Moderators macdaddy Posted January 22, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 I haven't seen Gallo play in a while but I"m not very interested in giving him a contract next year. Just seems too hard for him to be healthy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB21 Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 Well, if we continue talking ourselves out of adding players that can actually help this team win, then the Hawks will not push to get over that hump anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The combined savings from taking a larger salary and getting an offset if another team resigns him is a perfect scenario for Turner to be traded. 32 minutes ago, NBASupes said: I was told he wants to go to a team where he is going to get mins. This I find hilarious. I'm just picturing the conversation with his agent now: - "Start working the damn phone. Teams have finally stopped giving me minutes just because I take up ~20% of their cap!" - "So you want me to find you a team with less competition for minutes than a G League player? " - "Right." - "And it has to be a team that doesn't mind someone shooting 38% from the floor and 0% from range?" - "Right. All the contenders want the kind of value that I bring. With big minutes. So we can sign another big deal!!" - "I love you man!! Let's go find us another whale and bring home that sweet 10%!" 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurpilo Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 Adams is not even the best fit at center for us. This FA class provides centers that are at least as good as Adams. Cheaper options and better fits as Noel, Baynes, Ibaka, Wood or Thompson, equal value same money as Drummond and Whiteside. in my opinion I would prefer Drummond over Adams and definitely Noel or Ibaka over Adams. There is absolutely no need to lose an asset for Adams. on the other hand Gallo may impact Hunter and Reddish development, I am sorry but I am not ready to give up on them. SG position is other history, probably we need a reliable option there that is not a liability in defense, Joe Harris would be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Popular Post AHF Posted January 22, 2020 Moderators Popular Post Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 Neither Noel nor Ibaka have the strength to hold up against big centers. Neither Wood nor Thompson have the size. They are all also UFAs and can walk. They all seem to overlap more with situations where we would play JC at C. Will be very interested to see the pricing on these guys in FA. Pretty wide range of potential values. With Drummond, the issue is he is an UFA and can simply walk. He can also demand a huge salary on a 5 year deal if you trade for him. You better be certain you want him here for the long haul at that price if you are trading assets for him. I think the big attraction for Adams is certainty that he is on your roster next year and very solid defense from him with decent contributions. Some of the advanced stats absolutely love him and I'm not that high but he just seems like a good guy to add for team growth to me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the value for both teams. It's a tough call, versus going for Harrell or targeting a C in the draft. I can't imagine we would still have interest in a Harrell deal if we did this. I wanted to get home so I could type, not text this answer. Gallo isn't our secondary target. We are 2+ million still under the cap. Assets - In order of salary greatest to smallest (Red = Hawks want to trade) (Blue means Hawks would prefer to keep) Green = no preference) All can be had but our preferences are listed. Parsons contract Turner contract Parker Len Carter Bembry Jones Graham Fernando Our first Brooklyn first OKC first Future picks Now the only thing with trade value for bringing in players are players. There are no dollar values on picks. So no matter what picks are involved on either side, dollar values will need to match if the Hawks take on more than $2+ million in salary. Targets - 2 year contract players...not 4 year players Space and defend C Space and defend PF (both need to improve rebounding and at least 1 needs to be a space eater) defensive wing mentor for the rooks who knows how to defend the pick n roll and who understands motion on offense They are trying to flip our (assets) into 3 players and trying to use the 2 big salaries to get 2 of those and use the extra salaries to get the 3rd. Teams like Philly, LA, etc (contenders) have no interest in the salaries or picks but would have interest in Len, Carter, Jones, Bembry at the right price. Teams like OKC want a salary dump while remaining competitive (salary reloads and a player (Len/Parker, etc)) Teams like Chicago (late stage rebuilders) would be interested in Bembry, Fernando, Len types and picks if available. Teams like Charlotte want a salary dump and picks. Teams like NY want players under 25 + salary dump+ top 10 picks. It is a complicated mess, the Hawks are at the center and holding all the cards. The Parsons car accident, Parker injury mucked things up and put us in a less advantageous position and teams know it. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the advanced stats absolutely love him and I'm not that high but he just seems like a good guy to add for team growth to me. Umm perhaps I did not explain well my reasoning. I don’t think we need to trade for any center now. I think we need to wait till FAgency and sign one. I think we should go after Noel, Ibaka and Drummond because I think they are the best options. Noel and Ibaka should be cheaper than Adams and better fits and Drummond is a better player and I think can be had at the same price. Advanced stats tell you that Drummond and Adams have similar stats and Drummond never played with a true PG, removing isolation from his game he would be an absolute stud, he does not need to score a lot with Young and Collins on the team. Noel is simply outplaying Adams at OKC no matter what stat you look. Ibaka is a real good fit for our game. shockingly there is only 3 cm of height advantage for Adams compared to Drummond and Noel, true that Noel does not have the weight but we have seen he can defend big centers.
