Popular Post kg01 Posted June 22, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Since I care so much about the collective well-being of my fellow Hawk fans ... well, most of y'all. Some-a y'all I just plain can't stand. You know who you are. Anyways, I've chosen to hop on the Rayford-wagon ('cause what other choice do I have?). To force myself to do that, I had to find a way to turn on all the other prospects I wanted. Namely, Ayton, Doncic and Bamba. Here's how my thought process worked out .... Ayton - I hate listening to this dude speak. And what TF is up with the 'multiple personality' thing? Yes, he said he has multiple personalities that handle different situations for him. Oh and 'Really?' again. You and Booker are gonna be the next Shaq and Kobe. R U Fkng kidding me? You realize Booker is the next slob-Melo, right? Doncic - I said it before and I'll say it again .... he's the love child of Evan Turner and Hedo Turkeyglue ... Hedo Turner *yawn* Have fun wrestling the ball from Dennis Spliff, Jr. and trying unsuccessfully to be the next Dirk. Mo Bamba - Fraud. Typical 'say what you think everybody wants you to say' guy. Good luck being a deep thinker while you on the bench 'cause you can't offer anything offensively and you too light in the can to reboard or ... do anything helpful on the court. Welcome to the mind of kg. I assess you posters in much the same way. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoneyBagggs - You know how Ersan always leads the league in charges taken. Well, I think Bagley's claim to fame will be in the sheer number of charges he'll commit in his career. Get used to head-down barrels into the restricted area *tweet* ... offensive foul. Bagley palms up as if to say, "WhutIdo?" Who else did anyone want? I got shade for 'em all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at clip after clip of Doncic and tried to convince myself that he is what everyone says he is but i just couldn't do it. But I said to myself at least he is big and can get in better shape and he would look better. We'll see if that happens. The Huerter tape has everything in it that I'd hoped I would see from watching Doncic's tape. Huerter will be very good in this league and he is still young at 19. I think the league dropped the ball on this guy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Mule Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 THE BEST DEFENSE IS A GOOD OFFENCE ! Hawks may still lose but it will be more like 120-117 rather than 79-72. Balance in the east still hinges on King James. Will he stay in the east or go west? LA would like him out there and Cleveland would love for him to stay put. Lloyd Pierce is a defensive coach, so tis said. He may have a lot of teaching ahead. Another thing, what are the Hawks going to do as far as trades and free agency? Before all the dust settles over the draft, we have that to consider. Will Dennis still be a Hawk? How about Baze? Yep. All those players we didn't get or keep, will they come back to haunt us like our passing over that PG that we really needed and the trading Nique? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Dennis has to be moved and that has been the plan ever since he publicly said he was disgruntled and wanted a way out. I think if Dennis brings a bad attitude into the locker room, we may try and give him away. Bazemore being moved is a coin toss to me. He is a good vet and a good teammate by all accounts. A solid influence for three new rookies. With the way Travis is with cap flexibility and adding picks, something along those lines will be needed to trade Baze away. Three rookies and add in Schröder, this season could be Pierce's most chaotic. I do think he is going to be fine. He has been around the game, different types of players and personalities, for over a decade. Pierce does not strike me as a push over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they sign Boogie they will easily finish with a pick outside top 5, worry is that it would be outside lottery, I'm greedy and want it to be 6 ?

Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk I hope so too lol, they are in the west though, if LeBron goes there and Kawhi is there next season it may not matter who they even pick up in free agency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kg01 Posted June 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 In other news that may make some feel a lil' better, smells like BOS may be dealing with some drama ... https://thespun.com/nba/boston-celtics/robert-williams-celtics-nba-draft-missing Haha, dude dropped due to concerns such as lack of focus, immaturity and now this. Also, I get Tatum/Brown are panning out but can we also recall Dan strAinge's actual draft record, btw? It ain't good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhillboy Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Gotta love Embiid. Threw all types of shade on Ayton’s defense. And I just don’t know how nasty Bamba can be. Gobert is nasty. Just getting a glimpse into these guys games and personalities a bit I liked Miles Bridges and Devencienzo. Lonnie Walker seemed like a Spur-type and Porter Jr.’s is just an interesting profile to follow. F$@k the rest of em if they ain’t Hawks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridges is too small to play 4, too slow to play 3 and can't shoot. Have fun with that, CHA. Oh and the fact that CHA wanted him pretty much guarantees he's a bust. Divincenzo is about 6'3" not 6'5" so I like him only as a 6th MOY type. I got the ginzu knives out for all these non-Hawks.

Actually, there is plenty of scientific evidence that shows this might be a simulation. Unless of course, if you feel you want to be at odds with a large number of physicists. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/are-we-living-in-a-computer-simulation/ Quit trying to make me a Lonnie Walker fan with your Jedi mind trick....it won't work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NBA is a grind and many nights, teams just don't have the legs to put up major points. It isn't a playoff strategy to go all in on offense, but it is a helluva regular season seeding strategy.

Baze is a hard worker, a good pro. He is not worth his contract in numbers, but he is the type I could see becoming a coach one day. He rarely takes plays off, keeps playing, even if down 20. There has to be some real value in his character/work ethic making others better. I'm wondering how much of Hawks U (even if only a little) can be attributed to his influence/example.
