  1. I hope we can make a splash and swing Lauri. As much as I wanted KP to pair with Trae, I want Lauri even more. Younger, healthier, and just overall better. OG would be nice too.
  2. I called for a 1 year tank about a month ago. Last year owning our pick…make the most of it. Trade the players who aren’t the best fit around Trae and go into the offseason with some spending money/recouped draft picks.
  3. There it is boys. And the refs f’ed us out of 4 points at the end. Should be tied now.
  4. Add the foul on Trae being non-shooting. Just as egregious.
  5. Like baffling how bad they are at their jobs
  6. Jalen Johnson has been cleared to return to full team practice and the Hawks forward is nearing a return from a left distal radius fracture, the team announced Wednesday. In addition, guard Kobe Bufkin, who has been out since Nov. 2 with a left thumb fracture, has been cleared to return to full team practice. Forward Mouhamed Gueye, who has been out with a right low back stress fracture, underwent a CT scan on Monday. He has been cleared to begin light on-court individual workouts. He will be re-evaluated in four weeks. Guard AJ Griffin remains out for personal reasons. Guard Bogdan Bogdanovic, who missed the past two games with right ankle inflammation, remains questionable for tonight’s game against the Rockets.
  7. Where’s Nique been lately? Feel like he hasn’t been on commentary in a while.
  8. Good. Now that Lauri is available he should be the focus.
  9. Tanking his value for us. Love to see it.
  10. Yeah we got one of them on the Hawks too. But put 2 of them together and maybe…just maybe…a bad team becomes a good team?
  11. I really only advocate for Lauri IF we can somehow swing OG too, which would help compensate on the defensive end. I don't think just purely adding Lauri to what we have right now would be ideal.
  12. I don't think he'll touch where Lauri is today offensively, but don't disagree he could be better defensively.
  13. Just depends on what you think JJ's ceiling is.
  14. Literally no one on that Jazz roster including what everyone around here says is a net negative in John Collins and somehow the same number of wins as us and one less than the vaunted Siakam.
  15. He was traded for allstar Donovan Mitchell on a team that just drafted a PF 3rd overall and needed a SG... Completely different player now than he was 2 years ago. He actually improved and took that leap - something people around here keep praying one of our guys do. He ain't that dude? Yeah most teams recognize until you have a top 10 superstar it's better to play the lottery than be middle of the pack where he kept them most of last year.
  16. Seriously. Swing for the fences vs stay put and watch 3 really good FRP's transfer to the Spurs.
  17. My gut tells me we go into the LT this upcoming summer. Otherwise, we're a lottery team without a pick. You almost have to go into the tax to keep a great pick from transferring to SAS. Otherwise, you risk losing the locker-room and even worse the fanba$e.
  18. Not many players out there are lockdown defenders and certainly not many on the block. Going to be hard to upgrade what 12 is currently giving us on defense. At least OG is an improvement over DJM on defense. OG / Dre would be fine on D. At least Lauri is 7 ft tall. He's literally doing everything better right now than Siakam. Defensive ratings are about the same. Keep Cap then if you're worried about rebounding.
  19. I don't agree. This is a big issue on defense:
