theheroatl Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 There isn’t any definite KAT talk permeating the league and Atlanta certainly isn’t linked. It just is what it is. As for Siakam, we’ve been hearing that story for weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were practically celebrating. Now you are dismissing it as mere rumors. Ok, sure buddy. Actually I was not, but whatever make you feel better, champ!

TRW Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 No disrespect to our insiders but it just doesn't add up. KAT is a great offensive talent and horrendous defensive player. Sometimes it's painful watching this guy play defense. He appears to be a great person off the court but he simply isn't a winning player IMHO. I would be hesitant to acquire the $250-300 million in a player who can't stay healthy. That's business malpractice. By the trading deadline their could be a couple of big time players available. We have to be patient and ready to strike when these players become available. Now is not the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now is not the time. The whole reason they sold the farm for Gobert is because they though he could protect KAT. KAT is really bad on defense, one of the worst big men in the league in that regard.

Now is not the time. Not necessarily defending anyone, but I'd challenge you to spell this out for us. I venture to say there will not be players made available mid-year and, even if they are, that's the worst time to execute a significant trade. Who are you expecting to spring loose? And 'maybe someone' isn't an answer because a big name hasnt emerged in years at the deadline. Towns may not be the player, but I do believe now is the time. And, just so it's clear where I stand, I think they should wait for the Lillard situation to resolve because the available-player market will change after that. Jmho.

Now is not the time. This is part of the reason why Siakam is the FO number 1 choice and it’s well known that Towns isn’t great defensively. I think the hope is that Synder and staff can strategically keep KAT near the goal in majority defensive sets to limit his horrible feet defensively. If we land KAT in a trade I’d imagine that there will be a lot of zone defense with some switching added when necessary for positions 2-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleachkit Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 We might not be a significantly better team with KAT. In the 8 seasons he's been in Minnesota, they have only had a winning record three times. In those three winning years they were a 1st round exit each time. Not putting all the team struggles on him. But he hasnt been able to elevate the wolves beyond mediocrity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m with you because I’ve said the same thing for the past 5 years but the rumors out there he could be a Hawk makes me wanna defend him now. But if he stays a I’ll prolly keep bashing him. His D is quite horrendous. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least they consistently made the playoffs, but never got out of the 1st round until they got Spreewell and Cassell. Then KG goes to Boston and immediately becomes a NBA Champion, playing a slightly lesser role, and alongside 2 other Hall of Famers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
