Keep in mind that while Washington is only 6’7”, he has a 7’2.5” wingspan. He can play bigger, and I’d imagine we may look to bulk him up a little more too.

Last year as a starter he averaged 13/6.5/2.5/1.1/1.2 and 1.8 threes per on 38.6%.

Get this mans.

With Oladipo coming back, have to think Gabe goes back to the bench. Would also much rather keep Yurt if it came down to it

the gabe has been playing well and you wanna trade him because dipo may be stealing the spot. there's no guarantee that he will be back 100 percent or that he may re injure himself out of nothing

Surprises aside, the same cast of characters that have been circulating in the shadows ie Morris, Grant, Barnes (your personal favorite) and Grant.

Not sure if that is sarcasm or a case of having the wrong poster in mind, I’ve never been much of a Barnes fan lol. I would probably rather have him the next two years than Duncan though.

I’m aware enough of your posting history 8-)

It would be a risk, but I think Gabe is easily replaceable if the need for a backup pg arises again. If it means keeping Yurt I’m all for it

Literally just plug him in the exact role as Tucker when he comes in the game and he’ll be perfect in it.

Spo is a perfect fit for the east all star team… as it’s a very small team and spo loves small ball

Why can't Bam be the PW that we need? I think what we need is a center who can shoot and defend the rim. I don't understand.. Why trade for a player that is very similar to Bam's game? We need size, not shooters.

Preach jele. Need Riley whispering in Spos ear bout the beauty of big men. Kareem, Ewing, Zo, Yurt.

One of the big reasons Miami drafted and then gave Bam the max was his ability to play center and to allow basically the whole team be switchable on defense. If you add a regular center to the mix it dramatically changes the defense. I'm not saying it's right but that's what their thinking has been with Bam, he's a defensive system, move him to PF and it takes away some of his value.

BAM is not moving to the 4 spot, the faster we accept it the easier you will sleep at night.

its good to take risks in once in awhile but sometimes doing so can break things up. this team is clearly headed for a deep playoff stunt if not for the nba finals. if aint broke it why fix it?

lets see what riley does, my gut tells me that he will stay put

Yeah I think pat is satisfied with the team as is with all the depth. Maybe it will be something like last year. KZ for somebody who fell out of favor on another team. Thad young maybe?

Idont know, it feels like Barnes would solidify us as the new Hawks

Barnes has been dead to me since he shot golden state out of that title. Easy pass

I might as well be captain of the Harrison Barnes fan club huh :lol:
