    The Hawks dun need anyone at this point, maybe Trae a little longer, they need to be bad and pick high.

    I'm concerned with how much Gordon has regressed, but anything is better than PJ's donuts. I'm not willing to trade Clint unless a decent center comes back. Gordon feels like Stromile Swift 2.0 we look at what he could be instead of what he is, just hoping it will be easier here with the right people throwing lobs. Much respect for posting that link, great read.

    I watched the video and it did sell me a little. The Blake/Draymond comparison was actually pretty spot on if Gordon can regain confidence and play in the right system. Seeing Gordon attack the rim from the elbow after the passer gets doubled could be a great fit for us. Still feels too risky to trade all the Capela alley oops for.

    I'm hoping we land Drummond and Covington. If Atlanta gives us enough for Clint, it is possible. Their wingspans are wowza.

    If the Rockets truly are after Covington still maybe they can swing this. The Rockets would have to get back a pick from the Hawks and then would swing it to the Timberwolves for Covington (if they are asking for at least 2 first round picks for him)

    I don’t think Drummond or Turner are realistic at this point. Think of someone like Nerlens Noel or maybe Theis or Len or Robert Williams. Rockets just can’t afford guys like Drummond and Turner without moving EG which is something we can’t do until the summer.

    They are young and talented but losing. ATL, ORL, MEM, PHX, MIN, etc. need to follow MIA model and bring in a vet alpha.

    GSW does not become a dynasty without trading for Iggy IMO. And of course acquiring Durant.
