We won't deploy that until our pillow fight vs the magic on april fools day. I'm going and 100% am expecting to see Prince drop 72 and lose like Booker last year. Go fighting Aaron Gordons!

The only Lmao he is an example. Paul Millsap is closer to Randolph than Dirk lol. Dirk took several pay cuts and averaged 20+ ppg at 33! Sap hasn't ever done that. In fact it is interesting you mentioned them Dirk was 32 the year they won a championship he averaged 23 ppg 7rpg on 51% and 39% from 3. Sap is 32 now but I'll take 31 due to injury 18 ppg 8rpg on 44% and 31% from 3 on more miniutes. How do those correlate? Hell Dirk averaged 22 ppg at 35!

LMAO Zach Randolph signed with the Kings at 12 million a year that sound like super over pay? 5-8 teams this offseason are even projected to have cap space sorry try again. Zach Randolph can teach just as well as Sap at less than half the cost.

Okay I'm excited to watch the trade that goes down for a 35 yr old pf making 30+ million:). When in NBA history have teams traded for contracts like that while keeping future books clean?

If you look back at WF he didn't ever play a ton of minutes (due to foul trouble most the time) he only played about 26-27 mpg as a soph and less than 15 mpg as a freshman.

This off-season would be the best time to move him maybe the magic or suns will have some interest.

Okay that doesn't dispose a 52 game difference I'm sure he is hitting the "rookie wall" as most contributing rookies not use to the workload do.

They have tried promise he was on the block and probably still is. I talked about why in most cases I'd agree but not if it impacts the ability to sign other FA and acquire more valuable assets down the road.

That's almost any rookie the season is 82 games vs 30 Jayson Tatum was shooting above 50% from 3 are Kyrie and Al ruining his development?

I never said that I love Ayton's and Doncic's ceiling and current games. I am also much higher on Bamba than most with him having a solid FT % and could see guys like Rawle Awkins and Porter being nice late pickups. I have said multiple times I think the draft is only 1 aspect of building a contender and you can't just tank and expect to be good in a few year without signing the right players to fit around the core.

I see it as Sap's contract doesn't make sense on a winning team unless he is the piece you think that takes you over the top. If he had moved contracts where there was a clear path to success and he traded valuable assets for garbage I'd agree. I just think we got old and lost key players to FA with no compensation. Getting out from under Dwight's contract allows us to chase FA this off-season and would love to see the hawks target some guys that have under preformed ala Donte Exum and Mario Hezojona. I'm not saying I love every move he has made but can understand the reasoning which is also why you don't see the NBA getting on the hawks. Schröder has been on the trade block nobody wants him lol the bucks took Bledsoe > Schröder.

What moves would you have made to improve your over the cap 8 seed (maybe but I'll give it to you) Atlanta Hawks? it is a serious question I'm curious about.

He was averaging 23 ppg on 51% shooting the best of his career! if Sap had won an MVP and lead us to an NBA final that was riged hell yeah lets keep him around.

No one is trading for Sap on a 30 million deal coming off injury lmao. Yes I do Prince dropped a career high 2 games ago. All Collins has done since getting to ATL is improve.

He was finals MVP just like Iggy was!

So I've asked multiple times how do you improve the team with no cap space and your dream 15th pick?

Dirk is a top 50 player all time imo top 30 I don't buy that he is way more than an all star he is a former MVP!

I'm so impressed you can project what Schlenk is going to do with the cap space all y'all got insiders I don't I guess.

I'm not saying that at all but at a third of the cap you should push the team into major contention especially at 33 with 0 upside on the team. That would also mean the hawks have the longest playoff drought in the east the longest now is 5 years come on we have been over this. I don't see it as bottoming out the roster I saw it as Sap at 30 million is a negative asset that is an albatross that can't be traded as well as Dwight.

Clearly some of you "Sap-lovers" have Schlenk's phone number or something talking about his plan to rebuild the hawks acting like you got insiders or something lol.

Please tell me a scenario where a team with a non-allstar aged vet center and borderline east allstar PF making over half your cap equaled playoff success? I'm not saying tanking works 100% of the time I'm saying those contracts don't make sense unless that player pushes you over the edge of winning at least a playoff series and I 100% believe that team wouldn't. I wouldn't be opposed to payoffs if it means a flexible cap which doesn't include contracts totaling a third or even a forth of your cap.

And we failed miserably time for a reset exactly! All I've seen from you is why nothing works lol. At least we have an idea come up with something to get us closer to a championship genius.

How do you know Schlenk's plan please elaborate! Sexton won't go top 7 I'll put money on it now you just like him and are speaking for a fanbase. Stunt? He didn't overpay a couple aging players as I've said no math works where you can compete for a championship with over half you cap taken by a borderline east all-star and a former all star.

LMAO THJ went to the D-league while on the hawks shut up. More ready to play no defense.
