When I request these I’m basically asking either you or @Diesel for the few ESPN Hawks-related Insider pieces (with Zach Lowe gone a whole lot less), you’re the ones usually posting them. Preciate it. The rankings look spot on to me. I’d go a little lower on the market appeal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I must have you mixed up with someone else, apologies to whoever. Still you post a great amount of national pieces that I wouldn’t see otherwise. You’re on social media where they post summaries of Insider articles so in fact you do You’re the expert, does 12th in money sound about right to you? And does it even matter with Ressy?

And does it even matter with Ressy? 12th in money? - Maybe but unlikely. We are 19th in money for this season. It's about projecting salary if they assume they have extended the current players on the squad, but we know Messy Ressy will make sure he stays under the tax. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do understand what Jaylen is saying here, but he is not tactful at all. He's in the camp of "thinks hes a leader but is not a leader" for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do understand what Jaylen is saying here, but he is not tactful at all. He's in the camp of "thinks hes a leader but is not a leader" for me. True Jaylen isn’t the most tactful. But he isn’t exactly wrong. Pritchard and Hauser, already high level role players, project to get considerably better with Mazzula hell-bent on making them more than serviceable defenders. I think it was more of him giving them some shine than the Pistons shade. A single loss to the Pistons this season though and he’s gonna look quite silly.

Are we really asking this? I wasn’t asking in terms of he “deserves” it. From Jay’s original post I was asking about other factors like draft slot, service time, etc. I posted his LEBRON contract value, or course I’m not a proponent of a blind max and I like Jalen a lot.

Sorry for these elementary ass questions Rookies who typically start from day 1 and improve over their successive seasons. Jaylen spent most of year 1 in GL, got inconsistent minutes under Nate in year 2, Quin unleashed him for the 2nd half of year 2 when he joined. Finally got the starting gig in year 3 but was injury riddles. He has to show he can stay healthy. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought there were some players association, draft slot type stipulations and what not. How is a player’s “market” set?

Hawks obviously want a injury risk discount. Edited September 27 by benhillboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBASupes Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 The Hawks never get what they want but of course, KAT wanted to go to NY. Atlanta sadly just doesn't have the pull. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
