We better be going somewhere with this.

Well you knew you could bring on Jabari and keep Spell. Not enough clubhouse food. Hehehe

It speaks volumes to give up on a guy this soon.

Wow. I make one Hot Plate reference on the net and all hell breaks out at Hawks' HQ...

Lloyd sounded disappointed when the announcer asked him about Spellman's conditioning yesterday during the game. I guess the Hawks had enough. I was pulling for B.I.G. and hope he uses this as motivation to get in shape.

Hawks keeping the NBA summer alive!

Yup.  He's the Warriors problem now.

I'm sure he'll look good at times but I'm equally unsure if he'll get his sh*t together.

Sorry, as I said with Zion, your body is your career.  There's no eggscuse for you to be walking 'round lookin' like Uncle Albert wearing his nephew's pee-wee uniform.

Wish they had traded him to LAL so he could be Josh Hart's snitchin' a** problem.

Scrubs got 99 problems and Omari is a big ☝. Actually he’s gonna hit some 3’s. But Damian Jones, what can you do for us sir?

[NBASupes]

Lol, this is a really bad sign for Spellman. They had faith in him coming into the offseason

Cue the Rice-A-Roni jokes!

I don't see any potential on Damian Jones, Spellman was clearly better player. I don't know, probably this is good foe Bruno but is taking ages to consolidate some young players on thw frontcourt 

[NBASupes]

Bruno has the backup 5 is well

Wait, that’s the Miami treat. No?

That’s really disappointing. Coming into SL out of shape was a huge red flag so I can’t say I blame Schlenk and LP for cutting him loose, but I really liked his game. And this will probably be the jolt he needs to change his habits so I’m not looking forward to him flourishing in GS.

[kg01]

Sorry to be so harsh but it's a shame, an absolute shame to see a young man wasting his gifts even if it's only been a year.  You know how hard they must've been on him to get in freaking shape?

To trade a FRP who had showed promise?  That's unheard of.  And this isn't us getting the wool pulled over our eyes by Schlenk's former bosses.  If anything, it's the reverse.

[Spud2nique]

Hey Omari, holla at ur boy I’m in the bay. We can get some and fries in SF let’s go!

It's not that hard for an NBA player to hire a chef and trainer during the offseason. Basketball is his job.
