[Diesel]

It may still be early, but with the moves that have been made thus far... what does our Depth Chart look like?

You're right because somebody is getting traded from here.

Training Camp my friend. The only people I know are starting is Trae/Capela. Everyone else is in for a dog fight.

He gotta beat Gallinari for that role.

If Bogdanovic does end up getting signed, here’s a look at what the current depth chart looks like:

Hawks depth chart

Point guard	Shooting guard	Small forward	Power forward	Center
Trae Young	Bogdan Bogdanovic	Cam Reddish	John Collins	Clint Capela
Rajon Rondo	Kevin Huerter	De'Andre Hunter	Danilo Gallinari	Onyeka Okongwu
Brandon Goodwin	Kris Dunn	Tony Snell		Bruno Fernando
	Skylar Mays			Nathan Knight (two-way)

 

As you can see, depth would no longer be an issue for the Hawks, as it has been in Pierce’s two seasons. That’s a deep team that can compete with anyone nightly. I’d be fascinated to see Pierce’s rotations because of how many quality players there would be on the roster. That’s a good problem to have and should be enough for them to reach the playoffs.

I'm going with Chris on the debt chart. I'd also sign Skal as the 3rd PF.

This is what I'm talking about

 

There's gonna be A LOT of animosity on this team if that happens. And that could ruin chemistry

Collins will not be coming off the bench. Let's be real here.

So you're going to put the 61 Million dollar man on the bench?

If Capela is starting.  61 Million dollars replaces either Collins or Hunter/Cam in the Starting lineup. 

If he goes to the 3... defense suffers.

Bruh stop. John is starting and I’ll bet a paycheck on it. Let it go

[Eddielives]

This is the million dollar question right now.  Where is Gallo getting his minutes.  They are not, I REPEAT, they are NOT coming from playing SF.   I actually think we are going to pay a guy 20 million for around 18-22 minutes.  Weird but considering his injury history, maybe this is best.

What does the Hawk's depth look like now?  Well, you can bet your sweet patuty that it looks different than it did when we started last season!

We all wanted this team to improve.  It has.  Naturally, not everyone approves of what has been done.  Playing time must now be earned.  Much as we may object, some new additions may be high priced bench players.  That's all right.  Injuries happen every NBA season and no player or team is exempt.

Who can best serve and best agree.  Who can play best with who?  Lloyd Pierce and his assistant coaches have their work cut out for them.  Right now, who is better?  How many teams in the east are better?  Sure, this Hawk team will loose games.  But, right now, they are so much better than they were when they were so bad.

Winning is fun.  I expect some fun this upcoming NBA season !!

This is my With and Without Bogdan lineups:

PG: Young, Rondo, Goodwin
SG: Reddish, Huerter, Dunn, Mays
SF: Gallinari, Hunter, Snell
PF: Collins, Skal
Capela, Fernando, Okongwu

PG: Young, Rondo, Goodwin
SG: Bogdan, Huerter, Dunn, Mays
SF: Hunter, Reddish,
PF: Collins, Gallinari, Skal
Capela, Fernando, Okongwu
(I've assumed Snell gets traded in SnT for Bogi)

SG - Bogdon 30 Huerter 18
SF - Cam 24 Hunter 24
C  - Capella 30 Collins 6 Gwu 12

Dunn gets minutes here and there.  Others play only in blowouts and injuries.

I'm going to play the best player...Collins.  No way that Gallinari starts instead of him.

[Gray Mule]

Yep.  How big your check is should not determine whether you start on the floor or on the bench.  If you can, then you can.  If you can't, then you can't.  

Our 61 million dollar man has had injury problems.  We want him healthy for the playoffs.  No point in killing any Hawk with too much playing time.

Y'all keep putting Cam in the starting line up when he couldn't even beat out Huerter last year.
