txsting Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 Just now, txsting said: Good arguments for recouping value for Capela. I could see that as being a good option. Let's also consider the other way to go, which kg mentioned. Keep Capela, but reduce his role (and value) and drive up Okongwu value by giving him many of Capela's minutes. Then trade Kong at the height of his value and extend Capela on the cheap. If Kong really does take a huge leap you still have the option to sign him if there isn't a good trade out there. If he flounders you are protected by the prospect of extending Capela cheaply. Of course this only works if your coach is in complete lock step with your front office.

You got a point and shooting guard who aren't even close to 200 soaking wet. These are the guys they're being asked to guard... Don't even get me started on Hunter.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s sad these big men practice these moves and never (get to) use them in a real game. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spud2nique Posted July 28, 2023 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 Instead of zigging I say we zag and grab OG while they are worried about Siakam. What is still unknown is if the new extension rules are enough to keep O.G. Anunoby in a Toronto Raptors uniform for the foreseeable future. Anunoby is eligible to sign an extension up to $116 million over four years, a $16 million increase from the prior rule. – via NBA Insiders @ ESPN OG Anunoby, Toronto Raptors 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones just went out, did the work, stayed healthy, and got paid. OG has been oft-injured, been good in spots, and he's out here begging for shots and role and money and on and on and on. EZPass. Find me the next Herb Jones. OG tryna be a poor man's Jerami Grant. Put up shots, get numbers. Win? Eh, we'll see. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators macdaddy Posted July 28, 2023 Moderators Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 On the one hand I'm happy if the players are getting more of the pie but in reality the pie is just getting bigger partly because the owners will keep raising ticket prices. I love the Hawks but i only go to a handful of games because i can't spend thousands on attending every year. I'm always surprised that so many people can do it. Maybe it's just priorities. I like to go with friends where i just have to pay for myself. Taking the family is like a dang beach vacation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
