The possibility of JB to ATL in a Dame to Boston scenario has to keep our FO from pulling the trigger on anything else. I certainly hope so.... (Hope that Tony told Nick to go to timeout until the JB situation is resolved). Keep your eyes on the prize (JB) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was anticipating us adding some vet contributors to the roster rather than getting younger so this makes some sense to me. It also means we are adding someone who knows the Spurs system inside and out and can help our young vets learn it. This is different than Vince more because the team is at a different stage than we were with Vince. I don’t expect that Mills has a lot of gas left in the tank but he was playing 29 minutes per game over 81 games just one season ago. I keep telling y'all, Rome was not build in a day. Hawk fans have zero patience! This team is not a contender for next year no matter who they add. Now if some of these young players to pan out like Gueye actually turns into Siakam and Jalen finds an outside shot, then we have something. But right now we are a play in team or slightly better if everybody gets better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were overweighted towards young players with like a half dozen who weren’t expected to be in the rotation. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite popular belief, ain't nobody on this roster gonna drag us any further than we have been like those true MVPs do. I guess I should have no opinion on the trade.

We are definitely still building and still have lots of young talent. Most of the team is under 26 years old and we have 3 rookies. Mills is someone who can help the coaches integrate people into a system. He should know where the coaches want people to be on both sides of the ball. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Mule Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 Quit wishing and wanting these super max players that take up all your payroll. They didn't carry their present team to the promised land and they will not carry Atlanta. I really like everything the GM and his assistants have done.

Mr Goal post mover? He also had Jimmy Butler, James Harden and Ben Simmons (when he was good) as teammates. Who the Hawks roster equates to those three?

Yeah but look at the rest of that roster...Harden is definitely not the league MVP Harden from 5-6 years ago. Plus harden is a head case just like Simmons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
