They say that every year. Those nikkas ain't going no where cuz by the time they get close it's going to be time to cut these rookies new contracts. Horrible management. Booker ain't signing no 5 year deal to miss the playoffs every year.

Booker is staying.

Brandon knight will be in last year of deal and easy to move if they want

They'd have a ton of cap space to add to a core of

Booker
Jackson
Top pick from 2018 draft
Lotto pick from2019 draft
Chriss
Bender
Tj warren
Ulis my

There ain't a ton of teams that will be in a better situation

I found that odd since he has a job already...
Like I told my Hawks fans. It's just an interview and he's from that area and spend his whole life there till after college. There is nothing wrong with granting him an interview there. I would be more worried if it was Milwaukee. If he wants to leave for Phoenix, then they need to compensate us extremely well for a top tier coach.

Hawks have a better team. Prince in the 2nd half out shined everyone on the Suns in during the season including Booker who's defense was nothing short of epic fail. Dennis is still much better than any PG they have. Bazemore is a solid two way guard. Collins is better than any bust they drafted at PF and at C, Dedmon clearly outperformed any PHX centers.

Not to mention, we have more draft picks then them in the next two drafts and the lottery could put us in 1st and them in 4th just as easily as them in 1st and us in 7th.

Warren has been maddeningly inconsistent and I've been two Suns games this season. Once in HOU and ATL. Chriss has been a bust, Collins is better. Bender has under performed but maybe he's one player that could benefit from a great player dev coach like Bud. Ulis, epic failure but he's a 2nd round pick. Not a big deal.

I don't see PHX as a better situation for this year as their record indicates or next year. This is simply granting them an interview with his hometown team. I prefer we didn't do that because it makes fans like yourself take unnecessary shots at my org who might just be doing Bud a favor to test the market and see if he sees anything he likes and could back to us with his take. Maybe this might be the last interview we grant. Granting an interview is not accepting an offer which Atlanta would also have to approve.

“His [Jayson Tatum's]game is really well flushed out,” Bryant said. “Great midrange game. He can post up. He can finish at the rim. He handles the ball very well. He can shoot the long ball. I think there’s still little itty-bitty things that he’ll need to develop as his game progresses. Defenses tend to double him more to catch up to him.

“By and large, I love what I’m seeing from him, especially on the defensive end. Most young players coming nowadays just want to do the cute stuff. He seems to be the kind of player that doesn’t mind getting dirty and being physical and playing hard at both ends of the floor.

“Jaylen Brown is like that, too,”
Bryant added. “I think very highly of Jaylen Brown, too.”

Kobe Bryant likes what he sees in Celtics’ Jayson Tatum - The Boston Globe

He is going to be their best player very quickly. Maybe 2 years and there won’t be any debate.

The Bulls have the best core pieces and role players of any team in the Lottery, and they have an established style of play with money to blow in the next 2 seasons. They'll grab a SF or C this year depending on where they draft and who falls to them.
