Hawks sign F Jabari Parker

^^^I think some us are underrating this signing. Jabari still has serious offensive game despite the injuries.

That he does. I just need him to care a little about defense.

Two days later and there's still no official announcement coming from Hawks central command.

Maybe we'll get that this morning?

For whatever reason, Parker just doesn't impress me as someone who would be above pulling back on his commitment if SAS loses Morris to NYK, and then, has a hole to fill for a 2-year contract and a couple million more.

To me Jabari looks like he will fille the role of scoring on the second unit.  Gives us some depth and at this price, no one expects a complete two-way player.  Solid enough for me.

Parker is an improvement at backup 4 over Spellman and Carter. Len picks up right where he left off, C is solid. I feel like Hunter will be an upgrade over Prince at SF. Crabbe is a superior 3pt shooter to Baze. Turner is an improvement at backup PG over Adams. Factor in growth from Trae, Kev, and John and this team wins at least 40 games and sneaks into the playoffs. The Parker signing, especially at that price, helps this team.

I think of this signing similar to the first Millsap signing. People didn't make much of it because we were focused on finding a C to appease Alice, who at the time was whining about not getting to play PF. That signing turned out to be a steal.

We still have the old scrubs (Warriors)staff from 2015, correct? 

Nice! Let’s work!

I'm thinkin the relationship with Emory might be part of his thinkin. But I'm not aware that there was any follow-up question by a journalist in the room.

So, yeah...

Parker > Spellman

Jones > Plumlee

 

...and...

 

Turner = Lin

Crabbe = Bazemore

Parsons = Anderson

 

Is that probably about right, insofar as Schlenk thinks about the non-rookies acquired versus 2018-19 players traded or released?

Dedmon > Parson

[sturt]

Parsons isn't a C, tho.

Dedmon's replacement, like Prince's replacement, is a just-drafted rookie, effectively.

Dedmon > Bruno

Our bench vets are likely an upgrade, with the downside of being more injury prone. But it's all about the pups really.
