"DND - Old" is one of my favorite NBA things ever.

The Hawks started:
Trae, Bembry, Parker, Hunter, and Len. Hard to believe but they are staying in the game; at least for the 1st half.
Trae with 11, 4, 4 and 1 TO, Parker with 13 and 2, Hunter with 9 and 1. Len and Bembry doing ok on the glass with 7 and 5 boards respectively. Most casual Hawks fans as soon as they saw the lineup and injury report probably switched over to football.

As a huge Wiggins fans since his high school days, it's so depressing watching him play.

Can't believe I have to watch a full season of Alex **** Len starting at center

James Wiseman as the future 5 for ATL?

I just don't understand Damian Jones. Does he even know how to jump for a rebound? Dude looks like hes stuck in cement when going up for a board.

They'll eventually slide Collins over and start all the young guys. Maybe give up 120 a night but they'll try it out.

Covington +2 in a game his team is down 14 just like old times...

Looks like the Hawks have mailed it in. Trae and Hunter done for the night. Kind of a shame, they were both doing pretty well on both ends of the floor. Considering what the Hawks are paying Jabari, he looks like a steal. Of course he will probably opt out next year to get paid. I am ready for the season to start; so guys who should be getting 30 or more minutes a night, start getting them.

He is the worse contract in the league. Wall and Paul at least have talent this bum is just trash

Trae, Huerter, Reddish, Hunter, Collins might be decent on the perimeter D; but I cannot see Pierce doing that against the Embiid's and Vucevic's in the East.

I’m surprised the Hawks didn’t throw a offer at Zubac. He fits being reasonable mobility, good finisher, and young, defender, strong rim protection and upside.

How does Wiggins get 18 shots up in 28 minutes in a preseason game? Playing with him must be awful

Unless Pierce goes all out tank, I doubt the Hawks have a shot at Wiseman. Maybe someone like Stewart, Dante, Carey Jr. or Bassey. I honestly think if this team hits some sort of stride, Schlenk will spend some of that cap money on a center. Either via trade or free agency.

He is one of those GMs who believes a good center can be had much easier than a good wing/perimeter player; and it shows in how he has drafted.

Might be a preseason thing because Luka isn´t tired but it feels like his onball defense is a lot better compared to last season.

Dang Porzingis

How many times will the phrase "it's only preseason" be used in this thread on average?
