Earl overreaction: Flemings is good but has really underwhelmed as a scorer / shot creator across 4 games. Wouldn’t shock me if both okorie and philon end up better players

[itchy @itchytabs]

@QDa5ifth They would’ve just taken him 10 tho since no one else was taking him before that

[itchy @itchytabs]

@jacob_moreno_ Agree insane fit

[itchy @itchytabs]

@SleeperHawks That would be horrendous and so unnecessary

[itchy @itchytabs]

@ElunHatesMe @pluto_dreams13 still only 22 years old

@Grant_Shirley4 Ryan Rollins 2.0 just wait

@Grant_Shirley4 Counterpoint 👁️

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

REPORT: The Hawks have a preferred framework in place to execute a sign and trade that would send Jonathan Kuminga to the Lakers, per @khobi_price.

Hawks would receive:
Jarred Vanderbilt
2032 first-round pick swap

Lakers would receive:
Jonathan Kuminga

@andlankell It just feels like his deficiencies as a free throw shooter put a cap on his offensive potential, at least as a scorer. If he were more confident/competent there I could see him generating a lot more effective drives

[itchy @itchytabs]

@BTRowland @Preet410_ Brad aren’t we just gonna have to use seconds to get off any of these bad contracts anyway given the roster crunch we already have

[itchy @itchytabs]

Problem with hawks S&T is ATL already has 16 rostered players, 1 of which is Hield who is out of the rotation and earning $9mil, so hawks aren’t in a position to fill another roster spot with an unmovable contract even if there are picks attached.

[Coach Rome @Rome_Beast]

looks like the hold up on kuminga signing is money related

kuminga’s camp wants more money and the lakers are still trying to negotiate the contract

hawks are open to a sign and trade to help kuminga get paid

ball seems to be in the lakers court

also kuminga likes cavs/hawks

@jamesjohnson555 @TheGhostOfGeert You just like me fr fr

[itchy @itchytabs]

I never thought abt the fact that Franz has the exact same scoring package as Dyson (just much better at getting to the line and converting)

[Basketball University @UofBasketball]

Franz Wagner, one of the best floater games in the world while self-creating them off the bounce as a 6’10 elite defensive Swiss Army knife.

Special talent.

[itchy @itchytabs]

At what point do you have too many second round picks. We know you’re not drafting half of these.

[Yossi Gozlan @YossiGozlan]

The Hornets can absorb Dorian Finney-Smith into their mid-level exception or LaMelo Ball trade exception.

They still have $28 million in room below the luxury tax line for more salary dumps.

They also now have a whopping 20 second-round picks over the next seven drafts.

[itchy @itchytabs]

The question I still have is where would he have gone if hawks didn’t take him 1. Real possibility it’s like 10 or 11. I rly don’t know if the league was actually high on him. I think it was just Landry/ATL. Would love to get some inside reporting on the decision to go with ZR

[Players Choice @PlayersChoice_]

Zaccharie Risacher should never have been a number one pick in the first place

[itchy @itchytabs]

@ChuckingDarts Makes sense. I also remember some athleticism affecting finishing discourse, but not sure that’s it. Comparing KF to someone like Maxey as a prospect finishing around the rim is just a stark contrast.

[itchy @itchytabs]

let’s go

[itchy @itchytabs]

@Chri21opher Right, maybe euros should be more focused on American developmental process.

[Jaylen @jayl7en]

I wish they didn’t announce trades and everyone just had to wait for game 1 to see who got traded🤣😂
