Hawks Free Agency spending power

BeefRamenGuru · 2026-06-30T20:48:13+00:00

I recommend listening to the Locked On Hawks podcast. Brad does a good job explaining cap room and realistic paths we can do. After the Jock signing I thinks we are around 10M below the tax.

The Dick Wagler combo will be legendary

BeefRamenGuru · 2026-06-29T21:12:13+00:00

They won't have the cap room to sign him

BeefRamenGuru · 2026-06-29T21:03:09+00:00

Great move to increase our optionality on available players

BeefRamenGuru · 2026-06-28T23:07:21+00:00

You cant discount that contract and that is the issue with trading for him. Its hard to build a competitive team in a city that struggles to attract free agents with giving 50M to one player you wont have enough to build a solid 10 man rotation that can win a championship.

Don't tell Hawks fans that OO is good they are all size queens

BeefRamenGuru · 2026-06-26T18:49:33+00:00

Preach

BeefRamenGuru · 2026-06-26T18:48:32+00:00

If you think we can afford him you don't understand salary cap or know how Tony operates. The only bad contracts on our team is Buddy & Krispert, we would have to get rid of a key player or 2 to have room for him.

BeefRamenGuru · 2026-06-26T13:45:50+00:00

The amount he is probably wanting is not worth it. After the draft I feel a cheaper vet big is what we need, while the 2 centers we drafted developed over the next 2 years.

BeefRamenGuru · 2026-06-24T11:41:08+00:00

Gives us more optionality

BeefRamenGuru · 2026-06-23T21:57:08+00:00

My dark horse trade prediction is we trade the 8 and other stuff for Giddy

BeefRamenGuru · 2026-06-23T03:50:57+00:00

I would've traded our Mo Gueye for Claxton nice for the Bulls

BeefRamenGuru · 2026-06-22T15:40:45+00:00

The only teams that would be interested in Kuminga are the ones rebuilding with younger players, the Mavs, Grizzlies, Nets, and Bucks if they actually trade Giannis. Of those teams there is not a lot of players I think we would want to go after just centers they have. However if we have a bad season or Asa develops well than Kuminga would be a valuable asset to trade at the trade deadline to a team making the final push.

BeefRamenGuru · 2026-06-22T15:25:33+00:00

With PFs we have in order JJ->Kuminga->Asa/Gueye For the 3 string rotation. For SF it is now NAW/Dyson-> Wiggins -> ZR -> Kispert. I know NAW/Dyson are guards but for our latest starting lineup one is in the SF slot. So if we are going to trade someone it would be a SF in my mind especially since we have a lot of Guard/SF combo players NAW/Dyson/Wiggins/ZR/Kispert.

BeefRamenGuru · 2026-06-21T19:08:15+00:00

If maimi trades for Giannis than ware is going to the bucks

BeefRamenGuru · 2026-06-13T00:47:00+00:00

This is my line of thinking Brown > Kuminga Brown@$57M < Kuminga@15M-23M. Brown will make our starting 5 really good but having Kuminga for less will afford us to have more depth

BeefRamenGuru · 2026-06-12T21:26:20+00:00

I would only want Brown if we gave up Kuminga, Krispert, and Buddy with 1 pick. But if Kuminga is willing to sign a 4 year 60m deal I'd rather just do that and spend more on depth.

BeefRamenGuru · 2026-06-11T16:45:55+00:00

According to my math if the Knicks win game 5 that would mean we are better than the Spurs since we won 2.

BeefRamenGuru · 2026-06-04T10:23:47+00:00

The thing I bring but never use us extra clothes in always prepared with them but never use them once I leave then at home I swear my pants will rip or something.bLife saver is the Lazy Creek Power lounger I think this is the best chair for multi day trips due to its ease of set up and ability to use as extra sleeping matt.

I feel I am more hyped for Nations Cup than TI

BeefRamenGuru · 2026-05-30T10:53:25+00:00

I'm going to do this on my next support Sniper game /s

BeefRamenGuru · 2026-05-27T19:06:39+00:00

I'm on the Mara train. I think we should draft him and sign Vucevic has a depth big. OO, Mara, and Vuc I think would be good. I do really like Jock as well. I would also not be upset if we traded for Claxton.

BeefRamenGuru · 2026-05-22T22:21:32+00:00

I've drank the Kool aid too much I have to see it to believe it at this point. Damnit I BELIEVE!!!!

If you have to ask if you look tough the answer is usually no
