Or maybe the Hawks FO knows what it’s doing?

Insinuating Presti made that deal because of one draft pick that likely won’t be in the next lottery is pretty silly.

Are we sure the Heat employee didn’t pull a Malik Beasley?

Many of us have been saying it for months, Green needs to come off the bench.

Booker and Green aren’t a playoff winning starting backcourt.

Only caveat is something unusual like an excellent playmaking forward.

Only the top 4 teams make the “playoff”, but every team plays at least 5 games.

Grayson and Royce are exceptional 3-point shooters, however, I'm optimistic having more vertical spacing will enable lesser skilled shooters to make up some of the void left by losing those two guys.

You're right, that 3-man front court seems to fit well together, and I hope the FO is aligning their cap timeline when it comes to handing huge extensions to Brooks and Bridges this summer.

We'll still need to be lucky when it comes to development and injuries for it to manifest.

I think I’m quite sold that Maluach will shoot. The form is nice, he is hitting 3s in summer league and he’s always hit FTs. He’ll at least be a 36% 3 pt shooter and the defense is legit. He’s going to make Mark Williams expendable very quickly.


I'd rather Peat make Oso expendable and they ...

I'm still very much onboard with Fleming, but I don't want to ever read/hear anyone talk about him being the "Suns Kawhi" again.

How about Suns Jaden McDaniels?

Approved.

Better from Brea today. He needs to embrace his inner Landry Shamet.

I don't think they're intentionally "pushing it back as far as possible" for some nefarious reason.

It wouldn't really make sense for everyone to go back and forth from LV to PHX just to hold an introductory press conference.

I could understand last year's development plan, but Maluach is now at the point where he has to play rotation minutes even if it comes at the expense of some wins due to growing pains.

I'm wondering how long it'll take for teams to pick up on that spin move tendency.

He might be big enough that it doesn't really matter, but I'm sure a lot of teams will just foul him since he struggles to shoot right now.

Gambo has pretty strongly said there is nothing else going on and the trade is still happening. Also Bridges was sitting with the team at the summer league game. He wouldn’t be doing that if he wasn’t coming.


I didn't see that. That's a very strong indicator then.


Basically the whole ...

Trent is the right level of player that can exploit this type of cap circumvention. There would be a lot of upset owners if he were an All-Star level player.

It's still a slippery slope and not a good look for the league for anyone paying attention.

Right, very illegal.

That contract smells fishy to me.

Maluach :D
Peat :)
Fleming :?
Brea :|


Yeah, I don't get it with Brea. Is it a mental thing? All his college highlights he rarely even touched rim. Now his shot looks way off for the most part.


He was never good for much more than a pretty looking shot last season.

We don't know the ...
