"Landry is my guy"

Meanwhile, JC is shocked TS is effectively gone...

Both Trae and JC made references of Schlenk "believing in them".  I think both were appreciative of Travis selecting them where he did.

Next season is concerning. I'm okay with avoiding this season, but next season means one of Bogi, John, Clint, or Hunter is gone.

 

Just one of them will be gone?

Easy choice then.

I highly doubt that is true. Does Danny Ferry seem like a guy to give 2 FRPs? He's as stingy as they come. 

Ainge.... lol

Looks like Landry is about to will and deal. I would prefer Psikiam if they were to move John, but that is a pipe dream.

 

If Ressler wants to stay under the tax, it'll be a deal like John Collins for Marvin Bagley + Nerlens Noel + 2nd rd pick.

Yes.

And Kirschner crucified Ressler for that, as-if the guy GSW picked was the only guy in the 2nd round left that was worth taking. I took that as a big sign that Kirschner and Ressler weren't exactly buddy buddy... not that anyone ever would have assumed they were, but seemed to be some outright animosity.

I'd think Ressler a fool to not take $3m to drop back 10 picks in the 2nd round, I really would. There's just not any way of being so confident in a particular 2nd round guy, particularly in the mid to late 2nd, that you turn your nose up at $3m, imo.

I was taking about the outright selling of a pick - not the drop back for cash.  That didn’t bother me.

We outright sold the 41 and 44 picks in the 2019 draft.  41 was Eric Paschall.  44 was Bol Bol.  Both have significantly higher ws/48 and per ratings than Hunter (among other metrics).  I’d rather have Hunter than either but why choose when we could have had all of them?

Is Larry Brown still alive? He coached Iverson's best years.

The other Bogi for JC and some of the firsts Detroit has would make people here go....

Better than anything else that has been put forth.

Honestly, JC isn't being used to his full potential on our team, and Bogi is a bucket. 

If we get a legit solid contributer on offense and can rebuild the war chest with Detroit picks, I'd be happy with it.

Love JC, but we gotta do what we gotta do

The spacing would be incredible in certain lineups...

Spacing would be incredible, and the team would be closer to last year's offensive minded team which was hella fun to watch even when they lost.

Watching shots brick hurts my soul more than the happiness I get from watching mediocre defense with the current crew.

Ressler's son is now the President of Basketball operations. Nepotism is running wild in this organization.

He's had that position for over two years already.  I don't think it's a new job since the Schlenk announcement.  
And, rich owners always seem to involve their kids.  I don't see that as a huge red flag, as it seems to be the norm.  Since we've pretty much never heard a word about Nick Ressler the last two years, I doubt he does much other than "learn on the job" anyway.

Nick is the Director of BBall ops and has been for 2 years. 

Travis was the President of BBall ops, this role now goes to Fields.

TS will have a say. I don't know if you are aware of the Falcons and how they operate but this is literally the Rich McKay situation for the Hawks. TS is going nowhere unless he wants to leave at some point. This promotion makes him basically fireproof because Fields is the true GM now. And if things don't work out then Fields would be the one held accountable...not TS.

TS just got the best CYA job in sports. He has a legit say in what goes on, he has a direct voice to the owner and best of all for him there is zero accountability for his position. It is a win/win scenario for TS.

We're going to be disappointed for sure.   JC by himself is going to get us Crowder/saric or shamet or bojan/filler.   If Bagley comes to the Hawks though I'll be super pissed. 

The 'surprise' team i don't know.
