Dennis is going to get traded before the deadline.  I'm about 95% certain of it.

To whom for what? 

[KB21]

If you don't want the anti tank banter, I suggest you stop with the pro tank banter.

It clearly won't be for anything that actually helps the team.

Where was the banter? Seriously I think I missed it.

I asked to whom for what. Answer it if you're 95% sure.

The tank moves on. Chicago won but Dallas is pesky

Very pleased with the Dorsey sighting! 

Looked really good out there! You can see he needs confidence to play his game. 

Another thing that caught my eye: JC is having real trouble with dribbling the ball. He gets stripped every time he makes a dribble. I think it's mostly because he's overthinking. 

In the end the score doesn't look as bad as the game actually was. We really suck. And we have to embrace it. For the tank.

Yeah, not sure why this isn't happening. Tank or not this team wasn't going to be very good. Why not get them minutes?

If Mike Conley is out for a significant amount of time, I can see Memphis making a deal for a point guard, and Dennis fits their style well.

[noble]

Yeah MY statement wasn't pro or anti. It was stating no matter what, the roster going into this year wasn't going to be a good team, thus why not play the young guys more. 

You may want to re-read that.

That can go to a Trade Ideas thread if it's worth the trouble.

Dennis Schröder for Chandler Parsons and a future 3rd rounder + cash considerations sounds fair

[lethalweapon3]

I know they're in between reno phases... but all these technical malfunctions at the arena are kinda unacceptable.

Moose is useless all of a sudden.  Just start Collins and get it over with.

It's not that sudden.

And....no. Just as I thought. Should we rename Homecourt to KB21's Bitch About Tanking board?

I vote it gets renamed to The Misery that is the Atlanta Hawks 2017-2018 Season, much like Chop Country has their Braves thread.

No there's a tricky twist to it. You actually need to play the one year guys too because you want to turn them into picks down the stretch. Very difficult to find a balance there.

LOL . . what picks?  Who is trading for Luke Babbitt and Malcolm Delaney?  Even a guy like Ilyasova, who is halfway decent when he's playing up to his potential, isn't worth a 2nd round pick.

A move like that, without getting someone equal to his stature in return, would almost make me root for a 2nd team.  He's really the only reason to pay attention to the Hawks these days.   He's much better than he was last season, and even showing some leadership.

Yeah you're right.  Since that amazing start last November, he's been on a downward spiral.

Good for him. I doubt he wants to play for the Hawks another 5-10 years before getting to the playoffs again.

yeah... What happened to freedom of speech? They still can ignore the ones who say that forbidden T word.

 

1-8. 

I think I won the prediction contest. NO WAY this sh!tty team wins more than 11 games this year. Right? Right?

We could trade him for Millsap... Oh, wait!
