We got a rotation guy in Justin Anderson, an upgrade over Dorsey and Bembry today, I still have some hope about Bembry. He could even be a draw against Bazemore, I know sounds funny but the guy shoots well and play defense

He also actually has the body to guard 3's.

Think that Bembry's value is defense at three positions with some decent ball handling. He drives pretty well too. All three SFs right now seem a good fit for Pierce to me. Prince, Justin, and Bembry.

I'm not sure it's worth a separate thread, but do we have a Hall of Fame hallway worth of Trade-and-Buyout guys in our Hawks history?

Melo, Gary Payton, Jamal, Jamison... who else am I forgetting?

Technically we traded for Nique.

Cash flow problems within the Utah Jazz organization, along with Wilkins's reluctance to play with the Jazz, led to his trade to the Atlanta Hawks several months after the draft for John Drew, Freeman Williams and $1 million in cash.^[4] Despite Wilkins's reluctance to play in Utah, the trade is now considered among the most lopsided deals in NBA history, as Drew and Williams would play a combined four seasons for the Jazz.  From wikipedia.

Oh, I meant Trade to acquire, and then work to Buyout 'n Waive before dribbling a ball on our behalf.

Best trade from Schlenk yet. You can tell Justin Anderson was a Lloyd Pierce move. Hard nosed defender that must improve his 3pt shot to be valuable in this league.

So two Bembrys..

Not quite...Anderson can guard 1-4.

Theoretically.

Remembering Sheed yelling at Przybilla "Thats the way to do it man" in the that one and only game for us with Sheed. It was a fun one.

Now Sheed sure dribbled in that one game for us, AND I think his was a turnaround trade deal, too (the eventual Smoove pick?) rather than a buyout... but he definitely gets an exception and goes in the list... First Ballot!

Justin has more potential to his jump shot, Since he was a good shooter in college

True.  I like our wing depth. Our front court depth is rather..

Anderson shooting is way better than Bembry, seriously he is a great upgrade for the bench

Depth chart post trades/draft

 

Young/Lin/ either Dorsey/Adams/Maybe Robinson

Baze/Heurter/Bembry

Prince/Anderson/Morris or Cleveland

Collins/Spellman/

Dedmon/Plumlee/

 

Not sure who I'm missing.

He actually has the body... and hops... to guard 4s in a small ball line-up.

Sixers bloggers I've read really seemed to like him in that role.

Morris got waived, with the addition of Anderson, I think Cleveland may end up getting waived as well.
