Glad we could entertain you in a classy manor.

I understand what you're saying. Would love to get JV myself, but I think I would rather just cough up one of our protected picks and send DMC somewhere for the Raps than to give up Prince.

I think he is top 12 center for next 3 to 5 years, with an awesome contracts. In terms oF minnesota pick, it has a lot of protection place on it I dont foresee the T wolves being a playoff team any time soon.

I also Bascially traded picks for cap space. to keep them ultra competitive, nor did I overpay anyone with outrageous deals. so the going rate for a bottom rotation Top 9 seems to be around around 8 million, I just elected to sign 5 of them.

In terms of ZBO I think he is has special talent in the paint and worth a little more even thought he would be the third big on this team

Seriously you guys mitigate to see the value in the cap space I created.

I also truth Dennis Schroeder more than may you guys do , I really like his game. this also goes for Bembry who reminds me of young Gerald wallace. I am sorry I gave up Prince, as a cap casulaty but

In terms of Kent Bazemore and Wilson Chandler, Bazemore is younger and more well rounded, but i hate his contract, and he has some deficiency. On the other hand Chandler has great contract, and get be a professional scorer for Atlanta, also I think he is transition into small ball 4 something bazemore can not.

IN terms of free agents moves, I think the team I construct was very thought out. check this out, that I saw from Kevin Pelton from Espn

25. Alan Williams


Phoenix Suns
Center
Age: 24
Restricted

Projected 3-Year WARP: 10.3 | 2016-17 RPM: 0.6 | 2016-17 WARP: 2.7

Getting regular playing time after the Suns shut down Tyson Chandler, Williams averaged 17.6 points and 14.8 rebounds per 36 minutes in his second NBA season. He's one of the league's best rebounders and a surprisingly effective shot blocker at 6-foot-8.

Don't be surprised if Williams forces his way into more playing time next season.

I watch a alot of basketball being NY metro area, and Kilpatrick does have making of starter, in this league. Trevor Booker, is the exact type of player that Coach Budenholzer would love to have. He has some great elements to his game.

I think it comes down to the difference in opinion of Dwight v.s. Jonas. I think most Atlanta fans aren't as high on Jonas as you appear to be, or as low on Dwight. Atlanta isn't going to have to give up multiple pieces to dump Dwight. I think the trade board shows a more accurate value of Dwight/Jonas.

Just wanted to pop in and say that I'm really enjoying this elegant back and forth in this debate.

Much appreciation to the OP for his thoughtful opening to the discussion and his contributions to the board.
