We trade hawk for Burks im prob rooting for every oppenent until Willie and Griff are removed.



We aren't trading Hawk unless we are getting an All-Star back. The way that contending teams extend their windows is by getting productive rotation players on rookie-scale contracts.

Hawk's defense will improve, and next season, I'd expect him, at a minimum, to lead our bench units in scoring. He shows every sign of being the guy who can replace CJ in the starting lineup in two or three years. The only reason to trade that that production and potential is to significantly improve our odds of winning a title this season.

And we are good but not quite in that company yet.

I think we make some noise this year but I also think, as of now, we’d be fricked against Denver, Boston, or Milwaukee. Clip Show and Phoenix may also count, health permitting.

I don’t see OKC or Minny doing well between inexperience and Gobert’s playoff problems.


We pick up a big piece and we may make that jump, but I’m more interested in seeing what we can do while healthy as of now.
