Love it.  We get a rotational player while giving up 2 non-rotational players.  We also improve our rebounding, which is where the Bucks killed us.

[dalamchops]

i like it... playoff tested, defensive minded, knows his role offensively (won't try to do too much), hopefully no off court drama lol

Terrible trade honestly speaking, he is a real bad backup option for us, undersized and only work on the zone, no range. Do not provide versatility and do not help defending big centers. His contract is trash, with so many options out there I can not believe we took this route. Really hate the trade and I hope Capela is not injured this season, we will be un trouble.

To no one in particular....

 

Please do NOT besmirch the good name of the Bru Cru if you were not one of its members.

 

And yeah, I am THRILLED to see Bruno go somewhere that he's possibly going to get a real shot to see the floor. Hopefully, beginning with summer league. Not even kidding. The guy deserves it. Won't cheer for the Cs, but I'll cheer for him... just like I'll never cheer for the Dodgers, but I'll be looking for Scherzer and Trea (the other one) to kill it.

Kind of hate this trade to be honest. Maybe a roster spot is freed up to for a FA, but Thompson as a back up is unappealing. Would have rather kept what Bruno and Dunn.

[pimp]

We needed help rebounding  and Thompson is still very good at it. 

We just got a Celtics starter for our 3rd string pg. I’ll take it!

So, current rotation?

G - Trae Young, Vet FA, Sharif Cooper

G - Bojan Bogdanovic, Kevin Heurter

F - DeAndre Hunter, Cam Reddish, Solomon Hill

F - John Collins, Danilo Gallinari, Jalen Johnson

C - Clint Capela, Tristan Thompson (Onyeka Okongwu on the IL for a while)

I feel like they will add another center and try to maybe keep Lou Williams as a combo guard.  

Lou Will is coming back

[JayBirdHawk]

I feel dirty trading with the Sees.

I also think we can also trade Thompson for another player with a higher salary during FAcy.

[NBASupes]

We got whooped in this deal but we needed a center who can play minutes and wanted to get rid of Bruno and Dunn

Dunn is a rotational player, just not for us or our style of play 

[DS5]

This is a no brainer good deal for the hawks. I really think some people just choose to be upset all the time around here.

You actually hearing that from your guy, or are you just guessing?

I got word on it yesterday. Same for Solo and JC. 

[gurpilo]

He has been trash against Phily and Bucks, of course he struggles with size. Damn I really hate it, we need a legit 7 footer, everyone has one.

He's not gonna play much in the playoffs 

[lethalweapon3]

He's told more?

Nah, way too much suspense for a Friday news dump. I'm off to get tacos.

Well you need to protect yourself for injuries and Capela and OO are not the most durable players. You want rebounding? Whiteside, Mcgee, Noel, Dieng... all help you on rebounds and in other weaknesses and you can give them a significant role this year.
