Bench is chit still


Their bench is fine

Rondo/Cook
KCP/Carsuo
Kuzma
Dudley
Dwight

Good mix. Add Iggy to that bench and I'd say it's one of the best.

Nah... Unless Rondo can shoot or defend, LeBron will play point and you will see Cook or the guy from Phoenix (Daniels) taking a lot of minutes from Rondo as spot up shooters. Bron and AD already pass well enough.

Rondo is going to raise hell in that locker room if he doesn’t get his playing time. He’s also going to complain to AD about it but I guess he could just be cut

GS just doesn't have the size to deal with LA at all.

That GSW GM was crying for a reason. This team is sad yo watch. Now that West ain't around let's see what he's going to do.

They lost one of their other talent evaluators in Travis Schlenk to the Hawks. West reportedly talked Travis into staying in the front office vs pursuing coaching. Pretty good advice if you ask me.

THey we’re hard capped with dlo Sign and Trade

I wonder if DLO is worth more than Iggy, Cook, 8-9M player and a 1st

Almost feel nostalgic for the days when GB said LeBron was too old to play games anymore, Linda Rambis was destroying the Lakers, and Silver needed to take over management of the team.

Never change, GB. Never change.

I would've left too. You guys have some good young talent. Won't be surprised if a trade for C will happen during trade deadline. Adams, Gasol, Ibaka etc C will be available and you guys have what it takes to make it happen. Crabbe contract that you guys got from us along with pick can go a long way imo. Shooters always got value around the league.
When others put you guys in a bottom 6 worst team I had a good laugh. YOUR division is the worst around the league and W can come much easier, also EC from 6-8 is wide open imo. Good luck.

The Warriors are a pretty depleted team so this game shouldn’t be surprising. All of their centers are hurt and Curry’s not playing. Don’t know why the league decided to do this but this Warriors team needs everyone playing.

Lakers preseason has been a mix they are abusing the Warriors but had a tough time with the Nets

McGee makes it look like he's playing on a mini-hoop.

Summer League and Pre Season have been horrible for the Hawks. The injuries started with Cam, Len, then Huerter and still have not ended. I can see why some think we are that bad; but I think they are off by a good margin. 8- 10 seed if everyone gets back healthy.

The contracts, Parsons 25.1 Million, Turner 18.6 Million, Crabbe 18.5 Million, Len 4.1 Million, all come off the books in 2020. The Hawks could help two teams start their rebuild and cost cutting if they wanted to.

LeBron makes passes that shouldn't be possible.
