Delon Wright. Ivica Zubac.

@kg01 ur a real Zubac u know that?

Y'all are talking about Zubac from LAL-2-LAC?  They're not letting him go anywhere, are they?

And can we stop talking about Bender?  He's had multiple years to show us he doesn't belong in the NBA.  Does he even want to be in the NBA?

So in another day or two Schlenk will have turned over half of the roster in about two weeks. Wow.

[AHF]

Don't know why anyone would complain about this trade.  I would definitely not buy Chandler out but I would keep him away from the team and let him 'rehab his injuries' in a Miami hot tub or something until the trade deadline passes and then buy him out if we haven't used his salary as filler for a trade.  @REHawksFan owned this thread.

Once again.....EXACTLY what TS said he was going to do. Or at least what it was reported he said he was going to do.  Trade 2 bad contracts for 1 bad contract to open up a roster spot.  

None of these 3 players were or are going to contribute to the Hawks this year.

Seems like an administrative move to consolidate bad contracts and open a roster spot to me.  Not sure what there is not to like.  Unless of course you were digging the Solo Hill / Miles Plumlee mugs sitting on the bench.

Brought him up because of Alex Len. Both appeared to be busts. One more than the other but Len turned it around

So why do we need more roster spots?

Probably for more 2 way players maybe.

Needed a spot for Fernando and an extra spot for another vet.

Who are these players?  Or at least what position needs to be filled?

[GrimeyKidd]

Right now the Hawks need a 3rd PF and a 2nd Center. i like Fernando but not expecting him to be rotation ready early

Because Schlenk sees more than one player that would be an asset to add to this team whereas both Plumlee and Hill are not.  Posters have seen this coming from a mile away.

Give me a name of a center they can sign?

It was rumored that we been open to moving a combination of bad contracts for one bad one.

He could have signed someone before the move so what has changed?

Any of those guys besides Zubac better than Plumlee?

Now he can sign or trade for two people.  There is no downside to this.

None of them are worse.

So I don't get it...If you aren't improving, why make the move?

[cam1218]

Admittedly, I wanted Parsons after 13/14 season, and boy am I glad that didn't happen. Good trade though, I'm all aboard trading 2 bad contracts for 1. For those who don't agree with or get the contract swap, I don't see how you can even be mad about trading two bad players for another bad player? There are much better things to get angry about.

Yeah I know.  And it's not just you.  People have been talking about him since he was drafted.  He's not shown any glimpses of having a consistent NBA skill.  Len at least had been serviceable as a player.  Bender and guys like Hezonja and Criss are basically unplayable.  Len was never that bad.
