Premium Member Diesel Posted July 22, 2021 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 I would peak at Noel. I think he plays like we play. But if his price is too high then... no. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted July 22, 2021 Moderators Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 Yes - the Hawks should have interest. I think they have shown they don't trust Bruno so a situational / flawed player like these guys could be a good fit if we can afford them. In practice, I suspect we'll have tough choices to make around where we spend our money between backup C and backup PG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRW Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 I like JaVale McGee, is he available? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member georgia Posted July 22, 2021 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 I’d like Cousins. For the price and money we may have or want to spend- I’d look at Dedmon, Olynk and Dieng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurpilo Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 In my opinion Best fit: Dieng Best player: Holmes Other options: Whiteside, Noel, Mcgee. We need a backup big and not only because OO is injured, we need the capability to stop Big Centers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBASupes Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Cheap vet centers are almost always backups which we need. My guess is go back to old reliable Dedmon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed like a lot of teams could use him when Damian Jones was playing pretty regularly while DD was out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been terrible since he left Atlanta the first time 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators macdaddy Posted July 23, 2021 Moderators Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Dedmon feels like he's done to me. He shot the 3 well for Atlanta the first time around but since has shot 20%. His second stint with us he seemed borderline unplayable but i hope i'm wrong. What is the deal with Hernangomez? I thought he was supposed to be good. I'd still go with Theis as my first pick for a backup big. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steal of a deal if he's making under $2 Mil. per year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin capstone21 Posted July 23, 2021 Admin Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 How about someone like Millsap .or JaMychal Green who can play both C and PF? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleachkit Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Millsap, perfect high character vet. I know he's a PF, but still bring him in. Fan favorite and I think he has a house here still. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators macdaddy Posted July 23, 2021 Moderators Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 I love Millsap but he is 36 this year. Not sure if he is going to help as backup C but certainly could be useful through the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member sturt Posted July 23, 2021 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 I'd be inclined to think Schlenk is targeting using his MLE for a new #2 PG (... and I remain on the Derrick Rose train, fwiw). Given that, he's left with the $6.5-ish cap space, and some of the names being suggested in this thread seem all but certain to get more than that. Not all, though. First priority is someone who isn't a big butt or thunder thighs, and rather is in the mold of the mobility and hops that Double C and Double O bring to the table. Even better if that player can, once Double O returns, can plausibly pick up leftover minutes at both the C and the PF, so he's still potentially going to provide some spare minutes and injury insurance in the playoffs. Give me Dieng or JaMychal if my guess is right that either will end up in that $6m neighborhood. Footnote: Would be nice to see Bruno stick around long enough to take Double O's summer league slot, and maybe get one more chance to turn some Hawks FO heads there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member BrazilianHawk Posted July 23, 2021 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Millsap is my guy. I'd love him to retire as a Hawk. Other than him, I really like Kanter. He won't stop some other center, but he WILL score on the other end. I also like Dedmon end Dieng. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
