I mean I was doing the same about the Murray talk till Stein spoke on it so you know it's not fake news At the end of the day, I don't like to be the bearer of bad news and what if it happens is also always my thought so I just generally leave some things left unsaid. Bad news? A healthy CC is a damn good Center.. Not sure if Ayton is a max player anyway tbh.. Id be fine with Trae/Murray/Hunter/PJ Tucker/CC Delon/Huerter/Bogi/JJ/OO Rife/Griffin for a year or 2.. (See if Trae/Murray works) That team would be way tougher than last yrs squad.. And we need toughness...Tucker has played with Clint before..We should have $ to sign him after JC trade..If it happens..

You already know I think Okongwu is the best PF on this roster right now so that's a no brainer there and we aren't getting Tucker. He's joining his brother Harden. I would love to get Thad Young as Sturt says, that's a real steal of a vet. He still got game and he can fill the void Gallo leaving. I have zero faith in JJ getting serious minutes next year so Trae/DW DM/Bogi Hunter/Kev Okongwu/Young Capela/Biyombo The rest playing in College Park. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member JeffS17 Posted June 27, 2022 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 I understand that the FRP will be 20+ but three first round picks is very very steep. It's a double edged sword imo because as a team butting against the LT or in the tax, you really want those cheap rookie scale deal guys that might turn out to be rotation players -- that's why imo the first rounders are still extremely valuable. I'd rather give them 5 pick swaps (not suggesting we actually do this, just saying) than 3 first rounders straight up because then you at least can still reliably get talent on cheap deals. Grabbing vet mins every year can be tough and because were in Atlanta, we're likely going to be getting the tier 2 or tier 3 vet min guys. Two first rounders and a pick swap and JC out would be my preference. Let the third team that takes JC send SAS the other pick if they really need it that bad. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRW Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 I want Murray but we still need to have that 3pt. threat and that pick and roll with Trae and Clint if he's still here. It's imperative that we have a Power Forward with 3pt. shooting ability. If we trade for Ayton having another shooter might not be an issue at Power Forward. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got no problem with it. I like the mentality of dying to be a winner. Will fit right in with Trae. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okongwu is already an excellent defender at the 4 right now. That's giving you more than half the PFs in today's NBA. I see working but Onyeka has to improve his range. That's a fact. I have no faith in JJ either. He didn't look close to NBA ready from the gleague games. I felt he needed another year and he needed to figure out a role he would play as a 4. I felt Tillman was our best big on CP. Same for PG, I felt Barber was better than Coop. Both will need to make a jump in my eyes but we knew they were raw when we drafted them.
