The defense issue is clearly a team thing. As bad as Bogi and Kevin have been, they are far better team defenders (this season) and also much better on O, and that is saying a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are shitheads. I know I am heated but I dont like the idea that you trade a talent like this for a trash package and you think there is good to this. When there is good to this, then so be it but right now, there is nothing good about this. If this leads to Simmons as @Diesel has stated, I stand back and watch and see how this could possibly work but if the trade deadline comes and goes and all we ended up with is a Kent Bazemore addition, I will remain livid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also not saying it wasn't. There is Cam the player for a pick and Cam the player seeking an extension for a pick. Two different valuations and which teams are interested and willing to offer knowing they have to pay him. Regardless if we wanted to move Cam we could have moved him for higher value last year by your report. Probably should have done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you, brethren and am also pissed. Royally. And I don't wanna hear about what "almost" happened if all we end up with is something like Kent.

I never thought Cam would make the Hawks great. People overrated him. If he is/was as great as you guys thought teams would be willing to trade more for him. His actual return suggests his actual value. Answer this, why couldn’t we get a better offer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably should have done that. The report never said we "could have" moved him for higher value. It said we tried to move him for higher value. There was no indication that the deal fell through because we pulled out, it could very well have been Indiana that had second thoughts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtLaS Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Don't like this trade at all unless it's a setup for a bigger move and the destination team didn't want Reddish, but instead a first. Seems like that could be the case since this move was done well before the deadline. I wouldn't think we would just dump Reddish for a heavily protected first that may never convey, just doesn't make sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really niether has been that much better at either end then Cam. Well, Huerter has been substantially better, but we love to relegate his ass to the bench anyway and give TLC a big portion of his minutes so...

Popular Post NBASupes Posted January 13, 2022 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 If this leads to Karl Anthony Towns, I will shut the f*** up and gladly say, you did what you had to do. But I don't trust Travis right now or the Hawks organization 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know anything about him? Is he a keeper? Someone please tell us! He can shoot threes and he can dunk. Otherwise he is not a basketball player. I hope he proves me wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general, I agree. The returning = the value. But I still say maybe there's something afoot that we're not aware of. Objectively, even for a failed prospect, this is a muted return. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, if this is the best value than just keep him and cross your fingers he can get hot at some point and garner more interest. There's PLENTY of time until the deadline. Unless this is part of a larger move this move sucks, objectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can we play him and Capela together? Two guys who can't shoot outside of 5 feet or make FT's? How do we close out games in the 4th quarter?

And there you have it. @Gray Mule Knox has been even LESS efficient and productive than Cam. I surely hope he's waived/traded soon enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkmoor Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 That Luka for Trae deal looking REALLY bad right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4wkfan Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 The things I am trying to convince myself. 1) Move 1 for a bigger trade 2) Knox replaces TLC and is a better fit for what he brings 3) financial flexibility - see point 1. otherwise. I just don’t know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
