I probable would have kept Huerter.

From here, what moves would you or wouldn't you make with our roster?  I'm asking because I know w/e happens you will retrospectively be in favor of the opposite and condemn the FO. 

I would love to hear your ideal vision for the our roster based on where we are today.

[Jody23]

Considering we just saw the Hawks sell draft position in the second just to put two million dollars in Ressler's pocket, I'm not at all confident the Huerter trade is a prelude to anything other than ducking the tax.

If this is the last move we make, we are officially under the LT.

Uh no!

Justin and Aaron >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> huerter

I think it depends on health of the team. If you get injuries like last year and you have to depend on a marginal talent like Justin Holiday, it can be a problem.

Now now..... that wasn't the question.

Hawks 2022-23 offseason
Out	In
Danilo Gallinari	Dejounte Murray
Kevin Huerter	Justin Holiday
Delon Wright	Aaron Holiday
Kevin Knox	Maurice Harkless
TLC	Jock Landale
Skylar Mays	AJ Griffin
Gorgui Dieng
Lou Williams
3 x 1st round picks	1 x 1st round pick
	Note:  Jalen Johnson played sparingly with the Hawks and should be considered an In.
	Note: Tyrese Martin will probably play with College Park but could be in the "IN" column.

@Plainview1981 @RandomFan  Take it to a private thread fellers.  Can I get a mod to delete the back and forth please?

Ignore me? 

You're following me around acting like a little ankle biter. You haven't ignored me at all apparently.

• Trae = Steph
• Murray=Klay
• Hunter = Iguodala
• Simmons = Draymond
• Clint = Bogut...

Skillsets reminiscent of the 73 win Golden State team.   But Murray can't be a splash bro...

Diesel. I love you, but let this GSW stuff go.

The biggest thing that they have is a cultural identity. We are not the same. Especially with Simmons, he is not a culture guy.

Murray clearly is not Klay. He is Murray. A totally different skillset. Similar caliber of players, but completely different.

We are building our own thing over here. The Warriors did not copy anyone else. The Spurs did not not copy anyone else. The Bulls did not copy anyone else. The Pistons did not copy anyone else. The Lakers did not copy anyone else. The Celtics (80's) did not copy anyone else.

We have to focus on us. Trae and Steph do different things well. They have different weaknesses. You cannot build around them the same way. 

If the Hawks become a dynasty, it will be built upon Hawks basketball and a new way of winning. We will always lose trying to play like someone else.

No need. He's back on ignore.

I love Kevin but honestly, i dont think its that bad of a trade yall are making it out to be. We get a lot stronger defensively

So this move was designed to help the team's overall defense? And not to trade for Durant?

You said you wanted more defense and you're getting it. 

I hope it's making you happy they are doing what you wanted.

Gobert to Minnesota

I think you're right but the deal is still basically to get a cheap replacement for Kev for this year.  If money was no object i don't think we trade him even considering the pick.

Kev was a rollercoaster and disappearing act. I am in love with his potential, but he is not a reliable player right now. 

Please look at his meltdown in game 5 where he almost single handedly gave away that game. He is weak under pressure, point blank period. We just added toughness and experience. That equals win-now.

I don't love it, I don't hate it. But I am ok with it

Holy crap.  I don't even like Gobert that much but this is a sneaky good move for the twolves i think.

[Kobie Drew]

I know not everyone is for it. And just to be clear I am not saying that I want this to happen. But if JC ends up in Brooklyn for Ben Simmons, I want y’all to stand back and look at our lineups. Bc that is a very crazy good defensive team. And if defensive was our biggest problem last year…
