I don't see the point in bringing in both Dunn and Rondo - they're essentially the same cotdamn player. And you can't have any two-man combination of Trae, Rondo and Dunn on the floor at the same time.

Hawks have said from the jump that they want defensive minded veterans to round out this team, specifically on the 2nd unit. Dunn is gonna be at SG, Rondo backup PG so I doubt you see them on the floor a lot together. But this team won’t be pushed around like they have been the past few years

Trae/Rondo/Goodwin
Cam/Dunn/Huerter/Mays
Gallo/Hunter/Snell
Collins/Okongwu
Capella/Bruno

Lol what kind of message are the Hawks sending to other players that they’ll take the time to develop you into a very good player and once you wanna get paid you get told to kick rocks

He’s a below average defender, is unable to create offense for himself or others (he needs a crafty/creative ball handler to facilitate for him to get his shot off). He’s a sub par shooter off the dribble too. Plus his lapse in judgment with the PED suspension killed last season

Positives is that he’s young, is an amazing athlete and is a good and improving shooter. But he’s limited in what he can do offensively for himself and others and a non factor on defense. Why would we pay max for that?

Trae is gonna get paid. We’ll see what happens when Cam & DeAndre are up for their deals. John could get paid here too but not for a max IMO

ATL to MEM
IMO a max player is someone you can tell before the game to go out there and win this bytch. John Collins is not that. John Collins has to be your 3rd best player behind two legit max guys.

It's 2020 and the NBA has changed. Most players are getting paid more than they deserve. I rather bet on a 23year old PF who gives you 20/10. What's the other options? Sign journey men around Trae?
