    wow, what a god awful ugly ending to this one
  2. Phunkabilly
    I'm sure he regrets it, but I think it's similar to the Kelce-Reid mini-scuffle during the Super Bowl... I'm sure Bogi probably just got a little over-amped, but I think Quin is smart enough to recognize that it was coming from a good place, and not from trying to show him up.
  3. Phunkabilly
    Yeah, that kinda came out of nowhere. Think it happened when Quin decided to put the end of the bench into the game... maybe Bogi thought he was being benched without realizing Chicago was waving the white flag?

    Congrats, DJ. Well deserved. But why ya gotta do that when I'm facing @Spud2nique in the fantasy playoffs, brah??
  5. Phunkabilly
    Oh man, Spud... this is bad... real bad. I sure as hell hope you're not planning to run for politics, 'cause Burd is gonna sling mud ALL over your campaign!

    Hawks' last two games have been their best games of the season as far as points allowed go! Let's keep it up fellas!!
  10. Phunkabilly
    Hawks beat their season record of points allowed by 7 tonight! Great job, fellas!

    Quin, if you got guys out there who aren't competing, THEN BENCH THEIR ASS AND PLAY GUYS WHO WILL!! For the life of me, I don't know why he refuses to play the young bucks when our regular rotation guys are absolute ass out there. I was one of Quin's staunchest supporters when we hired him, but he's losing me real quick. He's doing a lot of the same things that used to bug me about Nate.

    That was a very Trae-like pass from DJ there, too. Acted like he was gonna gun it to JJ to get the defender to bite, then slings it to the guy he wanted (Bey) at the last second. Love to see it. Seems like DJ is picking up a thing or two from our star.
  13. Phunkabilly
    I think it's far from a "fact" that Trae isn't liked by other players in the league. I'm sure some don't like him, of course, but he usually all buddy buddy with the opposing teams' star players after the game.

    Are you saying the 10 days that Derrick Favors kept the Hawks bench nice and warm meant nothing to you????
  15. Phunkabilly
    True, but didn't he live close by? Memphis, I thought?

    Looks like Thaddeus Young is available. I admittedly have a strong GT bias, but I do think he would be good for the Hawks as PF depth. Not sure if he'd be willing to come home versus trying to latch onto a contender though... Haha, beat me to it.

    My god, Steph scares the hell outta me. But great team win! Hard fought on both sides.
  18. Phunkabilly
    Bogi, you're doing a very bad Steph impression right now
  19. Phunkabilly
    Been clamoring for him for a while now myself. The only DJ trade rumor I was excited about was for Murphy and Herb Jones that Sothron mentioned a while back. Think he would fit extremely well with Quin's system.

    @theheroatl, I might have to smack some sense into ya, lol. The main piece you would be getting there (at least from a usage perspective) is Lavine, who doesn't play a lick of defense and would absolutely cripple our financial flexibility for the foreseeable future. The dude is already not performing up to his salary and will likely only get worse in future years. I'd be fine with PWill as a buy-low candidate, but am not willing to pay a premium for him. He's decent on the defensive side, but his offense leaves a lot to be desired, although I would be interested in seeing if Trae could help elevate him on that side of the ball. But add in the fact that he's looking to be PAID this upcoming offseason, so I wouldn't count on him to help us beyond this year. If anything, the Hawks should have learned not to overpay role players who haven't really shown much so far. I do like Caruso, and he would be the main guy of interest to me here. From a player-to-player value perspective, in comparing performance to price, here's how I roughly see the comparison: DJ >>>> Lavine Bey = PWill Bogi = Caruso If you truly wanted to do a offense-for-defense swap, I would just make it Bey + Bogi for PWill + Caruso. I think that's pretty close on value and makes much more sense if helping our defense is the goal. Including Lavine just absolutely kills it for me.

    Think all we gotta do to get a decent wing on the Hawks is to figure out a way to fuse the best parts of Dre and Bey together.
  22. Phunkabilly
    It's either that or his body won't allow him to play basketball anymore. Either way, he should be viewed as a $60M sunk cost at this point.
  23. Phunkabilly
    I feel that Simmons plus 2 FRP's are a combined neutral value at this point, lol.
  24. Phunkabilly
    Holy smokes, what a roller coaster ride, lol

    I'm mainly addressing this to the Hawks' insiders, but what is happening in practice that isn't happening in the actual games? From DJ's comments, it sounds like the team is working well together in practice. What is being changed during the game, and why? Is he saying that he's allowed to be more of a playmaker in practice, but not during the games? Has Trae been playing off-ball more in practice?
