This dude rolling with the ball in Zion’s hand would be a problem. He’s shooting 80% from the FT this season. I think he has a decent chance to develop into a piece that fits perfectly beside Zion
Gotta really wonder if he's available at all.
If you were to get him, you really are gonna have to give up a young promising guy like herb or trey.

I live in Atlanta, so I'm forced to listen to a ton of Hawks stuff. From what I've heard, they aren't shopping Okongwu without getting a premier big man back. They like him a lot here. He's not untouchable (strangely that's Jalen Johnson). But it would take a ton.
I don't see them being interested in anyone on the Pelicans, other than Zion. They're a team in flux, trying to find a way to make it work around Young. I don't think we are a good partner for them..

I don’t know. I think he has promise but compare his stats through his first 4 seasons with JJJ (they are both 6’10 240) and JJJ is a far superior player. Okongwu has the potential but his stats don’t scream anything about being worthy of a Herb/Trey type package. I’d probably reluctantly trade Dyson in a package but if ATL is committed to winning with Young as their star then yeah he’s probably not even available. We need to find that guy in this years draft and we don’t really have the luxury of waiting around for a player to develop

Yeah, Jalen Johnson has come out of nowhere he looks like he’s going to be a very good all around player

That's a pretty good top 20 but man idk if i can pick 20 players before Jimmy. When the playoffs come, he becomes a top 10 player

It still pisses me off how Jaxson was the perfect 5 for this team but he never progressed from any year. If that dude had any brain, he’d be starting for us right now
Same here. Dude is legitimately one of the best athletes i've seen. 7 foot, soft touch, mobile on the perimeter. Just absolute complete shite for brains with no desire or work ethic.
I know that pick was a whiff but i see what Griff was going for and i can't really blame him. Jaxson Hayes with the work ethic of a guy like Herb Jones would be an insane player

Spot on. I think it definitely worked against him that he had been a football player his whole life. If he had been playing basketball from a younger age and understood it better, he could have been a star on this team. Now I pray on his downfall cause he went to the Lakers of all teams
