The Edy Man Cometh: Hawks agreed to multi-year contract with 7-3 center Walter Tavares

[JETSET]

 

This news had me almost as excited as when I saw this year's Hulaween lineup.

[PSSSHHHRRR87]

So basically we went from Pero and Brand to Splitter and Tavares... Bench has gotten so much better this offseason if you include in the THJR trade.

 

6th - Schröder

7th - THJR

8th - Thabo

9th - Scott

10th - Splitter

11th - Muscala

12th - Bazemore

13th - Tavares

14th - Mack

15th - ???

Marc Spears reported it. I'm really liking this off-season so far. And I think this is another indicator that Splitter is not staying.

Splitter is a bonafide NBA player - Edy we can only hope.

You have 4 people in the starting line up. Teague, Horford, Millsap and Korver.

I hope not.  I actually like the addition of Splitter and Edy is still a project big. He's only gong to be good for a couple of minutes a game at most next year, but give him 2 years and we might really have something special.

[Peoriabird]

I wish that were the truth, but the cap is going to dictate.

More than likely, one person will be cut (Daye) but maybe we work some magic using SNT  for NGC.

You guys are so confused by the CBA

We still have the room exception that should net us a player that can contribute.  I wouldn't mind seeing Scott or Mack moved for more wing help either.

Splitter is 100% staying.  Pop wouldn't have sent him to Atlanta if he was going to be used as trade bait.

[gsuteke]

I'm no expert at this but we should have the MLE and LLE if we need to use it

[LastDon]

Yes baby!!!!

Nobody is "hating" on Splitter. I think he has enough value to bring back a good piece, maybe a starting SF.

I'm Just speculating based on the lack of details on the trade and, this is silly, but I haven't seen any hawk player welcome Tiago to the team or even Tiago saying the typical "I'm so happy to be in Atlanta.." tweet that every player sends out.

Wes Johnson might be the right guy  

 

or maybe Denver will part ways with Wilson Chandler for a Scott/Mack combo.

 

They want to unload him as the team restarts

I hear ya.  If you're responding to my replay I wasn't saying you are hating on Splitter.

 

I understand the speculation, I just feel we're going to keep him because Tavares isn't ready to be the 2nd string Center (as far as I can tell).

 

Oh, and I'll jump on the celebratory gif bandwagon:

I'm guessing we'll sign someone, but yes, Thabo could be our starting SF.

I am 100% down with Wilson Chandler

[AHF]

I am sooo excited about Edy.  Very pumped.  This makes us giving up the #15 pick more bearable for sure.

[GrimeyKidd]

Let lamar patterson and brandon ashley fight for the last spot

[AHF]

@gsuteke

 

We don't have either, but will have the room exception which will be worth just shy of $3M.
