Hate this move. Hate it, hate it, hate it. You gave Wizzop one year with a new starting PG and dumped him because we refused to incorporate him consistently into the offense. Then you dump him for Miles Plummer (a bum), Bellinelli (an 8th man on a decent team) and the 41st pick in the draft.Listen, I'm all for cap flexibility, but not at the expense of being a competitive team. Who's our starting PF & C next yr? Moose and Humphries?

This trade is an open indictment on Bud and his bullshyt for the last couple offseasons, last year being a complete & utter disaster
Only thing I can see is they're dumping Dwight (and prob Bazemore) to resign THJ and maybe Sap. Outside of that, we might be going back to the Speedy Claxton dark ages

This ain't the NFL Draft. The pick should have never been involved in this trade.

Laughing at you n*ggaz like “ha ha ha”
Its the Dennis Tim and Prince show now. Bamba next year and we cookin with fish grease
That core ain't doin shyt
None of those guys are stars. They're good players in a good system surrounded by a star, who's the star here now? WOAT?
If they can somehow dump Bazemore
That's the only thing I'm hoping comes out of this like when Ferry got rid of Joe Johnson and Marvin Williams in the same offseason

I wanna win my brother, I don't wanna lose and tank for a weak draft class next yr or in 19
Exactly. Guarantee #41 will be some Euro stash who will never play in ATL
I'm embracing a winning strategy. How does trading Wop for spare parts and a 2nd round pick make us a better team?
We only moved back 10 spots in the 2nd.
If I'm not mistaken 2nd round picks don't even have guaranteed contracts. Why are we moving back if the strategy is to acquire better talent? Wasn't the talk about how we have all these picks this yr (3 this draft) and the next couple years, why are we trading back on that talent?
I'm hoping the overall strategy makes sense but right now I'm as confused as ever

I think you're right about people underestimating Dwight(He still is a top 5 center in my opinion) but I still like Bud as a coach.

I'm gonna let this bald head Men in Black looking ass cook and see what comes from it. He better trade Bazeless soon, that will get me right in the head.
Do that and we can tank properly. Too many teams that will tank harder these upcoming years for the top 5 selections.

His contract is easier to move and it frees up 12 million in cap space.Miles contract still terrible 12.5m per for 3 more years...
