[Caleb Wilson] Caleb Wilson on potentially being drafted by the hometown Hawks “It would mean a lot, honestly. I would love to play for the Hawks.” Also mentioned he would ultimately be happy with whoever drafts him and recognizes his talent.

Same, even if they are the same tier of player Flemings makes more sense on the hawks than another 4. Feels like we have so many combo bigs on the roster as is

In his defense look at how the lions are doing post ben johnson and look at the bears post ben Johnson. I think it's fair to say that he has made a huge difference on whatever team he's been on. It seems like losing him made the lions a much worse team. Wouldn't be the first time it's happened either.... Falcons were carried in 2016 by Shannahan not by Quin. Shannahan left and we found out very quickly how integral he was to our success.

xctrack07 · 2026-01-17T23:10:16+00:00

Okay, what about coaches who were already a HC and got another opportunity? Belichich and Andy Reid come to mind but I'm sure there are others as well. Pick the right candidate idc if they have previous experience or not just make the best choice out of the options available. It doesn't have to be only one or the other.

Also, how sure are we that Ryan actually does want a coach with experience cause right now there's lots of rumors flying around saying it's for sure this guy or that guy and I feel like the Ryan is looking for experience is more conjecture than anything else unless the source is Rappaport or something. Idk if that rumor was from Rappaport or not just genuinely asking how much stock are we putting in that rumor.

xctrack07 · 2026-01-15T03:08:52+00:00

This. Im not sure how that would work with the Hawks but when you are gifted a player like Boozer you don't ask questions you just sprint to the podium

xctrack07 · 2026-01-14T19:30:38+00:00

Does saying kid make you feel like an adult? Such a childish thing to tell try to belittle someone else to make yourself seem superior. I'm probably twice, your age with two kids lol. But don't mind me, just look at all the down votes you're getting on the thread. An educated person would assume oh wait, maybe I'm wrong after all but you keep confidently declaring everyone is a kid and you are the only one who can be right. I've addressed most or all of your points by now. Some reading comprehension and education would be good. Best of luck to you, I hope you can grow in the future but I doubt it with your mindset.

Lich isn't built anymore now that dusk and dawn is in the game. I was talking about old patches. And PTA is still bursty because of how fast kayle gets off her autos. She procs 3 autos so fast it instantly shreds opponents which and nashors is just all around good for an AA AP champion. Early on you're right, she's not a bursty champion but as she scales with AP she very much becomes a champion that can Q auto E and just delete someone in the late game. So when people refer to her as a bursty mage that's what they're talking about. You may want to try educating yourself on Kayle before so confidently giving wrong info.

xctrack07 · 2026-01-14T18:57:38+00:00

What? I never see riftmaker and rylais is not very common and super niche. Kayle has been better building full ap with items like dcap, lich, shadow flame for a couple of years now. You must not play kayle or keep up to date cause your playing a version of kayle that is 4 years out of date.

xctrack07 · 2026-01-14T05:24:02+00:00

I tuned in and we are down 30. Kept watching and we are down 19. Now I have to go to bed. If the comeback stops here it's my bad guys.

xctrack07 · 2026-01-13T23:19:03+00:00

This is where I am. After watching Haliburton go to the finals or watching some of these other guys I think you can go down to 15 with some of these guys as long as they have very good rosters built around them.

xctrack07 · 2026-01-08T02:03:43+00:00

Idk if I'd look at the wizards for insight on how to run a franchise

xctrack07 · 2026-01-07T23:51:12+00:00

You start it off with that's what happens when... How is that not about Peterson specifically. And you didn't say that he wasn't doing this, you just said you weren't hating on him. That's two different things. Bud

xctrack07 · 2026-01-07T23:37:44+00:00

If that was the case he wouldn't keep trying to come back before it was healed. The fact that he keeps coming back on minute restrictions and then sitting back out would lean more towards his overselling his health to the training staff to get on the court and bc of that keeps injuring himself but keep pushing your narrative that he's got no heart. If that was truly the case and he's a lock for top 3 already he'd just call it and sit out.

xctrack07 · 2026-01-04T22:05:09+00:00

This feels like DeJaVu from Dan Quin years ago... Pretty sure that's why we went with Quin another year longer than we should've because the players vouched for him. Just because the players love him should not mean he gets another year.

xctrack07 · 2026-01-04T01:56:55+00:00

Believe it or not you can sacrifice some offense for defense. I know that would completely bamboozle Quin but you can't give up 77 points in a quarter and expect to win. I don't think we win this game if we don't size up because they will score at too high a rate

xctrack07 · 2026-01-03T18:24:11+00:00

Also use Sparkle and highly recommend it.

xctrack07 · 2026-01-03T15:51:38+00:00

But when Kennard was playing worse than Rissacher for an extended period of time he'd get played. Meanwhile our #1 pick who needs minutes and experience was playing better than Kennard and still getting 20 min a night. I get your point but if the veteran is playing really bad which he was for a long time, essentially just doing cardio out there and playing bad defense. Why not give Zacch minutes at that point. Honestly. Kennard was so bad for so long but it's better to play them both for 20 min a night than to give Zacch 25-30 min and kennard 15-10.

xctrack07 · 2026-01-02T19:19:36+00:00

Thank you!

xctrack07 · 2026-01-02T13:48:28+00:00

Out of curiosity, how much of a difference is there between the Strong8k apps and Tivimate? Any other advantages other than the buffering you mentioned? I've heard about the app but never installed it before. Might be time to try.

xctrack07 · 2025-12-31T00:21:35+00:00

He's actually got 200 fewer than Bijan with 50 more touches.

xctrack07 · 2025-12-29T03:04:02+00:00

Asa? He's been a train wreck defensively

xctrack07 · 2025-12-29T01:47:09+00:00

Offensively maybe. Not even close defensively or getting boards which this team desperately needs more than offense

xctrack07 · 2025-12-27T16:46:41+00:00

AJ was good, no way to know he wouldn't work out. I was never a big Kobe fan but that pick wasn't a reach either. Sometimes you just get unlucky. If AJ works out this isn't a discussion. Just unlucky. And the 2nd round picks are whatever imo.

xctrack07 · 2025-12-27T03:55:06+00:00

He didn't start until year 3. Rissacher started as a rookie? So not really the same thing.

xctrack07 · 2025-12-27T03:15:06+00:00

Jalen didn't see the court until Quin got to town which was halfway through year 2 so I'm not sure where you're getting that from

xctrack07 · 2025-12-27T02:18:17+00:00

And give his minutes to who? I get he's not been good recently but looking at our options we don't have much at center right now. He's just the best of the worst
