Just saw Bruno in Lenox.  He looked smaller than I expected.  He really defends bigger than he is, always showing his hands and what not.

Did we (since I am you) try to recruit him to Liami? 

On a similar note, I saw Prince in a similar area when he was a Hawk.  Dude legs seemed way too skinny.  TV does add pounds, I guess.

Lastly, if you were in Lenox, hope you had your flak jacket tucked into your cotton dockers. I don't wanna be posting to a 'R.I.P. hillbilly' thread.

If we get the Kings pick next year we are only at one first round pick deficit.  
The thing people trip about is that tanking isn’t an option, but do we really want to tank anyways?

I mostly agree with you but it is nice to have guys that can contribute on rookie scale deals.  We have never been able to sign great vet mins so it helps with depth.

Saw these former Hawks ovet the years at random places:

. Steve Smith at my doctors's office

. Kevin Willis by the old MLK center

. Shelvin Mack in a Walmart 

. De'Andre Bembry at Lennox

. Taurean at Cumberland Mall

. Jamal Crawford at a Walgreens

That’s the thing.  We’ll likely get the Kings pick next year, we still get a first round pick in 2026, and 2027 is the only scheduled year we miss out on a pick.

Either way we win. We either watch Philly or the Knicks suffer!

This is a brutal series to watch, because I want both teams to lose.  It's like picking between a crackhead and a meth-head.

100% agree with this. I do like the guard play though. Brunson vs Maxey has been fun to watch.

It's also cute that Trae's shot vs Loston last year drew criticism as a "bad shot".

But, per the same eggsperts, Maxey's shot was cLuTcH..
