Woj starting to warm up.
Woj starting to warm up
Credit to the Hawks for trying to blow their team up, tbh..most teams in the NBA don't realize when their roster is fool's gold and try to compete to no avail for years, wasting years and potential jobs in the front office..
Atlanta is severely lacking in top-tier and role player talent, across the board, there's no point in moving forward with this core, especially if other teams are foolish enough to give up assets for a player like Jeff Teague
The Hawks looks like they are desperate to move Horford....Bud has been terrible at his GM job allowing that impression to linger, if true..seems like teams are trying to low-ball them..
I have a feeling a bunch of trades will go down. Wonder if tspense can chime in to break the scoop in this thread first tbh
Typical moronic franchise
Drafted 2 SGs back-to-back with lottery picks and instead of developing them, they prefer to give minutes to James Anderson
A ton of talk here about the Raptors getting a PF, mostly talk about Thaddeus Young and Markieff Morris..some of these guys have legit, proven sources, too..
Casey won't use either of them properly, but still an upgrade over Scola/Patterson..
Hawks: Green, Diaw +1st
Spurs: Horford, Sefolosha
This will happen last minute of Hawks can't make right move for Horford..
The only reason I would see the Spurs trading for Horford is if the prevailing thought amongst PATFO is that Duncan can no longer go 25 min per the rest of the season. To me it would have to be something major like that for the team to make a drastic change after all the change this past summer. I don't mind trading Diaw, as much as I like the guy, because he has played sub-par as of late and his contract is set up to be very conducive to trades. I also don't mind trading Green because under the new cap he is our most valuable asset (other than Kawhi) and if he can bring back a healthy return it is worth considering.
Now if the trade were Spurs receive: Horford, Korver, Sefolosha
Hawks receive: Diaw, Green, any of the following picks, overseas prospects, Anderson/Boban.
I could get behind this. From an Atlanta perspective they would be saving around 4 million this year. 9 in the summer after they cut Boris. It would also depend on how much Bud values Green and believes he can be a valuable part of their rebuild and is he worth more than Atlanta can get elsewhere. Spurs get Horford in his prime paired with a couple of veteran wings to make a finals push this year and next.
Projected: -2 wins
Meh, if this rumor is even legit, it's probably just out there to show teams that the Hawks are having serious discussions elsewhere after teams like Boston lowballed them..
Once teams start getting serious, there are several teams that could offer more enticing offers for Horford than a role player in his physical prime(which doesn't make sense for Atlanta, since they are nowhere near contending), a declining Diaw and a ty draft pick, even considering any cap savings they would make..

I have no idea how much Howard has left, tbh, despite watching plenty of Rockets ball, this season..True..they would be the anti-thesis of Bulls
It's difficult to gauge how much of his inconsistency and declining defense is due to effort/team dysfunction vs. deterioration as a player..
You and Harlem- what's up with the double periods at the end of every thought?True..they would be the anti-thesis of Bulls
Green and Diaw for Shumpert?Iman Shumpert is available in a trade, according to ESPN's Marc Stein.
He hasn't played well these days and made just 31.3 percent from the field in February. If he is traded and they Cavs don't get someone back, his minutes would likely go to a combination of J.R. Smith, Matt Dellavedova and maybe even Mo Williams. Shumpert can remain on the wire in almost all leagues.
I think Riley and the Heat are going to make the biggest splash..you heard him talking about trying "to win now" in the Spurs-Miami game interview ("win now"= ECF realistically
Green and Diaw for Shumpert?
In the context of the trade deadline, Pop's recent comments are pretty intriguing. The Spurs have never knowingly played to be runner up. So, if we accept Pop's comments at face value, how far would the Spurs go to solve the "unsolvable" - especially if Tim's knee is worse than publicly acknowledged? If Tim's knee severely hampers him, are we closer to contender or fool's gold? While the Spurs are usually not very active before the deadline, could this year be different?Credit to the Hawks for trying to blow their team up, tbh..most teams in the NBA don't realize when their roster is fool's gold and try to compete to no avail for years, wasting years and potential jobs in the front office..

Why would ORL want to trade Dipo for a player with worse upside in Teague when they already have Peyton?
Seems like the Spurs move when they "made TP available" to prop up Hills value then traded Hill. Maybe Peyton is the real guy they want to move.
Offensively. Defensively, points in the paint and defensive rebound percentage, have been issues.
With Aldridge as a full time center, nothing would change. Sure, it could work if he's paired with Ibaka or one of the few who have a similar game, but that's a pipe dream.
Aldridge clearly didn't put in much work, relatively speaking, last summer. It was obvious not only in his figure, but also his game.
I expect him to re-dedicate himself this summer, both physically and skill wise and to return to the caliber of three-point shooter he was last season.
Even if he doesn't, he's still a superior shooter to Duncan, with similar mobility to Splitter and overall, they more than made that pairing work the previous four seasons.
I suspect they never intend to make Aldridge the starting center. He'll obviously play a good amount of it, but the designation is important to him and as such, they probably have an understanding with him. They also prefer to start traditionally, not only in stature, but in game and his is still more power forward than center.
Heading his way east again, going in a cross-country trip from West to East, impregnatng women along the way. It's all full circle, who knows which team he'll retire at.
parker for horford and schroder:

I wouldn't change anything about our team except maybe moving McCallum for a back-up guard with some play making ability(because of Manu's nuts). Last time I checked Greivis Vasquez wasn't playing well for the Bucks. Maybe a change of scenery could do him so good.
