All these one year deals are just rentals though. Re-appraise next season and go from there. As I said in a previous post, I will be watching the Hawks on league pass to see how our young team develops with Dennis leading the way. Dennis our best starting Vet this year, who would have ever thought that one? We still have one spot left for a PG. Might be the best spot up 3pt shooter in the league. This team may lead the league in 3pt shot attempts Edited August 4, 2017 by GameTime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone else is filler to me right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Diesel Posted August 4, 2017 Premium Member Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE... Maybe this is Bud and Company trying to find Lightning in a Bottle. Is Babbit not much different than Kyle Korver when we picked him up? Supposedly one-dimensional, but very good at shooting. Maybe this is the necessary piece to Bud's plan. Maybe Bud is saying with Babbit, Dennis, and Prince, I can take us back to 60 wins... in the next 2 seasons like I did with Korver, Sap, and DMC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are missing two ready made all stars in Sap and Horford but it is still an entertaining post. Edited August 4, 2017 by Buzzard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member sturt Posted August 4, 2017 Premium Member Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 He's more like a slightly huskier version of Mike Dunleavy, I think. He's used to playing more PF than Dunleavy, but they have similar frames. That was his Heat profile, and here are the two previous years with the Pels... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBac Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 He shoots well from 3. Maybe they can dupe somebody to trading for him at the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korver had averaged as many as 14 points per game over the course of a season prior to coming to Atlanta. He also had numerous seasons playing starter minutes - 30+ minutes a night. Babbit, on the other hand, has a career high of 7 pts per game and has never averaged as many as 20 minutes a night. So yes, no different . . .

Maybe we can dupe Bron into trading us Kyrie for Schröder and 9 million in 3pt shot filler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameTime Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Is Babbitt that much worse than Ryan Anderson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither are different from the other. Babbitt may be better than Anderson but it really does not matter; neither are important pieces. One could argue, we should have signed Anderson if he would have helped us lose a few more games vs Babbitt maybe helping us win a few more games. Neither will get us to the playoffs or is part of our rebuilding future is the point though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 I think this team will be bad but if you look at this board it's like they traded Hakeem Olajuwon for chips and let Tim Duncan walk for nothing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sturt Posted August 4, 2017 Premium Member Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 To @DBac's point, remember we cashed in Korver for a good rebuild asset. Babbitt's younger and cheaper.... and his stats may look even a little better b/c of the potential additional minutes on a non-contending team. I'm coming around to thinking this could be a smart move after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
