    Are the Hawks receiving a pick?

    Warriors fans actually liked Buddy. He plays with a lot of joy. Kinda hard to explain unless you see him live.

    I don't think this moves the needle for the Warriors season, at all, and it doesn't open a window for Curry to win another Championship.

    Porzingis has missed 40% of his games in his 10 year career. Probably the 3rd biggest thief behind AD and Embiid.

    doesn't make sense GSW unless this is in preparation for Giannis or another star who would benefit with stretch big

    So of course it was Hield who buried us last year and now seen as a scrub.

    The trade adds youth and athleticism to Atlanta’s roster by bringing in Jonathan Kuminga (23, a high-upside forward) and Buddy Hield (a proven perimeter shooter), while moving on from Kristaps Porzingis and his ongoing injury issues after he appeared in roughly 18 games this season.

    Pros: Kuminga’s upside fits nicely alongside Jalen Johnson, giving Atlanta a potentially explosive wing pairing, and Hield helps open the floor with his shooting.

    Cons: Hield’s multi-year deal could become a long-term burden, and some feel the return doesn’t fully reflect Porzingis’ impact when he’s healthy.

    For a team resetting after the Trae Young trade, this move offers relatively low risk with upside, though opinions remain split on whether the overall value truly favors Atlanta.

    You can never take Game 1 of the finals from Kristaps. I will always love him for keeping the Mavs from wining

    That's just a staggering # when you're compensating someone well to perform.
    I guess Kerr just said he would never play Kuminga consistently, which sounds really stupid to me. But you lose Butler. Then trade a young, decent, hard-working big and your only remaining creative wing player, for an old, injured big.

    Just terrible, the more I look at it. But it makes me happy of course, b/c Worriers.

    I don't think this is asking too much -- quite fair actually.
