We can't shoot for shit, sigh.

Wouldn't mind Len. He can take Moose and Plumlees minutes.

All these 3s, smh. Get in de paint.

Defense sucks and missing shots.

Offence running thru Collins a bit to start. Young...0fer

Older guys? Why?

List if remaining FAs, anyone interest you? 5 Clint Capela (24) C 10 Marcus Smart (24) G14 Isaiah Thomas (29) G 16 Jabari Parker (23) F 17 Jusuf Nurkic (23) C 18 Zach LaVine (23) G 21 Luc Mbah a Moute (31) F 24 Wayne Ellington (30) G 25 Brook Lopez (30) C 28 Rodney Hood (25) F 30 Montrezl Harrell (24) F 33 Greg Monroe (28) 35 Kyle Anderson (24) F 39 Michael Beasley (29) F 40 Dwyane Wade (36) G 43 Amir Johnson (31) C 46 Shabazz Napier (26) G 47 Nemanja Bjelica (30) F 48 Tony Parker (36) G 49 Kyle O'Quinn (28) C 50 David West (37) F 52 Trevor Booker (30) F 53 Jamal Crawford (38) G 55 Zaza Pachulia (34) C 56 Joe Johnson (37) F 57 Yogi Ferrell (25) G 59 Brandan Wright (30) C 61 Vince Carter (41) F 62 Channing Frye (35) F 63 Nick Young (33) G 64 Jahlil Okafor (22) C 65 Alex Len (25) C

Game 2 warm ups.. Hope he has more success tonight.

Just do this.

Tough to be a RFA. Who's left? Capela, Smart, Lavine, Parker

That's seems pricey for a guy that can't stay healthy.

HAWKS FREE AGENT UPDATE: Schlenk on local radio this morning: 1. Still sitting back - won't sign anyone until next week to fill out roster 2. Still want to use capspace to acquire bad salary for picks. Short term salary only. 3. Not actively shopping anyone but taking calls, mostly about our capspace. 4. Talked about youth of our roster,adding 3 picks this year, then hopefully things go as planned next year to add 3 more draft picks, then he'll be ready to 'push his chips in' to go after free agents. That's the plan, but he'll see how it shakes out.

Dude? You wanna fling your poop at people and the season hasn't even started? . You're gonna be on blood pressure medication soon if you don't.....R E L A X!!

You're gonna make yourself sick....Let it gooooo...

They are more worried about their 'brand' and they don't want to be the Karl Malone and Charles Barkley's of their generations - great players that never won a ring. I hate that mind set and the games are diluted now.

I'm not saying he couldn't blow by anybody. Just talking about his ability to absorb contact and play through it. Prince's 1st year, he would drive the ball but couldn't complete the shot if he had contact, this year was much better. Body just needs developing.

I wanted us to keep Doncic, but Trae is a Hawk and I'm rooting for his success. I was hoping Trae would have a John Collins-esque Summer League debut, but it's one game AND it's summer league. Shooting and shot selection was downright atrocious. However, he did some good things otherwise: he got to the freethrow line, when he actually ran the offense he looked good, he moved his feet in man to man defense and didn't look as horrible as I thought he would. ONE GAME!!! Game 2 tonight - let's see how that goes.

I disagree.

Boogey wasn't taking $5 mil from the Hawks. From GSW sure. I've seen that play out before with Shaq, will to take the vet min from other teams but wanted the $5 mil MLE from Hawks. This exactly,

That's why I don't like the Curry comparisons. You are comparing what you know of Curry now to Trae in his 1st 'NBA' game. What was Curry like in his SL debut?

That's more of a lack of man strength not his handles. He's just not yet able to absorb contact and play through it. That will take time.
