I know but i thought the insiders were saying the thought is to put BI at SG here. was I seeing things ? Did supes and Mickey not say the FO was looking at BI as a SG here next to Trae ?

Atlanta sees BI as an SG, Hunter as an SF, and JJ as a 4. They are targeting a center this offseason. Maybe two. I knew I wasn’t trippin with what I saw! I understand that BI has always played the 3 but supes stated here that the hawks see BI as a 2. Therefore when watching him during this years playoffs I’m stating that I don’t see it but I understand the length that’s needed around Trae however we still need a POA defender in the deal as Hunter is too injury prone and seems to be a more quality player off the bench at least on this team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beals output just isn’t good enough for what he gets paid. He may be the new Tobias Harris and I mean that respectfully. Booker with Trae is a great offensive match. Defensively, eek. You would have to go all in on just out scoring the opponent. I’ve always said there were two offense only players who are such great fits with Trae that I’d get and just go all out offense. Devin Booker and Karl Anthony Towns. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 This guy hears things on the pels side. Now what he is suggesting is for Trae and not Dejounte but sharing to say what many of us already know. Hawks covet Herb more than anybody on the pels roster. The BI + Dyson deal is cool but it is not what they are focused on. They didn't take Herb for DJ + Onyeka at deadline but I think it will be a big conversation in the summer 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb fits the Hawks most dire need for POA perimeter defense. However, more has to come back for Trae. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bird_dirt Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 I have confidence Quin could get peak performance from BI and it would make a significant net gain compared to what we’ve been working with. BI last five years hawks by comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know what more you guys want then possibly the best perimeter defender on one of the best contracts in the league. DJM is not valuable around the league...

Right, that's an enticing deal but CJ is just bad salary and Herb, while a great POA defender, cannot do much on offense. Not even close to equitable for Trae Young, particularly when you consider you're about to pair him with Zion. You saw Herb's limitations in the post season as he struggles to create for himself or others (like 2 assists : 3 turnovers per game) and is mostly a spot up shooter. Maybe if you do a Griffin/Murphy III swap as well it's fair value. Or let us dump Clint over for Vuc or Nance. HAs to be something more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB21 Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 This is why Ingram does not fit alongside Trae. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member JeffS17 Posted April 29 Premium Member Report Share Posted April 29 I'll be surprised if he gets a max deal. Teams are not giving those out like candy anymore, given the new CBA and the implications of going above the apron. Any GM watching the playoffs right now can just look to that $50M performance by Bradley Beal last night to see why it's not a good idea to reward high usage mediocrity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
