Come on man, you know that when Murray finally gets dealt, we'll be hearing about how the Heat decided to wait for someone better.

Atlanta is looking for at least two first-round picks, according to The Ringer. The Hawks are not looking to take back salary past this season, league sources told HoopsHype.

Since it’s Haynes I don’t think it’s a total fabrication. In which case either:
1. Horst is being aggressive offering Bobby+ and maybe he’ll shock the world with another creative deal.
2. Middleton is on the table.
Very interesting whichever it is.
Think Brook being on the table should be on the list here too. Contract size is there and he's the 'square peg' in this system.
If something comes of this and you come out with Murry and Hunter I'd take it. I just see no way that's possible with MKEs assets or if ATL drastically overvalues Brook or Khris given their ages and/or injury histories
Yeah maybe they feel brolo can work with Quinn's d and help offset young on that side of the court....but more importantly it's a 2 year contract. Or a big expiring next year. I think the hawks get better offers sadly.

I squandered an asset? Then Hammond taught me well.

You made a point and people listed off that like half the teams of the last 20 years have had guys like that. Then add in the guys that shoot midranges but were good at D (which I don't know why they're excluded in a discussion about offense) and its likely every team got a major top 3-4 guy on their team with midrange as their prime scoring route. So, no.
Because it's the least efficient shot that draws the least amount fouls and generally the make % is very similar to 3pt %.. so if a guy were to choose the least effective weapon to fight with then at least be a dog on defense to add to your value. In my memory there were some weak defenders that won it all but mostly they were lights out at shooting 3s like Korver which is the most efficient shot with the least amount of turnovers if your handles aren't very good. This is why 3 and D guys became the moneyball hack to put around your superstars because it's the highest efficiency roles put together.
Do you remember what Detroit was doing when they won that Chip? Didn't they beat Kobe with zero superstars? Billups, Sheed and them... it was all aggressive D and inside out ball.. a bunch of role players that the best ball handler draw and kick and the others knock down 3s or pump fake. We have 2 superstars.. imagine what some 3 and D role players like that could accomplish here
Dude we all know 3s is more efficient than 2 in general if all things are equal. But its good to have all bases covered. You also have to remember that Ds these days also know 3s are better and try to take them away and you get forced into 2s. Especially in the playoffs when Ds clamp down, its good to have folks who can hit tough contested shots. You can keep digging your hole deeper but we all just listed off that the vast majority of title teams and near title teams have had guys like this.
Oh good example btw who I forgot on that Pistons: Rip Hamilton midrange dynamo. You made a point against yourself.
The Murray buzz is only increasing — and to noisy levels. The Lakers and Hawks have discussed potential frameworks of a deal, including a version late last week that centered on Russell, Hood-Schifino, the 2029 first-round pick and additional draft compensation, according to multiple team and league sources. Talks have since stalled, but are expected to pick back up closer to the deadline.

The Hawks think Bobby is like 22/10 a game as a starter and view him on equal footing as dejounte (LOL)
The Bucks offered Brook to pari with Trae and they really like that prospect (we are ****)

Yup, we can beat that, in a multi team scenario

If that’s what you think the market-makers do, never gamble.
