And that's not even our worst trade which is sad...................

I usually like Perk but this some Monday morning QB crap. I don’t believe anyone thought Huerter was gonna stop being a little b!tch right away or ever.

This ain’t the problem. Nobody saw Huerter playing as well as he has in Sac. 
 

This is nit picking and sidestepping the real issues. 
 

Fck Huerter he’s gone now.

This is indeed hindsight eggspertin'.  The Heurter trade was met with a resounding 'yawn' by everyone other than Hawks fans.  Now that he's doing well, everybody got all this insight.

I don't think we would have all the bitching and moaning if we would have gotten more out of the trade. 

Maryland Kev always had potential.

The Huerter trade was bad because they basically gave away a talented player.  But, more so than that, it really highlights the total lack of an effective offensive scheme.  The Hawks run a heliocentric iso offense not because that have to, but because they want to.  Guys are either underperforming or not getting the opportunity to flourish because of it.  From a talent perspective, even with the injuries, the Hawks are much better than we've been allowed to see.

Only thing you didn't cover here is Heurters defense, which is not bad.  It's not good, maybe slightly above average, but it's infinitely better than Bogis.  If we were serious about winning, we would have offloaded Bogi in any way possible and kept Heurter, who is on a very team friendly deal that is already looking like a steal.  He would be a perennial 6MOY candidate and could easily get 30+ minutes a game with our lineups.

They lost Kevin but gained AJ. How much is Kevin playing at F and  G?

Kinda true but we could've had both.  Or, at worst, could've had actual assets from trading kev instead of 'savings', which is ultimately all we got.

Sounds good in theory re: doing whatever possible to unload Bogi.
But think about this, one of the other reasons for trading Huerter was to gain a pick to restock the cupboard from the picks given up in the Murray trade. Trading Bogi would have most likely cost us a pick which would have been or 2022 pick (AJ) or our upcoming 2023 pick.

It's highly protected.  And drafting well is meaningless if you're going to trade away the player to save money as soon as they get a contract.  It's really tough to see that pick as any kind of silver lining.

We just used a highly protected Charlotte pick to complete the Murray trade so there is value in the pick received. (And I'm not saying the trade was a good trade)

Sacramento's 1st round pick to Atlanta protected for selections 1-14 in 2024, 1-12 in 2025 and 1-10 in 2026
