You give them Howard and Baze, maybe they re-sign Teague and still stay in the playoff picture. We don't know because we didn't even try. All reports from Indiana was that they wanted to rebuild and get younger players or draft picks in return for PG. Even though the package they received from OKC wasn't much, I doubt they would've wanted a bad contract in Baze and an aging, past his prime Dwight.

RWF Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) Could have traded Horford before his contract expired. Could have traded Sap before his contract expired. Some of us saw a rebuild needed for years. We could have had a leg up on it (trades for draft picks, young players), but now it's going to start at the very bottom.

So to the people who don't think this is a tank job, who are you looking at to make the team competitive and 'fun'? I became a pretty big Jon Simmons fan, I'd love to see him dunking on people for the Hawks. I've gotta admit though, he does kinda profile a lot like the guy who will be a pretty big FA bust (Solomon Hill, Kent Bazemore, etc). I think JoVal is a monster for Toronto who isn't used enough, so I wouldn't mind if they tried to make a move to add him via trade since there is a huge void at the C spot. Probably want a more mobile guy at the 5 though. Because Turner can play both positions. Myles' offensive game is more midrange, than post. He took almost 400 jumpers from 16+ feet. Dwight anchoring the paint, with Myles roaming as an extra defender, is actually kind of scary. Plus, instead of Jefferson, you can have Myles playing center with the 2nd unit. With Indiana also needing another wing, they very well may have taken a deal involving Howard and Baze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll just have to disagree, to me it makes very little sense to move your centerpiece to accommodate for a stopgap player. They've been adding young PFs to try alongside Myles too.

But I doubt that's true. Indiana messed around and got stuck. There's nothing to do in Indianapolis on a cold winter night, so the Pacers has been a top entertainment alternative. As fans say, they are NOT a "tanking fanbase". They will prefer "treadmill" over "tank". They were just forced to tank when they got caught with their pants down.

Would Turner + Young a better frontcourt duo over Howard + Turner? No, they're trying to move Thad Young actually. They drafted TJ Leaf and acquired Domantas Sabonis from OKC in hopes that one of them is their PF of the future. And being better immediately isn't in their best interest. Otherwise they would've just kept Paul George who is better than Dwight or those PFs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dejay Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 So in return for losing OUR ENTIRE STARTING FRONTCOURT from a 60-win team, the Hawks got nothing, nada, bumpkis, zero, zilch, zip, not a GD thing. And this is progress? Okay... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
