Former Hawk Wings Discussion (Kev/Cam)

[macdaddy]

Kevin on the Bucks would be Klay-light.   Maybe that's what Sac will be like for him.

I'll be following both of these guys this season.

Will Thibs play Cam?

He might, but if he's not doing what he's been coached to do he will get a quick hook.

Kev can say what he wants about chemistry/ball dominance, etc...

Hawks have been more successful with Trae than the Kings have with Fox. He didn't magically end up in a better situation no matter what he has to tell himself to sleep at night.

I think being in a new situation is eye-opening for him, and he is also entering his 5th year so he isnt some young prospect that has no clue how to play NBA basketball anymore. He is a vet now, and he went somewhere where they need and value his skillset. Everything he learned in Atlanta is going to help him succeed in Sac-Town. 

But no, playing alongside Trae wasn't the problem. Playing on a rebuilding team learning to win was the problem. And then having to compete for minutes against Bogi/Cam/Dre/ Wright, etc... was another problem. Dealing with a pandemic and heavy injuries/missed games was a larger contributing factor to chemistry issues than sharing the court with a ball dominant player.

Just my two cents

He's play 1 preseason game so far and started, went 1-7.

both of these guys suck and I'm glad they're gone.

 

I also hope they totally fail as players so I am proven right which is more important to me than either of their futures.

At least you're honest about it.

Yes, and can the mods also make a thread about people [changing] their opinions of former players? 

Hmmm, this post was cleverly and dastardly edited.  Hmmmmm ......

@kg01 I blame you.  FakeGM is the perfect place for the sheik. Shots

Huerter is shooting 52.6% from 3 and averaging 16.8 ppg.

A few more games and I may be swayed.  That Heat series messed with our decision makers.  They may have gone too far in creating a 90's style team. 

If they were hell bent on not paying the tax, what could we have done to allow for us to keep Huerter?  Stretching Bogi may have been the only option.

Cam been playing well recently as well

Always bottom dwellers, the Sac. Kings and Red Velvet, are 7/3 in their last ten!  Huerter is a starter for them.

But is he still a great ball shagger after practice?

[JeffS17]

Cam didn't want to be here and his trade value was crap when he was here (probably still is at this point), so I'm not going to be sad if he does well.  Watching Heurter light it up in Sacramento -- especially from behind the arc where we continue to shoot horrendously -- is particularly painful, as the only thing we have to show for it is savings for Ressler and minutes from J Holiday which are actively hurting us for the most part.  I can still be very happy for Heurter, but it's a very sad trade for Hawks fans.

[thecampster]

The reality is there was much less of a market for Bogi than for Huerter or K'von would still be here.

I have no doubt about this.  The impossible thing is assessing whether that decision was the right one since we have no idea what was on the table in a Bogi deal.  Was it "Atlanta has to give up a first to get us to take an injured Bogi" or was it "you can do Bogi instead but we only give you two 2nd round picks instead of a first" or any number of other permutations.  Some would lead people to say that dealing Bogi would have been the right move while others would almost universally lead people to confirm that TS/LF did the right thing (assuming one or the other had to be moved).  I think that is the more interesting conversation if we had the data but it is such a black box that there really isn't anything to talk about.

SAC. won again!  Now 8-2 in the last 10!  

GO KINGS! (When you aren't playing the Hawks)

That Kevin trade just looks worse each day

[Spud2nique]

24/5/5. Huerter to the all star ️ game! Who the hell he think he is now, Trae?   Nice work! Kings on one! Let’s go KANGS!
