    Yes I know to me it would be Harkless then Aminu. But don't be surprise that Harkless is being hold out because they want to show case Layman due to he in contract year too. Due Harkless have a bad knee it easy to justify for him being held out.

    I'd be surprised in this case if we were holding Harkless out for trade reasons. He is one of our bad contracts that would have actually been able to be traded without attaching a pick if he was playing halfway decently.

    Bembry looks good as Princes replacement, I’ll take either one, but this does make trading Prince easier for Atlanta.

    That's why I took a lot of time to run a spreadsheet. I wanted to find out who is stealing Prince's job...maybe that's the one we should go for. It's DeAndre' Bembry and Kevin Huerter.

    Am easier-to-type 1-word disputation would have been "No."

    2 words? "No steal."

    3? "No steal, man."

    Watched a little of prince tonight and uhh..not great Bob. Doesn’t look very athletic. Maybe it’s just rust.

    Boxscore ain’t pretty either. 3-13 shooting.

    What I’m sayin is we can get him for biggie

    Yeah he's never been a great vertical athlete. More fluid than anything.

    He's a streaky tough shot maker with nice length, but that's about it.

    Off of one poor game? Surely his earlier season form shows he is worth more than Biggie, who has done zero in this league?

    Surely I was exaggerating.

    But he definitely isn’t worth a first. His worth is probably somewhere in between Oubre and Harkless.

    He's worth a first. He was picked at no. 12 in 2016 and has done pretty well since, is under control for a servicable contract. They will easily get a first from someone like Philadelphia or OKC for him I feel. If we refuse to give them our 2019 first (which will probably be 23-26 range) we won't get him, plain and simple.

    I heard their GM was looking for future picks, not 2019 ones since they already have 5 picks in this draft.
