Bazemore is a great fit against trapping teams. He can handle the ball and you have to respect his shot. Turner can handle the ball but was not a threat to shoot so it didn't help our guards.
There are cheap options in free agency that could replace Meyers, or provide insurance at center. If they have an opportunity to dump him, do it.
I'm liking this move for our current squad and coach. This will allow flexibility within their play calling because defenses will now have to respect Bazemore as a carerr 35% 3-pt shooter (as you mentioned in your post as well).
Maybe Hood's agent knows what type of deals he will get and told Neil what the outlook of him returning are? (Not good) Or maybe Neil just feels like Kanter is needed more and decided to go in that direction for the MLE. You are right about Meyers, we may need him until Nurk gets back
All the best to ET, he seems like a genuinely good guy. Atlanta has young talent, to say the least, and he can be a solid addition with post season experience. So I know nothing of Bazemore, please someone sum up what this will do to the lineups.
Neil already knows what Hoods market is, I’m very sure of it. Look at how quickly guys agree to deals after the clock hits midnight on July 1 (or in this case the afternoon of July 30th) Those deals arent negotiated within an hour lol.
Yeah I agree, that was my point. If Neil doesn't know for sure, Hoods agent has a pretty good idea. I think acquiring Bazemore was a clear response to that.
