A Better DJ & Photographer

Suggs is our defensive leader. When he's on the floor he sets the tone for the entire squad. Even when he couldn't shoot well he was still very important. Now that he can, he is a crucial part of our core and our identity.

I was thinking the same thing. Which would be more valuable in our playoff run? There is a great opportunity that we should take advantage of. C'ya Chuma. We are in 6th and closing in on 4th!

I said before the season that if Suggs, Paolo, and Fultz could get better at 3s we'd be a team to reckon with. We got 2 out of 3 and here we are. Suggs 3-3s in a row was an exciting turn of events!

I hate Boston but I am cheering for them right now!

Vuc is still such a liability on D! And yes, why did we ever get away from Goga?

I have to assume that we made some offers that were not accepted. Atlanta wanted a starter and 2 firsts for Murray. Apparently, nobody offered that. I wouldn't mind waiving Chuma and picking up Dinwiddie for a look.

I don't understand people wanting Simons. Yes he's a great shooter, but he is horrible on defense. How does that fit what we are doing? Give me Murray or Jones please.

Fultz hit a 3!!! maybe he's been sandbagging!

Plus if Houston beats Indy and we win, we jump into 6th!

I have no doubt that we have made offers and I have faith that if nothing comes from them then we avoided being fleeced. We don't need any rookies for a while, we've got expiring contracts, and a few healthy players that don't hurt us to let go. I have faith that the organization will do the best it can, even if it's nothing.

I would love that trade. I've been high on Kispert since his college days. That boy can shoot! Jones would be an improvement as starting PG and give us a bench of Fultz, Harris, Kisbert, JI, and Mo. I like it! I'd even throw in some 2nds.

Jalen's defense reminds me of a Pitbull attack. When we close out games with that squad it's like all the guys suddenly play almost at his level of D. They are like a pack of wild dogs!

He won the game for them! Also keep in mind he's a PG playing SG. We need a starting PG that demands respect outside the arc badly. Murray hit back-to-back game winning 3s recently to win games, one of which was against us. Last night he won the game for Atlanta. I care a lot more about the Ws than I do the shooting percentages.

Watching Murray destroy GS in overtime. We need to do whatever it takes to get him!

I would much rather play him in crunch time. His D and rebounds can turn a game very quickly.

This is exactly why we need to make a trade. We can't build a starting lineup when 1 or more of our 5 miss a lot of games. Let's trade 2 guys that don't play much along with some expiring contracts and picks and get a couple of guys that can play most of the season. Keeping what we have in hopes that they stay healthy is just leading to a heartbreak when we have 1-2 starters out for the playoffs.

It's time to cash in our expiring contracts and some picks for somebody that can run the team and hit 3s when we need them. Without being able to shoot Fultz runs the team well but makes it harder on Franz & Paolo. The fact that he misses so much time makes him a must go. AB has done a decent job when starting, but need someone better that can mentor him. There are several players that fit that description and we have some of the best assets in the NBA right now. Trading our expiring guys and a couple of picks is very low risk.

Simons sucks on D which makes him not fit what we are trying to do.

I've been on the Fultz bandwagon for a long time, but right now I'm all for using his expiring contract as part of a deal to get us a scoring PG. He's done, stick a fork in him, it's over.

None of us have any idea what offers our very secretive management has put out around the league. They are not dumb, and they see the same weaknesses that we do. For all we know they may have reached out to several teams trying to get us some help.

If that what it takes to get whichever the guy the F.O. wants, we should make the move. We have a great core and can do without rookies for a couple of years. Bring on a scoring PG that will compliment Franz, Suggs, & Paolo!!! It's also time to part ways with several players that don't fit what we are doing or are out too much with injuries.

IMO the F.O. needs to set their sights on exactly which player(s) they want and put offers out that nobody can beat NOW, not wait until the deadline and try to grab leftovers. Our needs are obvious and if we want to contend this season we have to make a powerful move. The guy (Murray) that just hit 2 straight game winning 3s would be great, but whoever they target we do have the expiring contracts, players, and picks to get a deal done. Let's go!!!

I'm with you on Shroder, I think he would be perfect to play with Franz and Paolo.

Even though Jett hasn't done anything for us YET, I'm so glad we didn't take Grady! So far he's a real bust!

I love Fultz, Harris, and WCJ, but IMO we need to package some or all of them with some picks to get a durable starting PG that can shoot 3s. I'm happy with Goga starting and Mo off the bench. AB is gonna be great but he needs to develop more before he takes over the reins.
