I've watched a lot more Hawks and Raptors games of late. Both teams really struggle in the half court, especially Toronto. The Raps offense is solely built on transition. If they get stopped on the break, it becomes nothing but a Brandon Ingram iso. Poertl is a deal killer unless they OVERWHELM the Mavs with picks. Same with Quickly. Barrett I like. His game has grown since NY. However, I'm just not enamored with Barrett as a centerpiece for AD, nor do I view him as a future "Robin" for Cooper.
The Hawks are a little more creative, with Johnson and Daniels, but there's a definite void in the middle. Risacher gets little to no offensive touches. I don't see him as some big "get". Yes, cap space would be nice, but I'd want picks from Atlanta.
