[atlhawks1]

They are clearing space. Steisma is asking for more than they thought.

[wolvetigers]

Interesting....Last year we got Payne who never saw the floor and we traded...No one complained when we were in the Eastern Conference Finals...

 

People please...only Lottery teams worry about the draft; Hawks need rebouder and someone else who can create their own shot....Outside of the Top 6 players none of those other guys would see much time in ATL...Please relax.

No superstar is going to want  THJ chucking their opportunity to win away.

[Bamalawdawg]

We got worse than a rookie. This guy has only 2 years on his contract. I loved the first deal, stockpile assets then pick from the herd. Essentially valuing Hardaway over everyone available is shocking. I thought the Hawks must have traded down to the 2nd or something. Or sent Mack away. Nope

That's just it.  We have a lottery mentality in Atlanta.  Many believed that this pick would be our Kawhi.   Like I have said before, we needed some known quantities and this was a money move.

RELAX.

 

Also... Millsap is better for us than Aldridge.

Because drafting a player for the future is what dumb teams do. Explain how THJ will get us over the hump???

We are only going to get worse as a team if we resign Millsap

[Afro]

2 first round picks in 2 years thrown away to save cash. 

 

SMFH.

His contract gives us the money to seek soemthing good in free agency.   How many busts can we get excited about in Atlanta?

 

Bebe?

Payne?

Oubre or whoever we missed out on this year?

 

We know that THJr can score in this league.  We know that he can do the stuff.  He's off the bench material and he's cheap.

Moreover, his purpose may be to give us some leverage on a trade.

[Carmine]

I'd rather have an open roster spot than trade for THJR. I've seen his game and it is not way condusive to winning basketball.

[Diesel]

Yeah.. he's been so bad for us so far...

Kick rocks with that ..

[Static]

lol I hope you guys aren't actually hoping for a big FA. We're going to get some scrub like Kosta Koupus and then go back to being a 6th seed.

What???? He shoots 38%. Thats terrible. The only reason he can "score" is because he takes a ton of shots. 

 

Kyle-8 shots in 35 minutes

THJ- 10 shots in 24 minutes

I just noticed that when Kyle was THJrs Age in the league, he shot 35% from the field...  Isn't that  terrible too?  This is an opportunity for THJr.   He will have to adapt to our offense and learn how to play our way.   If he can do it.. Great.  IF not... We let him go with the TO next year.  It's a money move.

Yes lets throw away our first AGAIN and say "Hey. Why the hell not? What do we have to lose"

 

Meanwhile our lack of depth got us murdered by the Cavs. 

[Afro]

Also Kyle still shot 39% from 3 as a rookie. 

 

Second point. Kyle rose to 42% as a sophmore. THJ went from 41% to 38%. Thats worse. Not better.

I'm saying? Did people even watch the ECFs
