Hawks should just blow it up, who cares about their pick. They can recoup picks/assets by unloading their veterans. Bogdanovic and Murray are on excellent contracts.

If Portland has so many talented young players then why are they so bad?

Most teams could have landed this guy in 2nd round IF they wanted. Too talented not to take a chance. Raps scouting department taking Ls lately.

Cam Whitmore also impressive tonight.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

Thing is, they say that Trae and Jalen Johnson are untouchable so really that doesn’t seem to be a path for them. In the end, I just don’t see how you can build around a player as flawed as Trae on defence on a super-max contract while not wanting to go deep in the tax. I’m not saying it is impossible if you throw huge money at it, though I have my doubts. But if they keep Trae, they’ll want to keep trying to win. They can dump all the salary they want, but they will end up in the same place. Up against the tax and mediocre.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

I just hope we did not miss on the next Jesus Shuttleworth (Jordan Hawkins)

After winnng me a Championship (that Gasol trade) there is absolutely NOTHING Masai and Bobby can do for me to lose faith in them like ever
However :lol: , I just want to better understand the thought process of selecting Gradey over Jordan Hawkins. Even if Gradey ends up as the next Gordon Hayward.

New Orleans is probably the most talented team in the league, by far?

Hawks are in a similar situation as Raptors

Nonstop rumours aren’t good for the team. Better to trade sooner than later for both franchises.

Monty seems to still be grieving (I know he re-married). Sometimes his comments seems off. Probably better off just be a lead assistant in the future. Seems burnt out.
