Hawks are Dangerous…size and length….plus a MOTIVATED Trae Young in a Contract Year! Outstanding depth…..Top 8…Trae/Dyson/JalenJohnson/Zacch Risachier/Okongwu/Porzingus/Nikeal Walker Alexander and Luke Kennard! Plus keep in mind…they have that GOLDEN Ticket (Unprotected Pels pick or a swap with the Bucks)that can be used at the trade deadline..to legitimately get the FREAK if he wants out! This has to be the Year for the CAVS…because of $$$$ 2nd Apron hell! Both DG(right now) and DM have upcoming ALBATROSS like extensions) 2 small ball dominant guards???? needs to be answered this year!
Magic 2nd unit …not that good! Plus Suggs is NEVER healthy and W.Carter is a VERY MEDIOCRE starting Center!
Hawks have the assets to make a blockbuster….Young talented players/ Team friendly contracts and PICKS!!!!!!!!
Hey Danny….you really don't have the Hawks in the Magic's tier?????????
yes they have size we dont , can easily beat the cavs
Yes I think the Magic can beat the Cavs in a seven game series and I'm a lifelong Cavs fan. The biggest pick up they had was Tyus Jones, not Desmond Bane. He's a real facilitating point guard who can put all of those long athletic players they have in the right spots and give them better offense.
If the Cavs want to compete they need to get more wing depth and another backup center.
