6 straight road games, hopefully 6 straight Ls.

:D

HAWKS 31-26 lead at the end of 1st quarter. And our opponent had to hit a long 3 to keep it close.
I know that we're good but we can't continue this. Where is our tank? Is it out of commission?

A bad second quarter, blowing it with bad passes.
Where the offseason has more buzz happens.

:D

Great, close game! Prince hot - again! Tank running like a well oiled machine that it is. Hawks have all
these rookie players and these 10 day contracts playing so hard.

Where are all the old veterans? Traded away or released, that's where. And the youngsters keep the game
close, within striking distance, right up to the very end.

Can we keep this up until the season ends? We hope so.

Missed it to go watch the United game.

Good to see Prince still hot. I'd also listen to offers for him, see if someone's willing to massively overpay.

Taurean Prince scores 38 points.
We kept it competitive but the Bucks won.

With Bazemore out, Prince has a chance to show his entire offernsive repertoire.  He's effective with the ball making the right play to pass or shoot.

Prince has raised his trade value - The thing is, he has raised it up to the point that he is too good to be trade away.
Who could we obtain that would be greater than he has become?

Prince is not an old man in the way we count NBA players. Players in their 40's are counted as old. He's still young.
We Hawk fans count the rookie Collins as the most untouchable on the team. I believe Prince has added his name
to this list and we now have two.

Question: Who would you trade Prince for? Remember, the other NBA ream who owns the other player's contract
must agree to the trade.

Tanks for your answers !!

For years, we as a team/franchise/fan base have over valued our own players. For years, Josh Smith was too valuable to be moved. Teague was considered too valuable to be moved. Millsap was considered too valuable to be moved.

Taurean is a good young player, but this recent scoring outburst doesn't (IMHO) point to a higher ceiling than what was already there.

I'd package Taurean for a player 25 or younger with a higher ceiling, but whose stock might not be high right now or the player isn't a good fit on their current roster.

Combining assets for 23 year old Andrew Wiggins is a good example.
Oladipo last summer would be another.
Maybe gamble on a package for Markelle Fultz. Or Aaron Gordon.
Maybe for Dario Saric straight up.

I rather Prince over Wiggins.
As well as Fultz and Gordon.
I clearly rather him over Saric.

Dipo>>>Prince. I rather Dipo but Prince fits our system better than Dipo would.

Shcro, Prince and Collins all playing very well. This is key for development. Draft well, bring in a nice FA to a 3 year minimum deal and next season might be much more tolerable
