No you are correct I am anti-tank but i dont have a choice so I have to roll with it. We dont have a super star player on this roster, but Zion might be. We drafted David Thompson Jr once and he opted for the ABA, Julius Erving was a Hawk and went to the ABA. We traded Paul Gasol on draft day. Thompson and Dr J were superstars. Nique is the only Hawk Superstar outside of Petit and we traded him. The last trade needs some time to evaluate.

I'm not convinced that Zion is that kind of player either. Sure he is a great athlete but that might be it. We'll see

New here, huge Hawks fan. I'm interested in what you all think about going after Vucevic and Rozier this offseason as our FA signings. I'd love to make a run at Klay, but I doubt he's leaving the west coast for the east coast. I hear he's pretty tied to CA. If we could get Rozier at $10m/yr and Vucevic at $30m/yr, would that be worth pursuing? Rozier is a very good 6th man and if he and Bembry continue to develop their 3-pt shots then those two guards could be a real 2-way headache to all the other 2nd string back courts. Always attacking. Vucevic gives us a skilled big man who can spread the floor, although he is a little bit of a liability on defense.

Take it easy on me, new to posting on this thing.

I pulled these salaries off hoopshype, so not completely sure how accurate they are. Had to add Len's in for next year and estimated the FRP salaries. This looks like a pretty formidable eastern conference squad assuming Trae, Huerter and Spellman continue to progress (this also assumes we don't move Baze or Prince at the trade deadline):

TOTALS $108,235,574
Nikola Vucevic $30,000,000
Kent Bazemore $19,269,663
Miles Plumlee $12,400,000
Terry Rozier $10,000,000
Trae Young $6,281,280
2019 1st RP $5,000,000
Alex Len $4,350,000
2019 1st RP $4,000,000

Taurean Prince $3,481,985
John Collins $2,686,560

30 million per year to a guy that hasn't made an all star game? Is his defense good enough? How far would he take the Hawks? How much would you pay Klay Thompson?

Neither of those guys move the needle much for me tbh. They're both ok but I'd rather use the space to acquire more picks or go after superstars

Welcome aboard! And I wanted to trade for Vooch last year as a temp stopgap, but I don’t think he’s a good fit going forward.

Welcome, welcome. The more, the merrier.
$30 mil for Vooch is cap suicide during a rebuilding effort.
1. Hawks are still rebuilding
2. He isn't worth $30 mil.
3. His defense is not good enough to play next to Cpllins long term.

Rozier - meh. He's gonna want a boatload and he's looking to start. Also....we hate the Seltics here so I don't want none of their middling overrated players - see Crowder and Bradley since they left Brad.

Oh and like Fuzzy said....don't listen to kg01 and Spud..

No worries, thanks for the feedback! I think the east is pretty weak right now so if we think our young players are good enough then we could strike next year.

In response to how much I’d give Klay, the max. I think he’s the real glue piece that keeps that team rolling. Always guards the other team’s best wing back court scorer and spreads the floor for everyone else to do work.

I can’t think of too many free agent centers I’d rather sign for our team than Dedmon, but Vucevic is really good offensively. Although, I do agree his defense is suspect. Obviously, I’m on the Zion bus right now, but we will win too many games to be in that game. Honestly, if we have a 5 and 7 I’d see if whoever lands #1 would trade for both our picks. I’d rather have a superstar than two potentially good players.

Klay is not a max player

You might be right, but here’s my reasoning on how it could be good for both the Hawks and Klay.

He’s only eligible for 30%, but in two years he’d be eligible for 35%. If he signed for two years he’d get a chance to showcase himself to prove he’s a star worth a long term max at 35%.

If we decide he’s not for us, just about any contender in the next two years would trade us assets for his services.

I realize that puts $50m in two wings on our roster, but I’m really hoping we find a way this year to trade Baze (and Prince). Baze is obviously way overpaid and Prince is just isoJoe with half the skills.

So of all the many, many predictions made in this thread -- it appears these two were the most spot on:
