Re: 2018 Off-Season Thread

Just now waking up and see the reported trade i swear our (hawks gm) has to be the worst GM I’ve ever seen in this city. You are one of 2 teams in the league with cap space and you trade for salary and don’t even pick up a 1st round. To make things worse the 1st rounder everyone has been wanting you to trade goes in the same exact trade. We now would have 3 PGs on the team and one true SF on the whole roster. I’m still half sleep as I just woke up hits boggles my mind how we managed to screw up this offseason with the assets we had going into it.

The report on this trade I just read, said Dennis wants out ASAP.
And that is why they traded for Lin, report said Dennis will be traded in the next couple of days. I guess we will see.

Re: 2018 Off-Season Thread

i havent thought for 1 second schroeder would be on atlanta when the season starts after the reports months ago he wanted out..its just a matter of finding a trade with his crap contract. hes probably going to have to settle on being the backup somewhere..maybe even for a trash team

Re: 2018 Off-Season Thread

All the idiots, Celtics fans specifically, reveling in IT's recent career trajectory, only make me want even more good fortune to go his way. I think coming off the bench in Denver could help recoup some of the lost potential income he had coming. Should be a good for him.

You play hurt they trash you

You don't play when hurt they trash you

I can see why players do what they feel is best for THEM

Re: 2018 Off-Season Thread

everyone gets some of the blame when it comes to IT.


he drastically overrates himself, so do the fans, and the c's screwed him with his hip injury. he needs to check his ego though, hes likely a career backup from now on and he needs to accept it or hes gonna turn into a 5'9 melo that nobody wants on their team

Re: 2018 Off-Season Thread

Like how the Nets have climbed their way back to stable ground. Put themselves in the position to turn over the entire roster at any time if they choose. Solid job considering where they started from.

Re: 2018 Off-Season Thread

If I were a player in today’s league I would sign nothing but big one year deals. Less guaranteed money but most likely more per year and all my freedom.

If you’re a single dude then yeah. But if you’re married with kids, then it’s a whole other issue.

Re: 2018 Off-Season Thread

Denver has agreed to send Kenneth Faried, Darrell Arthur, a 2019 protected first-round pick and a future second round pick to Nets for Isaiah Whitehead, league sources tell ESPN. Salary dump for Denver.

Well

Brooklyn has traded Jeremy Lin to the Hawks, league sources tell ESPN.


He went from Brooklin to ATLin

Damn....

Re: 2018 Off-Season Thread

pack, you think dlo or spencer is the PG of the future? or neither?

Re: 2018 Off-Season Thread

I don't see how anyone can justify the priority of the hawks being backup PG if Schroder is traded over a 1st round pick.

Its really not complicated take Faried, Arthur and the 1st round pick and go into next summer with your own pick which will be top 5 and then 3 other 1st round picks (cavs, nuggets, mavs) and cap space. Then at some point during the year trade Dedman to a playoff team for a 2nd round pick in a future draft.

I don't agree at all with trading Schroder for a bad contract like Noah or Biyombo if you do atleast pick up a 1st round pick in the process or a shorter contract while not giving up any assets. Dennis isn't a perfect player especially with his off the court stuff he is still 24 years old and averaged about 20 a game. He is one of the best in the NBA at driving and scoring its not like he is useless like Deng.

In the end its not complicated just use your cap space to get 1st round picks.

Finally read up on the trade from early this morning:

Spoiler

-Clears up the logjam we had at G and fills a huge hole we had with the lack of bigs. I’m assuming Arthur will get waived/bought out.

-Interested to see what we do with Faried. Crazy how he’s only 28 and seems like his best days have already passed him by but hopefully with our development staff, we can get him back to his earlier years when he was a one man Lob City, even if it’s just for one year.

-More draft picks yet again, including having 2 1st round picks next year.

-This doesn’t eat into our cap space for next year where we’ll have $50-70 Mil in space. Doesn’t mean that we’re going to splurge in one year but it feels nice having that flexibility. I still think we’re another 2 years away from being a player in the East but you can definitely see the light getting brighter at the end of the tunnel.

-Sucks that Lin was hurt for most of his time here but I hope he does good things in Atlanta. Keep those Dreads too man, lol. Hope Whitehead can land somewhere as well and continue to get opportunities.

-Sean Marks proving once again why he is a boss at building a team without having any tools to build from. To see the mess he inherited 2 years ago and seeing what he has turned that into now, without being nowhere near finished, is a ******* miracle.

I don’t think it’s Spencer though but the jury is still out on Russell, especially since he was hurt half of the season.

I’ll have a better answer for you in a year or maybe less than that depending on how either of them are playing.

Re: 2018 Off-Season Thread

The IT signing was so irrelevant I didn't get an alert from The Score for it. Damn.

Re: 2018 Off-Season Thread

Curious to see what, if anything, Chicago ends up doing with its cap space. Kinda wonder if they end up with Dennis Schroder at the end of all this. I know there's been some dot-connecting that they could potentially absorb Carmelo while getting a pick or two also.
