We could have fielded a competitive team to make an 8 seed if we WANTED TO. Sign one of those guys mentioned above with Illyasova as the back up, bring THjr back which moves Baze to the bench, find a trade for Plumlee using an asset(since we weren'tbottoming put), use that capspace to sign another FA like Kelly Olynyk, dump DelaneySux, sign Patty Mills to back up Dennis. Bring back Thabo. It's not like it was impossible to put together a team to make the playoffs in a weak east sans Sap. That just was not the route wr were headed, but not impossible.

We replaced Howard with Dedmon. Replacing Milsap would be harder, Zach Randolph, Glassinari, Taj Gibson are the 3 PFs I can think of off hand that were available that would have been cheaper than Sap (not advocating, just stating).

Wow, this dude.

True regarding year 3 and 4, but teams are hoarding capspace for 2019. So it makes it doubly hard to move him.

Thing is, Houston has been trying to move him since they gave him that contract. There are a ton of teams that can use a 3 point shooting stretch 4, just not at $20 mil and one dimensional. In any trade, I think we'd just be taking back bad salary but probably in two smaller deals and for longer than the 2 years remaining.

I talked about his" underratedness" in my write up ....@lethalweapon3 happened. Serves me right though - for not paying attention LOLOLOL. You got it all.

You didn't.

To move this along until lw3 releases my 'Deletos; - I picked Gary Harris, @TheNorthCydeRises rises is up or is it @pimp

@lethalweapon3 Please release my pick.

My hope for Prince - maintain efficiency with increased usage. I like his scoring but what impressed me most was his ability to make plays for himself and others.

I hope turner doesn't wanna trade with you.

Ha...oh yes indeedy.

Think about this....I know we call Baze and Ded vets but they've only been in the league 6 and 5 years respectively. Compare that to Carter's 20 YEARS in the league - that's amazing.

And Dedmon.

Then why bring in Lin and Carter if veteran leadership presence not required. I understand that Baze makes a lot of money but an Anderson trade does nothing to relieve our cap burden in a Baze trade. I get that we acquire a late 1st - it just depends on which 1st it is. Like I said previously, I'd take the Hartenstein kid and a future 1st.

Then don't wear the wrong color shirt. When it comes to discussing the Hawks I try not to take it too seriously.

Exactly, plus the whole DF/Ownership debacle.- how soon we forget.

Ha......Since I've been on this forum people have been going at it. Even during the 60 win season, has nothing to do with tanking.

I think I jumped the gun...I saw a PM from Turnerms and assumed it was my turn...ooops

I like it.

I don't like that Houston deal either.

Still not a good deal.
