We are showing you exactly what we want from 4s. Defensive switching is everything. Yeah, keeping JJ and Gueye would be good. They could do the Onyeka, Bruno pairing at center which I think they will do. Bruno has been engaged with the team at summer league. Capela and Hunter have been no-shows. I think Gueye will be real good. Don't know the ceiling but he has some good tools already. Edited July 10, 2023 by theheroatl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member JeffS17 Posted July 10, 2023 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Either way, Hunter/Collins going out and Siakam coming in leaves us one starting wing shy. I would have assumed Bey would fill that hole, but if he also goes out in the deal, we are going to have a tough decision to make. Bogi could theoretically start but we'd be really undersized. Other option is moving JJ into the starting position but I don't think he's ready. I can't see how we ship Bey out without having a big hole. Our 3/4 depth is lacking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be Bey stays.. no clue yet but I'm sure Capela Hunter going out someway so just plan for those holes for now. Wouldn't be surprised if the extend Siakam right after trade. Not sure if they can do trade and extend or not.. Hell, they do in in the MLB and that's why the Braves rolling now.. (Olsen and Murphy) I'm sure JayBird gonna come swoop in Edited July 10, 2023 by theheroatl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not, I promise lol. Role players can come and go but establishing a core of Trae/KAT on supermaxes is signing up for a bottom 5 defense perennially.

Could be, but the roster still makes more sense trading for him than either Brown or Siakam. You can't really argue that point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Popular Post Sothron Posted July 10, 2023 Premium Member Popular Post Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Got an update: Siakam and KAT are the main two targets. Team would rather have Siakam because his defense is better than KAT's (I love KAT and can't argue this). It sounds like Toronto is willing to accept a more fair deal for him. It also sounds like Siakam is willing to stay in Atlanta. Hunter would be the main piece we send to Toronto. One source said "it might be getting spicy soon in the ATL" so take that FWIW. 16 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Hunter is going to be a part of the deal so it would probably be Bey over him. 21 minutes ago, JeffS17 said: Coaching.

Premium Member Popular Post Sothron Posted July 10, 2023 Premium Member Popular Post Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 I have to point out Hunter is the main piece for either KAT or Siakam. He knows this. Capela also knows he is being shopped around as well as a third trade partner to help make those other deals happen. 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang I have wanted Siakam here for two years. If he doesn't work out I definitely will be eating some crow. Will really give it to the FO for bringing in two top NBA talents with DM and Siakam in two years. Next will be adjusting the role players to suit a big 3. So cool! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
