    Compare RoCo’s stats against all other starting PF’s and it paints a picture for me. Just another of Olshey’s very bad moves!

    The stats say he’s a top 10 defender at his position and top 25 overall. Why do you think every good team wants him?

    A starting SG needs to be able to dribble the ball.

    Yep, Nas at SG only works if your SF is a lights-out shooter and your PF is Ben Simmons.
    Nas is a starting SF in my mind who can guard certain SGs and PFs as well.

    Something that Kevin o Connor dropped on a ringer pod yesterday is that Portland has been active in talking to the Hawks about John Collins. Would be awesome if so.

    I haven't yet listened but CJ talks about the 19 mil Ben has lost on his pod today.

    I did not realize that. Good to hear. For some reason, I thought he was still getting paid for missing games similar to Kawhi. No wonder Philly is taking their time.

    CJ is probably forced to help in the arbitration process as the president of the players union. It's a weird dynamic for sure. Say what you want about CJ, but he's the ultimate professional in being upfront in the media about these things. We haven't actually heard from Ben in 9 months in any interviews, only sources. CJ is fully transparent in talking about things head on.

    If the plan is to win with Damian, we need to consolidate and move depth for more top line talent. You can always find depth with cheap vets. IE, Mclemore, Milsap, etc.

    If Cronin is actually serious, he would package CJ, Powell, Nance and Roco to get an all-star like Simmons or Siakam. If not, he can kiss the job goodbye.

    here's the question: if the Hawks wanted Simons for Collins would Portland agree? Should they agree?

    I say no and yes

    Nas on the court for 82 games would be my dream.

    I don't think Ant would interest the team with Trae.

    If anything it will be more like Powell/Roco or Powell/Nance for John Collins

    Putting it all together.

    upload_2022-2-4_10-13-3.png

    We end up with Dame/Ant/Grant/Collins/Nurk

    with Hart and Nas off the bench.
