Premium Member sturt Posted June 30, 2015 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 I'd love to have Gasol, but I can't give him first priority. Sap is that. It's funny how much complaining so many of our own did about how underappreciated Sap is because, in essence, he's so lunch-bucket. But here we go... even our own underappreciating him. What's more, I think Bud would say that an important element of the offense lies in having at least one low-post player able to go out to the perimeter and be a consistent threat. Now, don't ask me how he knew that Sap would develop into that... maybe it was just his luck... but that Sap is... and Gasol nor Horford is.

NBASupes Posted June 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 What's a "True" center? Marc Gasol. Someone who doesn't look undersized all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawks arent making a big splash in FA, I'm just hoping they have solid back up plan if DMC leaves. Edited June 30, 2015 by pimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Diesel Posted June 30, 2015 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 One star post. His biggest strength is his strength. How is he losing that. How is he losing anything moving to a weaker position. im glad you let everyone know you were about to hit us with the one star post. first Horf strength is his speed and ability to step out to the midrange. Most 5s wont follow him. Most 4s would. Also, you said his advantage is his strength???? When has Horf overpowered anybody? He doesnt have a lowpost goto move. and you say strength??? Please!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Diesel Posted June 30, 2015 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 His agility is a strength at PF and C. His strength is an asset. His speed isn't all that great unless it's in the open court. He loses the advantage of his midrange game and his speed at 4. You know why he was silenced in the Cleveland series? Tristen Thompson has no problem following him out to the midrange. Tristen is a quicker 5 than Horf generally sees. As a 4, Horf would see a whole lot of Guys who are quick or quicker than him and the would stick with him. The problem is that you keep calling Horf strength, but Horf doesn't drag smaller guys down to the post and post them up? He's a face up stretch 5. He doesn't have that in his game. You mention the Washington Series... The biggest play that Horf made in that series was coming in for a rebound and outquicking their 5 for the putback. NOT posting up or scoring from the low post or using his strength to score down low. People have problems with us because we force their bigs to come away from the paint or otherwise, Horf or Sap will kill them from the midrange. When they do come out, we kill them with drives by Teague, Dennis, Baze... or Korver around a pick. To put Horf at the 4 and tell him to be a scorer would give the rest of the league relief. Sure Gasol can play in the midrange similar to Sap, but if Horf is the designated 4, he loses his advantage over all those bigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Sothron Posted June 30, 2015 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 We aren't even getting a token meeting with Gasol or LMA. Sounds like we either resign Millsap and DMC or field a much worse team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
