Him and KAT will be an excellent pairing. Thats alot to carry. We're gonna need another defender off the bench for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the beginning of my descent to madness? Or my resurrection from madness? Either way, I blame @Sothron... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the front office feel confident that a team with Trae and KAT can win a chip? I do think it depends on who we give up, but OO, Hunter and DJM are good defensive pieces. I also trust Snyder to make it work. I always say late game defense and overall defense are two different beasts. Can you get a stop when it matters? CC has always been good at overall defense, but I’ve never thought in late game situations that they aren’t going to score on us because we have CC in the paint. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleachkit Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) KAT's numbers from last year are not that great. He has missed a lot of games too. He's one the worst defensive centers. And he has a massive contract. Things to consider here. Edited July 6, 2023 by bleachkit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OO is so much more versatile that he's much more useful come playoff time. He can switch defend the perimeter, his instincts are elite, he is super strong and defends two of the best bigs in the East very well (Giannis and Embiid). I am hoping his extension can be negotiated and announced soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes a change of scenery can do a player good, but you are not wrong about these concerns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still holding out hope Masai comes to his senses and takes the Hunter plus young players deal. I know there are some big KAT fans here but I don't see it.

Popular Post KB21 Posted July 6, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 Don’t see KAT as having Hawks DNA. Is he going to sacrifice individual success for team success? He’s so bad defensively as well. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't have to pay much for him, it's worth the experiment -- at least that's my take on KAT. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ShooterSays Posted July 6, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 KAT is the better fit imo compared to Siakam. More size next to OO and better spacing for Trae. I think he’ll be fine on defense. OO takes the tougher cover and KAT can guard the Lopez’s and Horford’s of the East. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleachkit Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 The biggest concern is missing games. Once guys start missing 30 or 40 games a year, often they never get back to top form. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Popular Post JeffS17 Posted July 6, 2023 Premium Member Popular Post Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 If it is KAT, it's at least fair to call out the PGs he's been playing with over his career... gotta believe Trae will open up his game even more.
