Fanbase approval rating: GM Travis Schlenck

[Buzzard]

A-

Trae is a stud.

Huerter is a stud.

Omari should be a rotational player

The Doncic trade will make us a crazy deep team in 3 years...scary good.

*Grades may change after trade deadline. He’s got some work to do.

A+

He also drafted the Grand Slam that is John Collins. Travis is great at evaluating talent and Pierce is looking like a rock solid coaching hire.

Good point. I guess the minus I gave was to avoid hawkism homerism but let’s face it...mostly our fans around here anyways.

Collins should be an all-star this year as a coaches pick. 19th pick all star is in the realm of GM Legends. Trae and Huerter are looking like the real deals. I honestly think after this years draft, provided the Dallas pick is ours, our rebuild will be complete as far as core talent is concerned. Then it will be just a matter of getting free agents, making trades, and later draft picks to fill in the gaps.

Pierce has this team playing way over what its experience level and stats would indicate. I don't care that Philly was missing Embiid. We still beat a team with two solid all stars, Butler and Simmons, and one of the best shooters, Redick, currently playing the game. And we beat them on their home court. We have some really outstanding wins against teams with all-stars; I give Coach Pierce all credit in the world for keeping this young team focused and believing in themselves.

He gets F minus. You don't trade once in a generation talent that is a guaranteed superstar for a short PG that can't defend and can't shoot. Doncic is the albatross around this franchise's neck for the next ten plus years. Sad thing is everyone but the idiot GM knew it.

[EazyRoc]

A solid ‘A’ from me. I don’t remember ever having back to back drafts like this. We have an All Star (caliber) at PF, a future star at PG, and possibly another young star in KH. If we make a very good FA pickup in the next few off seasons and this guys gets a real A+.

You've certainly come around on Trav. You and kg were ready to tar and feather him last spring...after the Budenholzer's defection.

Glad to see he's earned your trust after a frustrating few months.

It’s always risky to make change. A lot of my frustration came from the Bud fallout with the Hawks because I’m still a huge fan of the way Bud coaches and we have seen what he’s done with the Bucks. Unfortunately he didn’t want to rebuild with us and that was something we had to do.

Also didn’t help Schlenk was a Warrior. Lol.But as far as the moves he’s made so far, he’s been great at drafting Collins, Trae and Huerter. The Plumlee move wasn’t great and lack of trade deadline activity last year was disappointing. This next month will go a long way for me. We need at least 2 vets gone.

There is a tight market for Lin and Bazemore. Houston and New Orleans are probably the only teams willing to eat Bazemore's contract. New Orleans out of desperation to keep AD and Houston because they need another player if they really want to challenge the Warriors. There is a little bigger market for Lin since he is about half the price.

I am not expecting anything; but if it happens and we clear up playing time for our young players so be it.

Wait you’re not expecting anything? At all? Like even a minor trade. That would bring Schlenk’s grade down for me. He has to get in there this year and flip a couple vets imo.

Yes, but he shouldn't be trading for the sake of trading. If other teams are only offering lower second round picks (50+) in this year's draft you don't trade anyone. You'd be pissed if Travis sent Jeremy away for the 60th pick. I know I would.

I would like nothing more to have us flip the vets for 'real assets'. Not interested in taking on extra year salary for 2nds if those are the offers. (Some guy on the TnT board thinks Lin for Hill and his $13 mil next season and a 2nd is a deal NOP should offer the Hawks, smh).
Just let the vets expire and keep the offseason capspace.

I don't feel sorry for the whole Bud situation at all. BudCox ruined the team's future (or lack there of) and then Bud got mad when we had to rebuild. WE HAD TO REBUILD BECAUSE YOU SUCKED AS PBO.

PIcking up SRP withot adding 2020 salary isn't that bad. I am fine with trading away LIn if we can pick up 2nds and not gain 2020 salary. You can use those to either move up, sell for cash, or move out and into a different draft.

[steady]

I read somewhere - not sure if reliable - that Schlenk wants pick in another draft year to do trade

Already enough picks in 2019 draft

That is correct. Said he has enough 2019 picks, prefer picks in 2020 and beyond.

We are dealing from a hand of strength. There is no reason for us to move players unless the return helps us. We are not making the playoffs no matter what we do and have proven we will win a few games with or without Baze. Lin helps out a lot with keeping Trae grounded so moving him is not a priority in my mind.

[Jamaaliver]

Travis gets an 'A' in my book for this.

Remember when someone killed him for the Trae Young trade! LOl!

[Deester11]

I gave Trav an 'A'. I stated long ago that Bud the coach...I hated to see him go. Bud the GM was terrible. Short-sighted and Schlenk inherited a mess. I gave him an A for sticking to a plan and not being swayed. It is only an A because his trades have been..Meh. All in all..love what he's doing.

Can't wait until Schlenk's 2nd pick is also better than precious Luka in a few years (shout out graymule).

(man, Schlenk really knows how to pick em at 19)
