I am right, you don't trade major assets for a non-factor especially when we aren't making the playoffs this year and he will be available in free agency anyway. Stop living in the moment. This has a long term impact. I don't want a rebuilding squad who still needs to add more young talent to trade value when we aren't really in a position to win yet. Patience is key.You’re crazy. Outside of Trae and John everyone on this team is and should be available. Drummond would easily be the best real big this team has had since Mutumbo
Trae balled out 1st half. Huerter a beast when he's aggressive
Team is playing harder the past few games, I appreciate the effort even more than the win TBH, but I’m glad to get a victory
Trae was beast mode in the first half
One of the few times Huerter played consistent for an entire game, that effort from him what he needs to bring every night, looking for his shot, going in the lane and finding his shot, overall confidence, good night for him
Quiet as kept Len has been solid for us, good way to start the home stand
He plays where he has to feel the game. He doesn't just aggressive made plays even though the ability is clearly there. It's not like Cam where he is raw. It's like, no, you got the skills right now to make that play consistently. It's a mental thing. I don't think he will ever get over it but I hope he does.I wish he was a 'no conscience' type of player
Was he really horrendous? Defensively, he was a fukking menace like he was tonight. I wish we wouldn't put so much value into the offense as fans.Outside of his horrendous first 10-15 games he's been pretty solid. He's a solid option as a backup Center moving forward imo.

I actually agree with @#1 pick. I wouldnt trade anyone drafted from the last 3 years. We selected them with intention of developing them, so why move on this early in their careers. Guys that are all 21 or under. To say 2 top 10 picks from a couple months ago should be available in trades is laughable. Thats being short sighted imoI only pull the trigger if he signs to a long term deal at the time of the trade. But you said two things that are crazy:
“Drummond ain’t even that good”
He’s the league leader in rebounds a inside presence and an All Star Caliber big. When was the last time the Hawks had that?
And saying everyone we’ve drafted over the last 3 years is untouchable is also crazy. Schlenk himself has proved that’s not true (we just traded Omari last summer) and Bembry is an unrestricted FA after this year who we drafted in 2016. You sayin we shouldn’t entertain trading him when he could walk after this season? Cmon man, there’s only 2 real untouchables on this team with Trae and JC everyone else is up for debate

Bembry was before schlenk, he was drafted with prince. I wouldnt mind trading him. Only reason omari was moved was because he wasnt putting in the work and watching his weight.
Also, I wouldnt max out drummond because he doesnt fit this team well enough.
You talking in circles my nikka. This nikka ain't that good considering the investment in him that would have to be made. It would be a terrible investment. I would only invest in him as a rental and see where it goes from there. If he proves to be worth it, it didn't cost us much but two 2nds. If that's not enough for DET, then that's okay, we move on till the offseason where we have more options. Don't compare nikkas we got minor investments in from the BudCox era (Bembry, Prince) or 2nd rounders(Spellman) basically to nikkas we drafted in the top 20 and value dearly. Just because your ass doesn't value them doesn't mean I don't much less Travis who values them likely more than either of us.Im not saying we should be in a hurry to trade our current picks. I’m saying it’s crazy to not even listen. Hunter nor Reddish have proven to be indispensable...if the right deal presents itself Schlenk isn’t doing his job if he’s not at least fielding calls on what he could get back in a trade.
And as far as fit, breh this team doesn’t have an identity on how we attack on offense or a definitive style of play. We shouldn’t be opposed to adding ANY player at this current stage of the rebuild
