nyone defending JV on this roster doesn’t know ball. I’ll accept not thinking Okongwu is the guy to replace him but if you really think this team has any shot of a post season run with JV playing significant minutes, your head is in the sand. Bookmark it if you’re confident but I guarantee you’ll never bring it back up


I don’t think anyone is delusional enough to think we’re going on a deep postseason run. JV is an acceptable center but I agree with need someone more athletic to complement our guys.

How do you know Okongwu was even available or if they wanted a kings ransom for him? We may have tried to get him but the ask was too steep.

I think with the right C to complement our stars and anchor the defense we have a team that could make a run. You may be right and Okongwu was never available but his name was in rumors. There’s no reason to keep holding the “war-chest” of draft picks when our team is 10 deep at least, already filled with cheap young talent that can’t find the floor (Hawkins). Upgrading our C was the only way to maximize the team this year and we sat on our hands

Rumor has it Hawks wanted to hold onto him because he started playing really well. They were trying to unload Capella.
