And this is why getting worked up about *any* of the rumors prior to the actual deadline is pointless.

If Collins can be had than they better do whatever it takes to get him.

Agree with all of this.  If we could make this work without dumping Maxi, I really like the big rotation of KP/JC/Maxi.  Does not really explain why we are collecting centers.

Gott overpay to play. Collins isn't a max player right now (and maybe never). But is overpaying Collins 5mm a year better than just keeping Kleber now?


I think so.

That was my way of saying thumbs up.  Of all the overpays, give me youth.

Really wanted D12 here but with all of our signings and Lakers interest, I can safely scratch him off the list.

No matter what happens over the next hour or so, I just want to say, it's been a pleasure to talk basketball with you dudes over the years. 

Allrighty then....

It is very early but so far, I cannot say the new front office has improved the roster. Please Nico, do something delightful for us.

I don't think the Collins news is very surprising.   Collins wants a ton of money, the Hawks want to give a little less.  Until another team comes with an offer that Collins will accept, they don't need to rush things here.

Dude, I can't figure out what your process is for determining your likes/dislikes when it comes to players. I've had a ton of fun trying, but I give up. 

Why on Earth would you want that dude here?

We've promoted WCS to our starting SF.  Be happy, please.

That was fast. Also a BIG penny for Lonzo.

Cheap, elite rebounder who can bang with the big boys in the league.  He's situational, sure but fills needs the team doesn't have.  There is a method to my madness.
