I think we just end up keeping KP. It isn't great obviously, but we need a good backup center who can space the floor and doesn't eat up bad money on our books. Despite the health concerns, I don't think there is another candidate that fits the bill better.
Dante & KP just need to get healthy. Hopefully that is soon.
the first of hopefully many trade pods before the Feb deadline!!!!!
Currently there are only 2 teams in the East playing well(record wise)….for me that equalls………..GO for it!!!! Onsi had a great off-season and I'm sure he will not sit on his thumbs by the Feb deadline! We have tons of ammo…to get it done!!! We absolutely must be a top 6 seed…worst case scenario!
Keep KP let Trae walk if he doesn’t accept player option and have 90 mill cap space with a top 5 pick
Hey Brad…I'm hoping you change your mind a little about the Giannis situation. The truth is…the Hawks have the leverage in a Giannis deal if the Bucks WANT to go down the TANK road! We are the ONLY path for the Bucks if they choose to go that way! I'm also still VERY much in the camp that the PELS are going to finish with a better regular season than a number of teams in or so to be in TANK mode! Which will realistically, from a percentage standpoint, mean that our chances of picking in the top 4(which means winning a lottery ball) will be a lot less likely than picking in that 7-10 post lottery result! He is the BEST player in the EAST. This year is a rare opportunity to get to the FINALS. Just saying…that the WIZ/NETS/KINGS/JAZZ(who don't want to lose that top 8 protected pick)HORNETS and a group of teams like the Mavs/Pacers/Bulls who may become sellers by the deadline wanting to get into the Tank lottery mix as well! Giannis, if he were to agree to a contract extension especially…would be very hard to pass on because he's EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED!
Hey Brad..To hear you say the Hawks have a CHANCE to make the FINALS is exciting! Hoping ONSI feels that way!!!! I'm SURE he does! Come on Brad….to hear you say that….then how can you NOT want to go for it with a consequential trade by the Feb deadline? That's why I believe our aggressive GM after watching his team with Trae back..up until the Feb deadline…will ABSOLUTELY go and get the player or players they NEED! GO HAWKS…This really is the year of the GETTABLE EAST!!!!!!!!!
The big man trade him. DA MAN trey sign him and let's go win
We both know…that MEGA trades usually involve more than 2 teams…When it comes to Porz and possibly Trae(if thats the route that ONSI chooses) will probably involve a 3rd or even 4th team!!!!!
Giannis/Markannen/J.Jackson/…AD….for now…my 4 targets! and some PG's possibly… if Trae is moved!
If any of these trades has some truth to it, then I'm out on the Hawks. They are only repeating what they have always done.
We trade trae im done its clear this team not trying to win
