What does the ideal lineup around Trae even look like?

Any interest?

36 years old and his decline has been noticeable.

Asking price?
This determines so much because I don't see the value I once did.

Is he willing to play for us?

If we can imagine this lineup with Bog over 40%, DD, JJ, Vit, Trae and Ris at least 35%, Gary at 45%, we can hope. Kobe seems hopeless and should be trade for a better fit

OO seems to fit but he is playing quite poorly. CC does not fit. Apart from good rim running he brings little. Just isn't the force he was.

DD is averaging more blocks than either CC / OO / LNJr

The model for Risacher?
(Once he gets that shot fixed.)

The most reasonable high level outcome for Zacch Risacher.

The rebounding, rim-running, high screening big man the Hawks desperately need right now:

What do you trade for him?

Where do you play him? JJ is much better player

Good to see him play better though

He's no longer attainable.

But he was the best PnR partner Trae ever had. An elite play finisher...

He should be starting at Center right now NEXT to Jalen Johnson.

NOTE: How do we still not have an adequate backup PF? :banghead:

UTH would trade him in a second if they could get value

Yeah we need to improve the PF/C rotation. We need a better starting C and a back up PF. There is very little money to spend on back up PF though

Yeah, but Danny Ainge is gonna jack up the price like he always does.

JC is playing better, not that I care since he's not a Hawk though

It is a contract year for him and he is a bag man. He wants to opt out and get another bag.... If he keeps playing this level it might work

The player I want from UTH is Fili

He would have been great here...

He fell out of the first round of a weak draft class.

Hawks could have gotten him if they really wanted. :nonono:

Yeah, I don't like to see a player fall in the draft for non basketball / non trouble reasons.

Fili was mocked in the lottery until late in the college season

I have a theory that all of the people in the Hawk's FO that played in NBA were wings. I don't think that they like big men

DD and Ris gonna have to shoot much better fron 3pt if they want to be starters. So many qualities but can't shoot 30% 3pt

BB wouldn't be the worse pickup for the low-low price of a single 2nd Round Pick...

(Makes you wish we hadn't surrendered Five 2nd Rounders for 1.5 seasons of Saddiq Bey last year, right?)

Could be a nice target for the Center spot next year...
