So, who is the Hawks' Leonard?

The Hawks are interesting predicment, because the starters just won 60 games, four of them made the All-Star team and they have two starters in Milsap and Carroll that they could lose.

Obviously,a giving up Milsap to get Marc Gasol and sliding Horford to the 4 would be interesting, and jesus the ball movement would be even better than it is now, which is saying something....but that's unrealistic.

McRoberts might be available.
Love would give them a big time scorer.
Draymond Green fits everywhere.

Guys like DeRozan and Ross are available.

interestingly, Pop says Bud was the one driving him and RC the hardest to do the trade to get Kawhi. Pop said he really liked George Hill as a player and person and was having a hard time parting with him.

Hawks gonna get Kawhi and reunite him with Bud! muhahahahaha

I don't know who all will be available, but this team needs size. We were just completely dominated by Tristan Thompson.

As someone who has been in Atlanta since 1982, the Hawks are done. This was it for another 15 years.

I certainly think 60wins is not the norm but it isn't like this team is going to miss the playoffs next year. Bud just had a terrible series but you have to have faith in the man for what he has been able to do.

make a run at Jimmy Butler or Leonard. Both will probably be too expensive.

they won't be too expensive.
They won't be available to anyone but the Bulls and Spurs.
what is this the fantasy board? THey are RFA's. they aren't going anywhere.

you have to have faith

Faith in ATL sports is all gone.

I couldn't help but think about the Spurs series against the Grizzlies in 2011 watching this, in which the Spurs were the number one seed and lost rather handily to the Memphis Grizzlies. They lacked physicality beyond mid-range and it prompted them to trade up in the draft with the Pacers to take Kawhi.

Splitter is why they've been able to dominate the Grizz since then, not Kawhi.

if they draft Dekker, you'll know that Demarre may seem out of their price range. or that maybe Thabo ain't healing up well. or nothing at all.

but yeah, I don't really want Dekker. or any wing really for that matter (assuming Demarre comes back). I'd rather fortify that frontline. maybe let Pero walk, or bring him back in a lesser role. let Moose and a Portis-type battle it out for backup 5/ big 4 roles.

I'm liking Portis because he's 6'11", built pretty solid high motor, and he can shoot. skills fit the team, and I thought there was way too lax of any effort at times in the playoffs. I like Moose's effort, but he can get pushed around.
