In memory of our brother Charmander, RIP: The OFFICIAL 2019-2020 Atlanta Hawks season thread #Set

Honest question, why you hate Bamba so much? Don't y'all need a rim protector, preferably someone who can space the floor? Well Bamba can do that, Orlando ain't really playing him like that, so y'all can have him for the low.

Bamba won't be ready from a physical standpoint for another 2-3 years. And that's just the physical aspect. That nikka get pushed around in the paint.

Trae gettin busy

 

[Captain Crunch]

We need a big who can step out and also hit a jump shot. Can Bamba do that? Can he stay healthy? Can he play defense without fouling? What does he offer besides being tall? Anything?

You’re crazy if you think we would DeAndre Hunter for that bum

He's made 34% of his threes so far on 64 minutes
He's played 88% of this year's games
Per 36, he's averaging 4.3 fouls.

He's not a star, but he can definitely be a 12-15ppg big w/ great defense(basically prime Ibaka), might fukk around and be an All-Star. I know you like Hunter, he's most likely just a 3&D guy, you trade that if you can get a potential star and pick.
You guys have a solid chance of getting a high upside wing this year(Ball, Edwards), so someone like Hunter or even Huerter might become dispensable this summer, why not trade one of those wings to fill a need and potentially get that 3rd star?

That might be his trademark move

I forgot who he broke last year with that

What has he done that makes you think he’ll be a star?

GTFOH with these bootleg projections because a player you’re in love with hasn’t panned out. He’s a bum, I’m not trading anyone on the Hawks for him

His rookie weight was 225, now he's 240, that's 15 pounds in one year. Let's say it takes him 2 years to get to 260, what are y'all competing for that makes it so urgent, that you can't wait 2 years for a 21yo 7'1 rim protector who can shoot to bulk up?

only player I’ll give up for Bomba would be Bruno Fernando


DeAndre Hunter has some goofy ass moments but he’s a dawg out there. I’d never trade him

I don't think he'll be a star, but I think he has a shot to be an All Star, if he reaches that ceiling we'll just have to find out. Let's say he never reaches that level, how often can you come across young bigs who can shoot; block shots, and are athletic?
I'll do you one better, let's say y'all get Ant this June, what would you rather have? Ant plus two other wings who are clearly not on his level(Huerter and Hunter), or Ant plus Hunter/Huerter and a big that fills a need?

Played hard again not enough for the W

 

[FreshFromATL]

Good effort, fat boy just got busy tonight

 

[#1 pick]

I got no issues with Capt Crunch, his trades proposals aren't the best but it is what it is.

I felt we played well, just not enough to win. We are a young team. We are learning and growing. The rookies are getting bad so I am okay with shyt.

 

[Rickdogg44]

Damn. We almost had last night's game.

1. Collins dunk on Joker
2. Trae move on Porter
3. Red Velvet getting his groove back

Joker killed us tho
