hell yeah I’d do that trade if he agreed to an extension. It’d hurt to see OO go but yes I’d make the trade.
  5. You’re just negative about everything. I’ve thought hard about just ignoring you because of it. It’s not a stab in the back to be brought up in trade talks when you’re a professional athlete. That’s the business. I bet Pascal isn’t crying his name is being talked about he still wants to be Toronto right?
  6. What? These guys are professionals they know what a GMs job is. AJ especially knows how the NBA works as his dad was traded multiple times during his career. They’re young guys yes but they’re not the star of team maybe then they could feel some way but otherwise you know it’s the NBA and hear guys say it all the time. They know the reality of the league.
  7. The Hawks most important decision should be to improve the team not get under the LT. Now if they can’t make a deal that works to make the team better then it doesn’t happen but if the main goal was to get under the tax and then not use their exceptions then Trae who is a competitor who wants to win should start thinking about asking for a trade himself. I’m holding out hope that if they can get Siakam then ownership will say now go out and use your MLE and whatever else and make the team as competitive as possible.
  8. Al Horford has averaged 12.5 points, 8.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 167 games in the playoffs in his career. I used to have my own nickname for Al when he was here I called him the Magician because he’d disappear in big moments. No he was never a top 10 player.
  9. WTF and we’re waiving T. Martin. I rather have just kept him.
  10. I believe the Heat have two tradable 1st round draft picks possibly 3 if they change protections on a different trade. They don’t have the mvp of the league on their team but I understand teams looking for the moon. Same as with Siakam I think the teams being talked about the most are the teams that’ll end up making deals but Portland and Toronto are going to hold on to hope as long as they can. I think teams might jump in and snag either of them but I’d put my money on Miam and Atlanta getting their respective guy in the end. Vegas has odds on both players next team Siakam -155 Toronto +200 Atlanta +275 Brooklyn +700 any other team Lillard +200 Miam +550 Philadelphia +650 Minnesota +750 Toronto Vegas usually knows what they’re doing and has the odds in their favor
  11. I just tried the trade machine and basically with Hunter combined with Mills and then if you include AJ then add any player on the team making less than AJ so Vic Bruno JJ Mathews. All those trades work.
  12. So what was Tor getting in three team trade from us and Dal again? Hunter THJ and a 1st from us. And Bey? Or what was it exactly. Anyway sounds like we have the better offer
  13. I can’t quote anyone but on the topic of if this trade goes down as discussed and the SF position. Terrance Ross is still out there wouldn’t cost much and we’ve seen him plenty go off against us and still has that three ball cooking. Just saying I’m not worried about it. Just hoping this trade goes through.
  14. I don’t see Minn giving up on their experiment this early similar to the Hawks with Trae and DJM. And I don’t see any other way to put this team into contention other than getting Siakam. It would be a bit disappointing seeing us going into the season 8 million under the cap and not making any significant improvements. But if the right deal isn’t there than all we can hope for is some monumental improvement from the young players.
