PG is 34 … his body is broken down … we are paying for Indiana PG but getting Clipper PG … he is not that player anymore.

He's on the block for a reason

The problem with Kawhi is that he plays when he wants to play and if he doesn't want to play, he gets some mysterious mysterio bug or big toe ailment.   Plus, he's home in LA.. remember, he's the King of LA. 

 

Is this where we're pretending George doesn't do the exact same thing? 

And I told you I hath spoken.  That's like saying 'the defense rests'.  Geez, dies-o.

Lively maybe gets 10 mpg for us first year barring some major injuries. Most rookies are 3-4 year projects. If we’re indeed a win now team, then all this talk of multiple firsts sounds strange. Unless of course Quin has convinced ownership that he needs to overhaul the team around Trae. Very interesting times now for our Hawks. Today and the next few months should answer a lot of questions about where they stand. 

@Eddielives

I can agree with a lot of what you said.   However, 95% of this is just draft fever.   There's a 5% chance that we actually do anything.   It's just that we have a new GM and a new FO and the talk is that we're busy so everybody has become unhinged with machinations of what we're going to do.  If Landry speaks to Usuriji then the next thing you know the report is that the Hawks are making strong moves for Siakam.

PG is 33 and has about 12 Months before he's 34...  If you were a PG fan, you would know such things. 

 

ear	Team	GP	Min	Pts	FG%	3pt%	Reb	Ast	Stl
2022-23	Clippers	56	34.6	23.8	45.7	37.1	6.1	5.1	1.5
2016-17	Pacers	75	35.9	23.7	46.1	39.3	6.6	3.3	1.6

 

I thought this would be fun...  since you talked about Indy PG.  We offered Indy  4 1st rounders for INDY PG with those stats.

Notice Last years PG...

Aside from the missing games...   Not only is he Indy PG... hell he might be better?

PG is a better defender than both Hunter and JC combined... are you kidding?

 

Are you kidding?   You have to be on the court to guard somebody and when you're on the court you have to actually care.  It also helps not to be in your mid 30s.

The other day I saw this clip of a Fat Kid Muscling Wimby in the post.   He was abusing him.    Fat Kid, made Zion Williams look like he was healthy and in great shape.   The Clip was erased from the internet by NBA gastopos....   My point is guys like Wimby, Lively, and Clowney are coming to the league way too frail.  It's going to be some guy like Jarace Walker or Jackson-Davis who takes them guys in the low post and thrash them. 

 

That fat kid is Kenneth Lofton Jr, who is in fact a beast.

The only difference between him and Zion is he isn’t a high flyer and didn’t have a social media team promoting him since middle school.

He's not only missing games....he's missing the games that matter most - in THE PLAYOFFS!

In all seriousness, I wish we had more dogs like this. The only reason we don’t hear about him is because his body type is held against him opposed to Zion who is popular and gets a pass. You can’t tell me they don’t have the same game and bully anyone that gets in their way.

Jake fischer dropped new article:

• Says hawks were in talks with indy to send dre their but talks fell through cause indy didn't want to include 7th pick and that the deal they made with Denver may have furthered the likelihood of dealing being done.
• have discussed multiple scenarios for a siakam deal including three teamer
• JC, Clint, and DJ mentioned as trade candidates

Yeah, this was it.  There were a few more minutes in the Clip but I just noticed that it was 2 years ago.   I can give Wimby a break because of experience.. but then again, Lofton Jr. was young too...  But Lofton's dad was a great Athlete.   Where is this guy?

 

[Dejay]

Not only does PG has a LONG history of injuries, but isn't he owed like $45M this coming season? How many guys would they need to ship out to match that salary?

[georgia]

Jake Fischer just said Hunter was going to Indy last night but it fell apart - they would  not flip their 7 pick

we are after pascal too

I've seen the Tyson Chandler comparison and year 4 is when he made his big jump for whatever that is worth.

Ya that thing took a while. I’d say Tyson was getting way better as a vet than when he was younger. The trajectory of his improvement was weird it kinda aged like a good which is more rare for a shot blocking big imo.

Eh, I'm not a zion fan (at all) but I think there's a little more differentiating the two.

Lofton has had chances with Mempis, iirc.

Oof.  My reaction to seeing that is like some old grandma looking in her grandson's phone and seeing a buncha porn.

Oh lawd, jeebus! 

Did this happen to “your friend” by any chance?
