Observations: Apparently Troy Brown never took a photo before age 16

Landry Shamet has been hooping since before he could walk.

And Wendell Carter peaked in cuteness at age 2. :lol:

Read on Twitter



Actually that is Troy at the age of 2. He has Greg Oden disease.

I just want us to draft a player who is A. Good, B. Successful, and C. Stays with us a while.

I want to buy a jersey, my first since I got an AI one when I was like 9.

I'd I'd just like to take a second and say how much more vibrant this forum has been since our Hawksquak guests arrived (well, there no longer guests, but rather full fledged members at this point). The past year on this board has been a blast, and I look forward to many more good years on here through this rebuild.

Not to let the junior mod get all the good juju.

It has been great to see the influx of new fans from that "Site-that-shall-not-be-named". A lot of good conversation and more faces to helps us out on the trades and transactions board when someone posts a Hawks deal.

Ah I see. I saw you said you got a Horford jersey when you were 9 and added 11 to it, I take it you originally meant 19?

In that case, I'll reclaim the title of youngest on the forum :)

Is Fultz that damaged 12 months into his career?

Memphis should strongly consider this deal if it's available.

Hell, if we could trade back from #3 to #5...I'd then be willing to trade #5 for this package and just be flush with young prospects this year.

Fultz, Mikal Bridges, #26, Dallas 2019 and/or 2021 1st rounders is greater than just Doncic.


76ers Considered Trading Markelle Fultz, Nos. 10 & 26 To Move Up For Michael Porter Jr.

The Philadelphia 76ers held internal talks about packaging Markelle Fultz as well as the No. 10 and No. 26 picks to move into the top-5 to select Michael Porter Jr., according to sources.

The 76ers moved away from that strategy due to Porter's recurring back issues.

Fultz will be the favorite to start at shooting guard for the 76ers next season if JJ Redick leaves in free agency.

The 76ers traded up to select Fultz just a year ago, sending the Sacramento Kings' 2019 unprotected pick to the Boston Celtics.

My intention was to feature Markelle as a star with the possibility of using those future Mavericks draft picks to obtain one as well...
