I don’t mind the new fans. If we are going to give them a tour of our facilities I’ll take the women in the 24-44 age group. Let’s see here... @kg01 you mind grabbing the men between 50-70? Thanks!

Ladies, if you don’t mind, follow me this way to the spud ? zone...

Nah, I'll leave that duty to Burd and Lurk (may she rest in peace).

A+

... you know.  I'm not happy AHF just glossed over that, btw.

Also, I got no likes.  This is gonna be a huge issue tomorrow as I'll be needing to 'like' some epic meltdowns

The power of celebrity.  Actually, it's the Rihanna effect.  All of those kids dissing Nike, Under Armor and Adidas, to roll with Puma because, it's different.

I saw this with Bagley and Ayton talking about Puma.  Bagley just talks like a superstar talent.  He needs to be a Hawk.

Uh, did you see his interview after the Hawks workout.  He's anything but a polished speaker.  And considering Nike (illegally) brought him and his family back from the brink of poverty, it's pretty shameful that he turned his back on them now when it matters.

Let somebody else waste 4 years chasing Julius Randle, Jr.  #EZPassLane

Would be a nice problem to have coming with us getting Doncic and all.

I challenge you to spend some quality time with them on some other sites.

PLEASEE TAKE THIS TO THE TABK THREAD.

Aren't you just sooo looking forward to the Doncic mafia influx?  You gonna be like the guy putting fingers in all the holes in the dike.

... what?

My cold feet say... Darko.

I'm sorry.. there's too much mystery surounding Darko.. I mean Doncic. 

 

I'm sorry but this is just ill-informed, Dies.

Darko was a guy over there averaging like 6 and 7 and barely playing.  We know significantly more about Doncic than we ever knew about Milicic.

And I say that as one who has not been in favor of taking the guy.  The question I have is the degree to which he'll translate.  It's not on trepidation over how much we know about him.

You and Nick Young been partying with that guy in your avatar?

On a serious note, memo to NBA execs ... Can we not become dumbarse NFL draft folks trying to one-up each other for stupidest arsed question asked to potential draftees.

Then the guy ultimately going, "Ahhh I was jus' kiddin'".  F*ck you.  That shat ain't funny or professional.  There are other ways to gauge how a guy deals with awkward situations.  Be better.

I don't know if it's a precursor to a Kemba trade, but it was about getting under the tax. They saved $7 mil this year.

I kinda think it's step 1 in a sloppy rebuild .... that also saved them cash.

I'm not usually one to say "I told ya so," but... @TheNorthCydeRises @Diesel

Dwight has negative value. There was no "good" trade to be had. 

Oh man, that's savage.

Also, on CHA, does this make CLE's 8th pick for Kemba deal more likely?  What impact does that have on us?

I was high on Sexton until fairly recently.  Problems he has are that he can't pass or shoot well.  He's more Eric Bledsoe than Russ Westbrook and that ain't a good thing considering he appears to think he's Westbrook-ian.

He's likely to go to Orlando at 6 anyway which, if ORL is high on him, that speaks volumes (in a bad way).  Yeah, I know they have new management but have you seen the Bucks' draft prowess lately (other than the year Larry Drew walked in with Hawks' draft notes)?

If we're looking for a Georgian at the 19 level there's really only one choice ... and his name rhymes with Josh Okogie.

Da Spud was AWOL from the site back when I was calling him Donciccio for the last 9 months. The Miserable One once quipped he couldn’t debate with someone who “couldn’t even spell his name right.” He didn’t see what I did there 

Heh, I bet those were fun times.

Oh, you haven't heard.  They are going to still consider Ben Simmons a rookie next year.

Lol the Don was donned by me.. @hazer added ciccio ? 

Dang, I been sitting on that one but I'll happily give you and @hazer credit when I use it.

Doncic vs Simmons

Nah, Simmons been in the league like 8 years.  Gotta be a fellow rookie.

Thank you for saying what I was thinking. If I mentioned Bird I thought people might boo me. ? I agree though..instincts/intangibles 

Grow some gonads, spud2.  Don't be scared-a these foos.

If #TheDon (yeah, that's what he'll be called if he lands here) is Bird, then who's his Magic?

Man!  I wish the Hawks had Sean Marks as a GM and not Travis Schlenk.  Marks knows what he is doing.  Schlenk is clueless.

I'm not on the Schlenk-wagon but I'm not sure we've seen enough to make this statement.

Weird.  Do they expect him to mentor Allen?

2 max slots?  For who?  BKN is in New York but they don't have the pull they seem to think they do.

Where?  Luka is about 230 lbs.  He's a beast!

BSPN's draft special listed him at 288.

Yeah, I see it now.  Consider the source.  I'll take a temp-bann, please.

Nobody really wants Trae young but the hawks...Doesn't that concern anyone here?

It should.

That defensive backcourt though 

This.  Also, am I the only one concerned that Doncic is listed at 288lbs?

Will the Hawks take Parsons and add the #4?  

I would.  But that's such a dumbarse thing for MEM to do that I just don't believe the rumor.

I hate seeing reports like that.  There's really no substance to it.  I could tweet that right now about 85% of the league and be juuuust right enough to not be laughed off the platform.

"Well, how do you know this, Jake"  "Bwahhh, I can't reveal my sources."  Buuuulllshat

100% correct. 

BTW, my Dawgs are 1 win away from playing for the CWS championship   

You're the right 'dawgs' so that doesn't bother my yellow jacket sensibilities.

It pains me to say I agree with you, KBT.  Sorry but Bagley's #1 skill is effort.  Unfortunately, he's now going into a league where everybody (worth a dang) plays with effort.  They also are capable of exploiting him on defense.

I get that he, at times, showed a couple dribble moves and a jumpshot here and there but he made a living by out-athleteing guys which could get him numbers individually but it won't get us wins.  The eggsperts I hear touting him always do so by saying stte: "He'll be a 20/10 guy but will he get you wins?"  And those are the guys who are high on him.

Lastly, there were like 2-3 guys in the whole league who were 20/10.  The idea that he's sure to be on that level is laughable to me.

Awright, move over KBT.  Make me some room.  I think that post gets me kicked off the island for good.

 

I don't see how that idea is "laughable". Collins averaged about 16 and 11 per 36 this past season and I think everyone can agree Bagley is a much better player than Collins was at the same age. It's not a stretch to think Bagley could outperform Collins in his rookie year and approach 20-10 if he gets the opportunity.

I don't believe in per-whatever numbers.  Humans don't work like that.  Bagley is a better prospect than Collins but he's not more skilled.  Therein lies the difference.  Bagley will be nowhere near 20/10 this season unless you thin-slice it into some per-17 or per-24 number.

It wouldn't surprise me if we send Dennis to get back Faried/14.

I would be surprised if DEN would do this considering their already crowded backcourt.

Just now, NBASupes said:

They don't want him and their not that interested in moving the 14th. They really want to move other assets. I was going to talk about this in the pod. San Antonio is the team open for business. 

SAS loves their pg of the future though?  Can't recall his name right now.  Blame it on the .... what were we talking about?
