    If we’re hyping up Reed’s shooting splits in college, check this dude out if you’re a casual. We got two elite shooters to pair with Eason & Cam off the bench. This team long term is missing that true #1 option at guard and a rim protecting center. With adams back, I’d sign Wiseman to replace Landale. If he rejuvenates any value, we found our back up big behind Sengun for the next 7-8 years easily, same with the rest of the core.

    Excellent GM work from Stone

    Am I the only one that was never that impressed with AJ? Value seems perfectly fair at pick 44.

    Adams is not a long term solution. I’d rather keep Landale.

    Glad Kelly confirmed the trade for us. Couldn't believe any other sources otherwise. :rolleyes:

    Kelly is of the belief that it's not a done deal and the Rockets are still targeting Donovan Clingan over A.J. Griffin.

    He’s in just for this season like FVV. I’d decline FVV deal unless I know I can trade him with those picks. Brooks should be moved too

    That's a waste of a trade but the second round pick probably wouldn't work out either. He has weird religious beliefs against Beyonce, it appears his coaches atDuke and Atl didn't play him for some reason, has a bad injury history, not a good defender, and the team that drafted him has already given up on him.

    Don't worry about "where will he get his minutes"

    There are 15 guys on a roster, it is more than likely 5 won't play at all on any given night.

    Last year Tate averaged 16mpg (65 games). But wasn't even in the rotation... there are always injuries and opportunities.

    Nice add for one of those bottom 5 roster spots, definitely has more talent than whomever was available at #44
    A 40%+ 3point shooter with a 40" vertical? Yes please.

    When can he be re-traded?

    So. I really like this guy. Young. Super talented. He's a good dude from a good family. He might be a little bit of a headcase, but not in a dangerous KPJ way. We weren't going to get a better prospect at 44 or whatever it was. This was a good move.

    A lot of

    Hope it works out because he has the talent. Higher reward than anybody they could have gotten at 44.

    Would pump the brakes on the excitement. There's a reason the Hawks moved on from him and after the Thomas Robinson fiasco I'm not going to get my hopes up.
