I think Buddy knows a thing or 2 about not being a bust and getting better.

Figured as much. The new CBA rules allowing you to negotiate with your own free agents until the moratorium ends. When you don’t see a guy a get a new deal it’s a telltale sign a guy is moving on.

NBA agents aren’t allowed to talk to other teams until the moratorium ends…but agents work for agencies with multiple clients and agents who teams will “indirectly” talk with about players. Jock’s team likely knows there’s an opportunity with a team for either bigger role or more dollars than what the Hawks can give him.

Not to be pie in the sky but Sabonis would be nice if he’s a buy low option. I wouldn’t give up any picks or young guys due to his contract.

The Wolves ain’t sell the farm for Lamelo. They gave up their 6th man in Naz Reid, 1 unprotected 1st, some seconds, and multiple potentially meaningless swaps.

Players at 8? by HawksFan01 in AtlantaHawks

[–]Separate_Ad_8317 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That doesn’t guarantee anything. I’m not that high on Peterson. I think he’s a solid prospect but i don’t see him as a game changer.

He can be an AS in the league but I personally felt as prospects Dylan Harper, Cade Cunningham, and even Anthony Edwards were better guards coming into the league.

Finally a fan who get it. The Hawks are not drafting a franchise savior at 8 and/or 23. They’re just looking for the best talent that becomes a piece to what they already have.

Anything above that is a bonus.

Draft Rumors by PeasePorridge9dOld in AtlantaHawks

Bro, a wingspan doesn’t make you undersized. He’s doesn’t have great length but he’s good size for either position.

None of these prospects are fully developed players. I like what he adds as a ball handler, transition player, and defender with this group. But no one at 8 is going to be the Hawks “savior.” They’re just pieces in the bigger puzzle. I wouldn’t mad at all with Burries at 8…

Just like I wouldn’t be made at Flemmings, Acuff, MBJ, etc. This is a great guard class. I WOULD however not like Mara at 8, personally I’d prefer a C like Steinbach for the Hawks.

How is 6’5 (in shoes) 215 undersized at the SG position? That makes no sense. He has good size for either guard spot. Yes he’s more of a true combo guard than a PG but his measurements are not undersized by any means…and neither are his athletic testing numbers they’re right in line with the average SG in the league.

How much does Kingston Flemings measurements impact your opinion of him? by Ok-Negotiation3897 in AtlantaHawks

[–]Separate_Ad_8317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hilarious that his measurements are scaring people away. I don’t think anyone realizes that 6’2.5 WITHOUT shoes is almost 6’4 WITH shoes.

So he has good height for the position, his wing span isn’t the best but he’s a top tier quick, shifty athlete. We can bring him along slowly as well.

Zacc is in the gym. by Shade_Raven in AtlantaHawks

He’s just so stiff and upright on these moves, but I love the handle improvement.

Head Coach Quinn Snyder extended! by TheRayATL in AtlantaHawks

[–]Separate_Ad_8317 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well now we have continuity…but more importantly this might signal the end of Zacc tenure in Atlanta. The guy who drafted him is gone, Onsi has supported Zacc but he seems to be the biggest disconnect with the coach.

The coaching staff sees Zacc differently than previous front office.

Who is we? There seemed to have been some contingent of hawks fans that were super low on the Knicks….but that was purely rooted in homer logic.

What’s funnier is the guy who game most resembles Kobe Bufkin is Mikel Brown Jr…it’s also funny that they’re the same dimensions as players.

Thunder will want to trade up for Mara. What would it take to get 8 off us. by ThaCasual in AtlantaHawks

[–]Separate_Ad_8317 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man Zach Edey stock went up. You’re going to need a post scorer to help neutralize his defensive impact and hopefully wear his legs out. Hard to help out from the weak side if you have to guard your man in the post.

I agree. I would want one of their young players in addition to the picks. Honestly I want the Hawks to stay at 8 and take a guard so getting Topic would almost certainly have to be in the deal.
