If he can shoot the 3 like that and rebound, he will at least be able to contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that anyone loved the pick as I recall, but that no other player was seen as an alternative... and as it turned out, we were right about that... one of the crappiest drafts ever.

Wanted to be here SO bad he opted out of the contract we had him signed for this year ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I recall please tell me I'm wrong lol I thought that compared to what was available, he was the best fit for us. We needed a PF/C. Not Roy or Foye who were the ones who were discussed at the time. BK suggested that one of the candidates that we looked at (Roy) had an injury that was chronic (knee) and was too big of a risk.. So what's left?? The pick was the best need pick at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheldon was 6-9 with alligator arms and a senior with no upside.

thecampster Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 For all of you thinking the Crawford deal is an easy waive. Sam Amick: One step at a time on the Jamal Crawford front, as I’m told Hawks won’t do buyout unless he gives a lot back. There’s $17.2 mil left on deal 5 hours ago – viaTwitter sam_amick Buyout, Jamal Crawford, Atlanta Hawks The actual amount left on the deal is 17.2 million. They would be on the hook for all unless they can get him to agree to a substantial reduction. Yes they would most likely stretch it. FYI, Crawford spokespeople are saying he is open to playing in Atlanta next season. Lakers front runner if he is waived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have loved 4 years of a healthy Brandon Roy instead. Honestly, anything but Sheldon would have been fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sturt Posted July 4, 2017 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 So... devil's advocate, @thecampster... If I'm the Clips, why wouldn't I see if LAL would be willing to do the deal for less than ATL is willing? LAL appears to have the space. Only reason I see is if LAL prefers to see him bought out so they can try to get him at a salary discount... though, too, that's not a bad reason. Then again, that probably means if LAL is interested in bringing Crawford over, it likely won't be via trade with the Hawks since they likely could strike a better deal with LAC.... right?

DS5 Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 If there are no 1st rounders for Crawford now, just keep him, at least until the trade deadline. At worst, we'll get a couple of 2nd rounder by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
