1st Preseason Game Vs New Orleans

[NBASupes]

I know Steven Adams can't shoot threes but it would be nice to have a legit center.

Defense is still a MAJOR issue. We can only hope that Pierce isn't emphasizing that yet. We already have one "defensive coach" in ATL who hasn't shown anything yet. Lookin' at you Quinn.

We need a True center to be physical and not scared to get rough . Collins doesn’t have the power or frame for true centers.

better defense is needed but even then you got to do something about physicality

Thank you ! I’m telling folks man the lack of physicality at center may actually keep us from surpassing last years win total.

id love to get Adams! He’s still only 25 and would help this team out greatly on defense

This 1st preseason game, I just wanted to see if Hunter and Reddish look like they belong on the court

My trade idea:

Hawks currently have $5.3 mill in capspace.

Here's my offer:

Stephen Adams for Chandler Parsons/Allen Crabbe (salary relief for next season), Damian Jones (young player) OKC getting their 2022 1st round pick back (protected 1-14, then 2-2nds. [Parsons or Crabbe works, but OKC may prefer Crabbe since it can save them money off their tax bill this year]

Adams starts, Len off the bench, Bruno in progress!

The Pelicans perimeter D is f***ing nice

[hazer]

Pump da brakes on the sky falling

[NBASupes]

Trae will average 12 assists a game

[JayBirdHawk]

Hey @Spud2nique.....uum, your boy Jones....wa happen 

[TheFuzz]

Hate to say I told you so with Jones, but man ...

Trae looks sloppy but he'll be fine. Hunter is a beast. Reddish shows some flashes. Not too upset with what we've got going.

Reddish showed more than flashes. He looked good for a large part of the game once he caught up with the speed of the game

 

That said, I want more, I need more

 

Trae looks a tad rusty with the shot but everything else is there. Off on a few passes and decisions but it's preseason. 

Hunter been beasting

Word.

[JayBirdHawk]

I'd be okay giving Joakim Noah a call.

[Marvin24Williams]

DeAndre put in some serious work this offseason. He's always been quick but the dudes first step has been absolutely explosive

[NBASupes]

Bembry been beasting too

[hawkman]

Signs of life from Jones!
