But looking at the season ahead of us i can see us going only in 2 directions. In my opinion we are 1 piece away from becoming a true contender so it's going to be interesting to see if we can get that final piece in the offseason.
One direction is that we are trying to get a big wing, but i really don't see who could that player be. Maybe Cam Johnson is available, Mikal Bridges would be perfect but i don't think we have enough assets to get him.
Other directions is that we try to get a bigger guard with good defense. Upgrade of Josh Green and that we try to play with potential 3 ballhandlers in the lineup as we play in the season we reached WCF.
In that way Dejounte Murray should be one of the players we should be monitoring.
The question is how much would Hawks want in return for Dejounte. They were rumours that they don't want long term contracts, so Tim expiring + FRP works. Questions is it is that enough.
They were rumours they were shopping him during TDL, but the right offer didn't come. Knicks got Anuoby, Lakers didn't trade for him after Russel good performances, Heat got Rozier, so there were not market for Murray.
If the price is Hardaway + FRP or something like that, i'm all in for that trade.
I agree. But its like the Kuzma situation...you only bring Dejaunte in if he wants to be here and is ok with his role here. No one was advocating to have Kuzma come here and shoot the rock inefficiently as if he is a #1.
Luka is young and they have a little time...but the NBA is getting Lengthy and I support trying to find lengthier guys with decent offensive fundamentals and decent defense. Assuming you have one more big upgrade to make based on assets...Id prefer the player to be lengthy.
Is it harder to find a Lengthy guy that can play or a smaller POA defender in offseason/draft? I just assume its the lengthy guy...so I would prefer using precious assets on that kind of player. But...I have no clue.
