Jungle Jack Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 While hard not to see the glass half empty when talking about any of the Atlanta franchises, considering we are only now entering the second year in a purposeful goal of literally trotting out a team with the implicit goal of losing in the name of draft picks. Collins seems primed to make the second year leap forward and Prince's future seems quite bright so there's that. Baze should he remain is a nice player. Trae would need to play at a ROY and perhaps All Star level to get them into the 7th or 8th seed. That said, I am not sure whether or not a paper cut might cause Collins, Prince, and or Young to be placed on the injured list for the rest of the season.

Final_quest Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 I think we might be fun to watch, but have no chance at making the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As currently composed, they have $20 million in functional cap room (see other threads for an explanation). Assuming they move Dennis and Baze, that's another $33 million. What's my point? That's 50% of the available cap that isn't even on the roster yet. Patience! This isn't going to be close to the final roster until around Sept 1.

Maybe we'll get lucky in the lottery and be able to grab the top SG with our own pick and one of the top centers with Dallas's pick. I fear however the Dallas pick will be early teens. Doubtful. While injuries, and attrition will play some part. Unless Lebron and a cousins goes there and cousins is healthy I don’t see them jumping GSW Hou portland okc utah NO SA Min Denver Clips I think there will be some movement but Dallas has a lot of teams to jump. More than likely the pick should convey. My big riser is Denver I think they can make some noise. Then account that LAL and Phoenix will prolly improve. They are really going to be in dog fights. Spurs may take a dive because of other things but I’ve learned to never truly count them out. My hope is Dallas doesn’t respect the tank athon of last year.

Schlenk is going to want more good picks next year and so this team will be really bad due to that and the team being so young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far in his tenure, Schlenk has drafted all offensive type players yet he's hired a defensive minded coach. Mmmmmmm. Lloyd has his work cut out for him, he's now behind the 8 ball. One thing he said was he wanted a physicality to his defense...Ok. We went about as hard away from that as possible this year. Got some good shooting and skill, though. Maybe next year's draft.

Moving Dennis and Baze may require taking on more money in the near term which could actually eat into that $20M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
