Bombs over Bog'Don! The Official 20-2021 Atlanta Hawks Thread #RIPCHAR #WeMove

[FreshFromATL]

Damn, I really wanted home court no matter who we played but looks like Knicks gonna get home court in a 4/5 matchup against us. I don’t see them losing tomorrow as I doubt Boston play their starters.

fukk it, as long as the Hawks healthy let’s take this show on the road. Trae always ball out at MSG anyway.

Question bruhs, who can the Hawks REALISTICALLY target to put them over the hump as far as title contenders? I know this is a tough question being we haven't seen how this team performs in the playoffs yet but I still think this is a good topic for discussion. Looking at the current lineup...

Cap
Collins
Hunter
Bogi
Trae

I think it's safe to say most people will look to upgrade Collins. My concern here is what player out there is actually available that we would be able to slot into the 4 spot and play the role we need them to?

The reason I say this is any player that play's the 4 from us would essentially HAVE to be a knock-down shooter with Trae, Bogi, and Hunter handling the rock probably 90-95% of the time and then we have Capela as the primary PnR person/rebounder. Collins currently shoot 40% from 3 so that's a MUST for any replacement IMO.

The next position people would likely look at is the SG position but Bogi is damn near the perfect SG playing next to Trae. He can handle, make plays for others, score from every level, has terrific size for a SG, and have shown he can take on tough defensive assignments when needed. The numbers Bogi putting up on this type of efficiency (combined with defensive prowess) won't be easy to replace IMO unless you slotting in someone like Klay Thompson...



So my question is, who are the realistic targets out there that can push the Hawks over the hump? We all know KD, Giannis, Bam (not a good target anyway IMO because he can't shoot consistently), Harden, AD, etc. etc. isn't coming through that door anytime soon so who would be available to push these dudes to another level?

KAT?

I think we are in a spot, youth wise, where the biggest jump we are going to make is from internal growth. Several of our key guys are young.

I think we are where the warriors were when they pushed the spurs in the first round when mark Jackson was their coach. They came back the following year with the best record ( along with our hawks). They didn't add anyone significant, just maturation and a better offensive system.

We will be better defensively next year just off the fact cam and hunter will be healthy and that's even if they don't improve. Onyeka with more size solidifies the backup 5 spot.

We will have to replace snell with another cheap knockdown shooter. Maybe a backup pg. If I recall correctly, warriors went from jarrett jack to Barbosa at backup pg.

I would target a knockdown shooter big whether that's the draft or free agency to eventually replace gallo when his contract expires

Internal growth is going to define where we go long term.

Aye, dap + rep.

Seriously, I'm proud of our teams. The NBA needed a well desired shakeup of top teams.
