Unless a blockbuster in our favor comes across this summer, it's time to set Landry out to pasture.

 

Being passive with your assets is basically how Masai works.. letting them fade out

Hawks DNA. Passively terrible at asset management

If the @Sothron rumor comes to fruition I’ll back off my hate. If they can’t get a deal done for Allen, smh.

That scares me a little with Bogi's health/what happens to him when he plays heavy minutes. 

Better than what we currently have by far. But still a little concerned. I did forget about Boykin though, so nevermind lol. 

He just played heavy minutes.   His injury issues were all related to that knee he hurt right when we got him.  He didn't have surgery until last year.

IF the Allen for Hunter trade happens. Trade DJ and Capela for BI and Herb Jones. Or replace Capela for Okongwu and pelicans add lakers first.

The solved case of Bigfoot may happen sooner.

I’ll back off a bit. 

Get this deal done for Allen and don’t lose out on the deal for Murray .

Man I wish that would happen!

I really thought it was possible but I can’t trust this FO until I actually see things happen.

Plus 5 wins lol

”Hawks DNA” is not to win lopsided trades like this. Hope it happens. Believe it when I see it.

Do this now— Allen oozes Hawks DNA.  Cleveland may prefer Hunter over Ingram because he is signed for 3 years at a price less than half what Ingram will want. 
 

I can dream— No Traed | Sigur Ris | Herb | Just Jonesin’ | All En

An Icelandic post rock reference on the Squawk?  Nice.

Here is what some Houston reporters and posters think - short version they are generally thrilled and think they fleeced us:

 

Like 17 more pages of this stuff that I'm not combing through.  Although I did see this gem:

Utah was ecstatic to get JC too.  Let's check back in a year.

Murray for Herb

Hunter for Allen

I'm in...

Me too.  I am certain the Pelicans aren't on board for that one though.  Cleveland, maybe, as I do think that trade makes sense for both teams.  Hopefully we can work something out, always liked Allen

What happens when Trae gets trapped though?  Miami series all over again?

Hopefully JJ can create enough to keep the pressure off him. 

Miami series was as much or more about Capela being out and JC being a cripple.  We had so many problems to overcome and they were a good team that was well coached.

I’m fine relying on Bufkin, Bogi and whatever minimum salary vet we sign to come off the bench.

Also we didn't have JJ that can take advantage of the double.  Even what I've seen from Risacher, he seems to have great instincts on when and how to attack

[KB21]

One thing Landry keeps mentioning is getting versatile defenders who can switch.  That's music to my ears.

Now we just wait for the inevitable "welllllllll, they're asking for something we won't give up and we like our roster" 

That would be as predictable as a Hulk Hogan match from 1987...
