@rsm524810 How does that strategy make us better? #8 in the draft isn't going to make a huge difference. Distressed assets are distressed for a reason. Unless you are taking a 3-5 year view and think we are doing a complete rebuild. Is JJ waiting around for that?
I don't understand all the people in my Atlanta Hawks feed that are vehemently agaisnt giving up the #8 pick in deal for Jaylen Brown. Draft Picks are a crap shoot. Jaylen was a ECPlayoff MVP and Finals MVP. #TrueToAtlanta#AtlantaHawks#ATLHawks
Don't know how many time I have to post this. I would LOVE to get Ant instead of Jayleen; however, If Ant makes All NBA next season the Wolves can offer him 50 million+ more than any other team can offer him. Ant may want to come home, but basing decisions on the low probability of Ant being available doesn't seem like a good strategy.
I see a lot of ppl saying the Atlanta Hawks should wait for Ant to be available. I would LOVE to get Ant instead of Jayleen; however, If Ant makes All NBA next season the Wolves can offer him 50 million+ more than any other team can offer him. Ant may want to come home, but basing decisions on the low probability of Ant being available doesn't seem like a good way to plan. #TrueToAtlanta #AtlHawks #AtlantaHawks
Argh. The Ant thing. I would LOVE to get Ant instead of Jayleen; however, If Ant makes All NBA next season the Wolves can offer him 50 million+ more than any other team can offer him. Ant may want to come home, but basing decisions on the low probability of Ant being available doesn't seem like a good way to plan. Also, is there anyone that is projected to be available at the 8 spot who is projected to be on the level of Jaylen who is an EC Playoff MVP and a Finals MVP?
@DefiantNX75633@ToneGully You are correct. Nothing is guaranteed. JB will be 30 when the season starts and doesn't miss many games. Both Fox and Lillard are liabilities on defense that have to be hidden. JB doesn't have that issue.
I just want to experience the feeling of watching my Atlanta Hawks win a close out game in the finals ONE time in my life. Although I’m not sure what blood pressure would be if it was a game like tonight. Also based on being the only team to win 2 playoff games against the Knicks The Hawks are the 2nd best team in the NBA. #TrueToAtlanta #atlhawks
@NSCHawks I don't understand the fixation on the #8 pick. These are the #8 picks for the last 5 years. Also, Jaylen will only be 30 when the season starts and he doesn't miss games.
I wouldn’t give up the kitchen sink to trade for Jaylen Brown.
But to act like this dude wasn’t a top scoring option on a top 2 seed in the East for 80% of the season. 4X AS, 2X All NBA & a FMVP whos mostly been a really good playoff performer in his career is hilarious
@ZachLangleyNBA That means you are betting on Jalen playing in the playoffs like he did during the regular season and being much better in defense. It could happen, but my view is that having JB on the team will make JJ better in the playoffs.
