It is OK to admit that you like who ESPN tells you to like.  That’s how most of the pro tankers rate the prospects.  

So you sit down and take notes on all the prospects watch hundreds of games on all the prospects watch everything they say you are truly the goat dude how do you do that AND be a doctor you are truly a specimen. You must have some deep insiders also to say that Bamba doesn't like basketball.

I have no issue accepting when I’m wrong, when I’m actually wrong.  

So pull up stats that prove your case that he isn't a top 10 prospect. He was statistically the best defender in the big 12 a year ago while having the ability to shoot 3s.

Fluff article.  

LMAO I'm crying how delusional you are! I want some fluff article saying that scouts agree with you. several stats in there show remarkable improvements in a single year and show that he had a significantly better freshman season than Thabeet did. You are to narrow minded to accept being wrong so I'm done trying to convince you.

Similar lack of skills, and also similar disinterest in basketball.  

http://www.nba.com/article/2018/03/16/texas-mohammed-bamba-feature-2018-nba-draft You just spew inaccuracies for a living. He is significantly more skilled as a freshman than Thabeet was every stat shows it.

There will be no incentive to tank after this year so there will be no tanking strategy going forward

I think the hawks are still in the deep lottery next year with a probable top 5 pick.

He is more Hasheem Thabeet than Rudy Gobert.  

By what numbers??? As a freshman Thabeet averaged 6 ppg. Wow I can’t believe this lmao.

5 minutes ago, KB21 said:

He’s a zero on offense.  He isn’t even close to the same skill set as Jaren Jackson, who is also a better defender.  

He was top 10 in the big 12 in TS%! Some of the stuff you say is just ludacris. With everything I’ve said you really think he is not a top 10 prospect name the 10 guys you would draft over him

You don’t have to suck for years to get a HOF caliber player.  

History says it is more likely at the top of the draft.

20 hours ago, KB21 said:

Bamba isn’t even a top 10 prospect in this draft, much less the guy who has the most potential.  

The most potential is clearly Ayton, but he’s also the least likely player to realize his potential.  

The best scout in NBA history just said the longest guy as soon as he enters the nba is not a top 10 prospect. Since you love analytics so much he led the big 12 in def rating he was second in def win shares on an average team was and top 10 in the nation in DBPM. Also in a tough conference he led the conference in blocks as well as total reb %. Sooooo how is that not a top 10 prospect with guys like Rudy Gobert being a top def player at center when Bamba has shown more promise at a younger age?

It is good to have an executive in the organization that actually tries to compete.

I would say this. As much as I think he's annoying. I remember being attacked for wanting to blow the whole thing up years ago. I think we all have our ways. I am convinced we should try to bring in a stud for the cheap. Like Eric Gordon or LMA if these teams try to do an opt-in and trade for LeBron James. I want one of those players to build with. 

I don't think San Antonio is even on LeBron's radar with the Kawhi situation. I like Eric Gordon's contract too but idk what we give for him when we are reportedly already looking to acquire a second lottery pick.

Even the Braves look light years better this year!

Don’t want to get too off topic but offense has been rolling so far this year hope we can keep it up!

I’ll stop when others decide to stop talking about how great tanking is.  

No one has said tanking guarantees anything

He won't. He's a bust. Bustedy bust bust. The guy that I am 100% CERTAIN will bust in the class.

Somebody thinks he is a great scout!

16 hours ago, Lurker said:

My guy that I feel like is going to bust for sure is Bamba. I just can't see it with him and haven't at all for the whole season.

At the least, I think Bagley III is going to be a very good offensive player in the NBA but there's a couple significant issues for him that I can see keeping him from his potential. He's very thin and his defensive awareness is lacking. I've been saying that he's not worth a top 3 pick and I continue to stand by it. I think he might got there anyway.

I think Ayton goes #1 and goes to Phoenix which is very unlikely to work out well for him. What will help or keep him from reaching his potential is all on him, he has a lot of talent but has to be pushed.

Did you think Rudy Gobert world evolve into one of the best defensive centers in the NBA? I think he can be better than Gobert because his shot is significantly better at a younger age and he is longer and every bit the athlete. As with all young players it'll be determined by who drafts who, but I like Bamba. He maybe never will be the franchise changer a wing or guard would have but he can be a monster rim protector that by the end can be a 75%+ ft shooter at over 7 ft with almost an 8 foot wingspan if we fall past Doncic and Ayton I'm okay with Bamba because I trust Schlenk to make the right move. I am going to 100% support whoever we draft and will buy a jersey.

Bud has put Dennis on ice for the rest of the season. Keep the tank alive

I was so excited to see this they really like someone at the top of the draft.

1 hour ago, KB21 said:

Yeah, because all great coaches just love to put themselves into situations where they will have losing records for the next 5 years.  Not just losing records, but sub 25 win seasons.

Explain the Krover trade then that made the team worse.

3 minutes ago, KB21 said:

Well, considering that Schlenk will be fired before this team is good again, I will just take my pleasure with tell you that I told you so and look forward to the new GM who will come in and actually try to put a competitive team on the court.

STOP Ressler wanted the reset so he hired a GM that agreed. If that happens it will be similar to Hinkie being fired and the new GM rides the talent Hinkie brought in.

IMO The Hawks are wasting money with all these new Jerseys. No one outside ATL will want to wear the Jerseys while we are losers. Focus on getting better young players & less on Jerseys.

No way I love it with a new top 5 pick hopefully on the way I'll go buy his jersey.

Dude John Collins only missed 6 games...Dedmon 19!  How do you explain Plumlee starting when they were healthy???

Dude Bud is 100% in on it KB just won't admit it. He is the one that gave away Korver still a great shooter for a 1st round pick lmao Schlenk wasn't even here. KB has 0 proof he isn't in on it and there are articles saying he has been in on it the entire time.

Someone needs to go back and read what was said.

I said I wouldn't take Philly's team in general, over anyone, and it is because I am categorically and emphatically against tanking.  So, I don't really care if Joel Embiid goes to Wakanda and gets a vibranium skeleton and becomes the league's next uber star, I absolutely loathe the method the 76ers took, so I would never favor that team over any team.

Well your Atlanta hawks will be doing it and there is nothing you can do about it! I'm done trying to convince you live in your misery and negative attitude you are so against taking a step back to take 2 steps forward that there is no reasoning with you. 

3 minutes ago, Peoriabird said:

Dedmon, ilyasova, Moose...how many free agents did the Hawks sign the year before Schlenk came?

Lol I asked you who is closer and you said “I still wouldn’t take the 76ers” super genius @KB21

32 minutes ago, KB21 said:

It's because you aren't paying attention and only see what you want to see.  I just gave you a great example of how the Hawks could have significantly improved by maintaining their status quo with John Collins being allowed to start when he's actually ready to be a starter and play winning basketball.  But that just zoomed right past you.  This is like when I tutored chemistry in college, and none of the people I tutored got it the way I knew it, which was very frustrating for me.

WTF! That isn't a championship team You literally back track every post! How can you say you are some NBA visionary when you said Charlotte is closer to a championship than the 76ers. I disagree if we thought we were keeping Sap Collins probably wouldn't have been the pick but even if he was I don't think that move makes it worth to an owner paying 20 extra million for an overpaid PF. Bring in someone that is cheaper if you want to go the mentor route it blocks FA the next few years (probably why Illyasova was brought back) having Sap and Howard under contract (don't say they won't use it you don't know anyone how can you say they won't). If winning basketball is a negative plus minus team a year ago and even in the other years getting swept idk what winning is.

2 minutes ago, KB21 said:

It doesn't matter, because both of those contracts would have been off the books in 2 years, at which time you have John Collins more ready to be a starter, and maybe a guy like Mitchell Robinson (who may ultimately be the best big man from this draft) ready to step in.  

Lol you his personal trainer and know something everyone else doesn’t?  You have no path that is clear to a championship either so until you come up with a plan on how the hawks can significantly improve and can answer how you have Charlotte > 76ers.... you also said you wanted to trade our draft picks but we would still draft our Kawhi or Giannis I’m so confused by you.
