Agreed. He's like a bigger version of RHJ.

so unplayable in the playoffs.

He's not unplayable. He just has bad matchups. He's not a star, but he'd absolutely give good minutes against a team like the C's who cant punish him in the post. He'd be only unplayable against Embiid in the East

He's a very decent defender in the PnR with quick feet. He struggles against legit size in the post

Norm for Gorguie Dieng's expiring and the Memphis second is something I would definitely consider

Norm, McCaw, Stanley and cash!

Maybe draft Nwora if he's a legit 6'7 without shoes, 225 lbs with a 6'10.5 wingspan. He can be a stretch 4.

Hughes at #29? PG at #59?

PG Lowry - FVV - #59
SG FVV - TD - Thomas
SF OG - Hughes/Watson
PF Siakam - Nwora/Boucher
C Ibaka - Dieng - Dewan

I like Hughes but his stock his taking a hit because of Syracuse's rep. I would trade 29 down for 2 seconds if it's possible and take Hughes and Reed instead of wasting a whole first on him. I don't think Nwora is anything special. I want athletic, agreesive, wiry strong players to match up against tough physical offenses. I don't think this is the draft where you want to trade up.

The best thing to do would be to tank hard. We played through our window, we should take advantage of the shorten season and re-sign FVV/Ibaka/Powell and dump them mid season for 2022 picks since it's a loaded draft. Thug out next season with a crappy backcourt and nonexistent center position.

A lotto pick next off-season could be a key asset in trading for a secondary superstar next to Siakam. Then also luring in Giannis to form a big three. That is what it will to build a team to beat the Lakers 4x in a series, the LAC 4x in a series.

Imagine getting Doncic level prospect and Giannis in the same off-season along with retaining Siakam and keeping Lowry on a last year pre-retirement championship.

Giannis/Zeke(29)
Siakam/
OG/Cunningham(2021: 1)
Oladipo/Davis
Lowry/Mane(59)

That would completely wreck any ECF team. I am confident with Masai's drafting/scouting ability he could find a star with a high pick even if we don't land the first. We would even have a higher chance of getting a good pick with a tank now that the odds are evened out. We could BS a Siakam/Lowry rest how the Nets did in one season we could complete reload and add a top 5 pick, max contract, and Giannis.

Trade Powell and #59 for Delon and #31?

Delon makes $9 million which saves a bit and his contract goes down to $8.5 million the following summer, instead of Powell going up if re-signed. Sign Poeltl!!!

PG Lowry - Delon - FVV
SG FVV - TD/Thomas
SF OG - McCaw/Watson
PF Siakam - Boucher
C Ibaka - Poeltl

if there was a year to get a lowball for Harrell, sure this is the year. but there is no way Harrell is getting lowballed at $10M per year

he's probably going to get a contract of around $15 per year. dude average 18-7-2, with 1 block per game at 26 years old. People are and should be paying for his output in the next 3-4 years anyways. his defense is okay but most big men have trouble defending the PnR as always. would get killed against much bigger players and is better defending bigs who like to play on the perimeter. his interior defense has much to be desired.

If FVV can play better in the PnR, Harrell is going to beast offensively.

he'll play the RHJ role. but RHJ is a much more willing passer. but don't think Raptors will take him.

Why are you guys all trying to just give away Powell? I don’t mind trading him, but the last couple posts are straight up dumps

ATL tryna trade their #6 pick for a player to make the playoffs. Can Norm and a pick get the #6 pick? I would draft Onyeka, he looks like Bam

Yeah I'm not quite sure what's going on here. He's a good player on a very reasonably priced contract.

I wouldn't be shopping him. Teams would have to blow me away with an offer for him. Otherwise, he's staying a Raptor.

He's going to opt out so do you want to pay him near $20 million for 50/40/85 but not much offense creation nor rebounding?

If the trade is Dieng (who is also a FA) and a 2nd rounder, then ya, ill keep Powell and figure it out later. Dumping him for another soon to be FA who is a worse player by every metric is ridiculous and makes no sense

Norm Powell is not a 20m per year player under any circumstances. Not gonna happen at all anywhere.

A starting SG is the Hawks #1 priority.
Powell fits the bill.
I know they didn't forget about this...



Could we get #6 for Norm + #29 + First Round Pick [2022] ? Maaaaybe.

I'd also be open to Norm for First Round Pick [2022-OKC] + Second Round Pick [2020-MIA] and/or Second Round Pick [2021-MIA]

Young
Powell
Hunter
Collins
Capela
/with solid depth

That's a playoff team in the East IMO. Maybe not this year but next year for sure.
