Hawks should sign...

[Diesel]

TJ Warren to a 10 day contract.

One of the Mat(t)hews must go.

 

[Gray Mule]

What date is it possible to sign a player to a 10-day contract?

  I know that it comes somewhere in the season.  Have we arrived there?

Man, that dude ain't been healthy since ..... ever.  That's just adding another question, not an answer.  

Our answers come via trade.  No more nibblin' at the edges by signing done-zo vets.

"I'm 100 percent healthy now. The foot injuries were a part of my career during those two years. I feel like I was reaching a crazy pinnacle right around the bubble. It was a great situation. Unfortunately, I had the injuries, and it set me back a little bit," Warren told HoopsHype. 

 

A 10 day contract or 2 is not going to hurt anything. 

The thing is that this guy can go out and get points.  He's a valid 3 pt shooter.  In the two seasons he was called on to be a three point shooter, he shot 43 and 40% .  He can play defense.   He's got good size.   I would give him a look.

What is it Feb 8th? 
 

Just my 2 cents here but instead of wasting his time with weird all star scoring and in season tourney’s, can Adam Silver do some practical stuff like maybe slide the trade date up to like I dunno, mid January, I mean, teams that wanna deal and are looking to make noise in the playoffs (like us) need to get a bit longer with new additions to the club. 
 

I dunno, maybe the rest think the deadline is good early February. I’d like it slid up 3 weeks or so.

None of this is true.  If it were, he'd be on a team.

And, again, even if he's healthy it's a lead-pipe lock guarantee it's not gonna stay that way.  This is nibblin'..  we can't afford to nibble anymore.  Maybe after the major moves we need to make, we call up TJ as a roster body.  Deal?

Actually, we can nibble.  We just want to hold on until we see what we have with JJ in the mix.  About his health, was it you who said the same thing about Malcolm Brogdon a few years ago when I mentioned his name?  And when we got to the playoffs, he was part of the reason why we went home.   I'm saying giving him a look is cheap.   The one we can't trust is Dre.  Dre is supposed to be our 3/D player and everytime I look around, he's out with a hangnail or a itchy back or something. 

Warren is hungry.  You give him a chance, he may come in here and try to Take Dre's Job.

Celtics traded Brogdon because of his health issues so I'm not far off there.

And are you suggesting mid-a** TJ can be as impactful as Brogdon?  If so, it would be the first time in his career.  That guys just a guy.

We won't know until we give him a try?  About Brogdon,   Celtics traded the 6th man of the year in order to get Jrue Holiday.   It was an upgrade considering that they had just lost their starting PG. 

Back to Warren...
He's a vet.  Dude has never put up Bum numbers. 

As far as his injury. He had a stress fracture of the Navicular bone.   It's a long rehab with a very high rate of recovery.  He's done that.  Signing him for 20 days  or even the rest of the season doesn't put us at any risk.  We'd lose either one of the Matthews or a 2W player at worse.   Can he be as impactful as Brogdon?  Maybe.  That's why you bring him in.  What you don't do is speculate him away and watch him go somewhere else and Blow up and say.. "Damn.  We should have given him a look. "

I'm not fighting anymore.  Frankly, we've put more work into this dispute than TJ has put on the court the past few years.  I'm exhausted.

Yeah, I should let him know that I'm expecting 10%.

Is Darius Bazley of interest to anyone here? I always thought of him as a guy that could flourish in the right environment. The Hawks need all the long, athletic guys they can get their hands on.

I like Bazley too.. and Stanley Johnson..   I think either guy could step in for a second.  The good news is that JJ is expected to be back Tuesday!!

Bazley could help as much as meth-Bogi does, I imagine.  Got length and could defend .... some, I guess.  Make it happen, hawkm.

After years of jousting against @Spud2nique on StanJo the Banjo, I'm finally at a point where I'll relent to adding him as a body.  You win, squd!

Oh, I think he can contribute a lot more than Garrison. I'd much rather see Bazley be the first guy off the bench or even be an emergency starter than Garrison or Wes.

Yeah, but that's what we thought about Culver too ...

True. But Culver's shot was BROKEN broken. In fact, it was so broken it made him unplayable because he wasn't good enough at anything else.
