It looks like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be a top 15 player at some point. Pretty cool

I looked up the league average 3 point shooting this year, it’s .369 compared to .355 in 2019. actually not as big of a difference as I thought it’d be

Bogdan has been shockingly bad what’s the deal there
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 1 March 2021 17:25 (three years ago) link
he's barely played. never got a chance to lock in with the rest of the team. basically all of those guys have been injured most of the season
― Heez, Monday, 1 March 2021 18:29 (three years ago) link
if the hawks hadn’t signed all those dudes to meet irrational & accelerated expectations you’d consider this season to be pretty successful. capela trade was a boon for them, huerter is having a good season, de’andre hunter salvaged his career and then some. but now it looks mostly like a failure ... the whole signing an entire line up of vets when your entire team is on rookie contracts thing just never made sense to me, it was two teams being jammed into one. another good reminder that bad ownership is the main impediment to success in most cases.
― J0rdan S., Monday, 1 March 2021 19:59 (three years ago) link
i can see the value of having a quality vet or two around but they really went whole hog, also all of those guys might be kind of weird idk
― lag∞n, Monday, 1 March 2021 20:09 (three years ago) link
I didn't even remember (know?) that they had signed Dunn. Either Gallo or Bogdan seemed like a smart level up move, like Denver bringing in Millsap however many years ago. It's a good statement. But adding both, after the Capela trade, seems like they really over-bet on themselves. Also it was basically betting against their own young guys and guess what Hunter turned out to be good (in addition to Trae, Collins, Huerter)
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Monday, 1 March 2021 20:15 (three years ago) link
i think gallo made sense esp after the way hunter played last year. but maxing bogdan when you needed to give trae, huerter and reddish big minutes ... even pre-injury he hadn’t clicked at all. can’t judge the contract just yet but i don’t think there was much logic there beyond “we have a lot of money to spend and this is the guy we can spend it on.” the outcome was either splurging on a guy who wasn’t better than the young guys you drafted or decreasing the value of those young guys. they also have gotten next to nothing for okongwu & if they re-sign collins i don’t see an obvious path for his development. not sure they’d rather have any of the guys who went immediately after him except maybe avdija but you can prob throw them on the pile of teams who will regret passing on halliburton and vassel
― J0rdan S., Monday, 1 March 2021 20:23 (three years ago) link
which ... are they gonna resign collins? he was completely unstoppable for three quarters last night but i still don’t have a great feel for whether he’s even that valuable to them. my inclination is that they could let him go and not get much worse
― J0rdan S., Monday, 1 March 2021 20:24 (three years ago) link
everyone seems to think theyre going to trade him since they werent willing to offer him nearly what he wanted in the offseason
― lag∞n, Monday, 1 March 2021 20:30 (three years ago) link
but is anyone willing to offer him what he wants (a max contract) and if not are they willing to trade for him if theyre might not be able to resign him
― lag∞n, Monday, 1 March 2021 20:32 (three years ago) link
kinda think the celtics should trade for him and resign him + use their tpe + assets to get a big wing
― lag∞n, Monday, 1 March 2021 20:33 (three years ago) link
ive been a collins skeptic but credit where its due he just keeps getting better seems like a real worker, and people are saying his d is improving which was the big question mark after he learned to shoot
― lag∞n, Monday, 1 March 2021 20:36 (three years ago) link
who knows what the hawks wld demand in return and they might just be planning on matching whatever offer he gets anyway
― lag∞n, Monday, 1 March 2021 20:40 (three years ago) link
put together your big package for collins then get harrison barnes for more or less a salary dump, something like that, my plan for building a celtics contender

Good lord what are they doing. This seems like a pretty big overreaction. The young kids have developed really well under him. I’m not sure how great he in the technical aspects but damn you signed a bunch of injured vets to accelerate this thing so wtf are you blaming the coach for. The core group is really solid. Jordan mostly otm other than the hunter shade. Ppl get hurt occasionally it’s not like he lost a leg
