I think it's just that their front offices are actually trying.  We're tryna Masai (massage) our assets.  Just let it go, Queen Elsa.  Let it, i.e. these mismatched prospects and picks, go.... 

That's such an egregious accusation, I know you didn't really mean it

[macdaddy]

I can't think of anyone i'd like less than Jonathan Isaac.  He's barely played more games than JJ and AJ in 6 years.

last I heard was Pels are trying hard to get DJ/OO without giving up Zion and BI and we want one of those back for that kind of return. 

They need to send Zion.. it was destined

Our FO gets no respect.

You think they should??? I wouldn't respect these clowns if I were an opposing GM. If I saw everything Tony has done to be cheap, I'd be full on trying to take advantage of this FO and would not remotely consider taking a fair trade from them. They literally look like jackasses.

I mean it.  Come at me, jeffe. 

Or perhaps you're reading way too literally.

We even hired another former GM to help them. It's a hot mess.

Probably! 

My personal view is that not making moves is likely a good sign based on what I've seen floated around today and pre-deadline.  Unfortunately, we need time (Quin to turn things around on the court) before FOs are going to see us as anything other than desperate.  I'm sure a young GM that doesn't have existing relationships with all the other FOs isn't helpful.  This is all why I'm fine holding DM until the offseason.  The playing field got leveld quite a bit with the new CBA -- teams will need to salary shed even if their owner doesn't care about the tax, due to the restrictions (which fully go into effect next year) of being a tax paying team.

They will never go over the LT...

Zion would be pretty cool.  Not sure how he affects winning statistically, but I would be excited about it for sure..

[macdaddy]

So what are the chances we trade Capela for Mitchell Robinson?  Not sure how we have both Mitch and OO though.   Robinson will complain if he's not the starter next year i'm guessing.

My overriding issue is this - what is the plan? It was only keep Trae and Johnson, now it's adding.

I agree with this: rebooting the plan comment.  We need a consistent approach to our team building approach.

Has there been any reports of this 'preaching' in the Locker Rooms?

Not nessessarily, but Saying crazy stuff online like calling people you dont know the devil, etc does the same thing..

It makes some players uncomfortable.. You think Trae and the rest of the team just overlooked that shit?

I doubt it.. 

See Doc Rivers. Mark Jackson, David Robinson etc.. They tore locker rooms apart with it..

Some things should be done in private IMO...

EVERYBODY doesnt believe the same things...

Just my opinion

If we made that trade, I'm good with "may the best man win the job."  Earn it and the minutes are yours.  Both would eat.

Trae & Zion - Spudd & Nique reunion

I'm convinced you're the Resslers step son.

I was hoping the Hawks kicked the tires on Daniel Gafford. I think he could have helped with his size,rebounding, rim protection and defense.  Especially with the Hawks playing better and working harder on defense.

As long as it's not affecting the locker, and by all accounts it has not with his teammates, I don't really care. 

Doc, Mark, David all brought it directly to the locker room. So I don't equate the 2 at this point.

[SerbianHawk]

Supes, give us your [] info, it's boring here

[bleachkit]

A trade with the Pels is the only thing out there that makes any sense. I'm guessing they can't agree on draft compensation.
