Boston gives him the supermax they will be strapped with the new CBA and will likely be offloading some other players which will make them worse. OR, JB forces his way out and they lose him which makes them worse. IF he came to Atlanta, it would have to be for a reasonable deal so Hawks would be better. Either way, as long as Hawks aren't gutting the team, I'm good with either. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Popular Post macdaddy Posted May 31, 2023 Moderators Popular Post Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 JB on a supermax is a no brainer pass though. I like the guys and all but we have a team to build. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OG is good but he ain't no franchise player either, plus he's an injury risk. Makes either one untenable. The 'move' is to get Ingram to ask out. Holy tampering, batman! I see the vision. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily meaningful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h4wkfan Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 Wonder if the doors are open to some type of JC + deal for Lauri M. Wasn’t that a rumor early on last year? It’s dealing with Ainge - so i doubt it is a reasonable price, but he’d be a nice fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If JC's shooting returns...he could be a force if used correctly. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I want him to shoot better from deep next season, but him shooting threes was an adaptation to Cap clogging up the middle on offense. I'm not sure what moves will be made this offseason, but I think Collins can be so much more if he isn't strictly utilized as a shooter on offense. Hopefully, Quin will have him playing the way he was a few seasons ago. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of you new around here, if you didn't notice, consider that a good thing... it's a good day. If you did notice, just be sure to consider the source and his history of attention seeking... he'll say anything to get a reaction. This is as much reaction as he's going to get from me, though. It's not an interesting topic, and hasn't been for 3-ish years now. Go Hawks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Nate took over, JC was planted on the three point line period. I think that being able to hit 3 3pters per game is a good thing for his game but he needs to be fed with his post game too. He has an awesome post game but we don't use it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way in hell they are doing this deal unless we throw in a lot of extras. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OO isn't a great shooter but he can shoot enough from midrange to at least force the D to respect him. He can also make free throws. I'm not worried about him going against the Jokic/Embiids of the world since CC gets dominated by those guys anyway. We can grab a huge stiff off the bench for when we need an extra body, but I think CC's 20+ mil could be better used elsewhere. Or maybe we can bring him off the bench? Replacing CC with OO or anyone with any sort of jumper would just open up our offense tremendously. I don't see how anyone could guard us. Sure, we will lose some interior help D and rebounding, but I think the pros outweigh the cons here. OO isn't a bad rebounder, and he's a good defender. Just needs to get better at staying out of foul trouble, which I think he will be forced to learn if he's playing extended minutes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member JeffS17 Posted June 1, 2023 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 I think JC is versatile enough that he's worth keeping for a season under Quin. Assuming he doesn't get seriously injured and ends up declining the player option, he'd basically be an expiring after next year if it truly doesn't work out -- which should make him easier to trade if needed. CC does feel like the most likely trade to happen this offseason as a lot of teams will specifically need what he has to offer, which means we could get some value back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post thecampster Posted June 1, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 Anyone else willing to trade JC/CC + 15 for Embiid? I'd do it without remorse or forethought. 28 minutes ago, Dean Walker said: Brunson & Embiid would be a hard Duo to stop! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
