To be fair, he is breathing just like every all-star before him.  Prove me wrong.  Name me an all-star that wasn't breathing during the game.  I'll wait.

Also, I can't be the only one that sees this thread title and goes ...

Discrediting a thread by manufactured by Spud. How dare you? Hater.

Are you guys disappointed in the trade or sad this isn't a thread on a new trade?  I'm guessing the latter.  I like this trade a lot for us.

The latter (obviously) ... or not so obvious ....

Disappointed it isn't a new trade.  We all know, due to the volume of picks we have, at least one more is coming.

Lw3 is a freakin wordsmith. I just tried to break the news as fast as possible in any way possible. I want you all to feel the happy rush I feel throughout my body when the Hawks made a trade.

“I’ve been super blessed to even be a Hawk,” Prince said. “They are my family. They accepted me from the moment I stepped foot in Atlanta. I’ll only be thankful. I have only good things to say about the city, ownership, coaches that I’ve had, people that I’ve been around, relationships that I have there that I will forever have. I can’t wait to go back there and play.”

Prince said he likes the direction of the Hawks, especially the recent additions of rookies Cam Reddish and Hunter and the free-agent signing of Jabari Parker.

 

Quote

“I actually asked them and they just said ‘Be yourself,’” Prince told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Monday while watching his new team play in the Las Vegas Summer League. “As a basketball player that’s a golden response that you could ever receive from a coach to be yourself and do what you do. As long as I play defense, I will be on the floor.” Prince can do that. He is back in a familiar system with the Nets, one more like he was in during his first two seasons under coach Mike Budenholzer than last season under Lloyd Pierce.

That's a good deal for both sides.

[NBASupes]

For a wing, 15 million seems to be the standard. I am sure Baze will get a similar deal in the offseason. I am sure Reddish and Hunter will be max cats when the time comes.

If they are putting up max numbers the Hawks will be in the finals no doubt!

I wouldn’t be so sure about Baze.  Don’t think he would get that today.  

[Gray Mule]

If Crabbe comes back from injuries by mid November, he's just a couple of weeks away.  Anyone know anything?  Is he working out, etc?

Think Baze is mid level or even less from his next contract on out because there are a lot of cats that can do what he does and are younger with less dollars involved. The only thing I think he does offer they don't would be the locker room aspect. Great Rah, Rah guy. Not enough for 15 mil. or close to it though.

Baze is an no 3 and average D player. He is an awful shooter. Currently shooting 18% from 3 this year and was bad last year and most of his career.

He has been wildly inconsistent from season to season.  If he doesn't turn the shooting way around, he won't have a case for any significant amount of money.  If he does, he'll get paid...just not nearly as much as he does now.
