Ekpe and Bogut would be aggressive. Don't hold your breath.

But temper your expectations. Signing one of those guys means waiving someone like NWG. It'd be foolish to draft a guy, wait two years, then finally bring him over and before you even get a chance to see him play or see what you've got, you waive him because you're being short-sighted. It'd be a huge shame to see him get picked up by another team and be a contributor and prove that we were right all along, and just gave up at the wrong time. That'd be foolish. Cataclysmically stupid. Ekpe and Bogut are out of the league for a reason. Why waive a guy who's currently in the league to pick up guys who aren't?

We should sign Latrell Sprewell and have him choke anyone on the Jazz who doesn't play aggressive.

Sprewell was a fine example of being a guy getting trouble off court, but ball the **** out on court. Could've been Josh Jackson

I am very curious about "all of the assets" that we gave up for Conley.

Crowder was a toss in on the Iguodala deal. Allen doesn’t play at all. We’re hurt that we traded picks that will be in the 20’s? The Clippers have traded picks years in the future there is nothing stopping us from doing that.

Please, enlighten me on who we could trade for with those assets who would be better than Conley.

I feel like you guys will complain about anything. Conley fits our timeline better than any other available player out there. Mitchell and Gobert are going to get paid and his contract comes off of the books at the same time.

Worst comes to worst we have the most valuable expiring contract in the league next year. I hate how Ingles has been put on a pedestal on this site because of his story and how he is an underdog. He’s just as much to blame for our problems as any player on the team. He has been playing very bad.

Based on what Conely is. I guess they could've gotten Ostertag, Pilacio, Howard Eisley. Any of those guys would help just as much.

Is this satire or something?
 
There were nearly ten better point guards in Europe last year than NWG. I’m curious if we even seriously inquired about one.

Atlanta gave up 1 first round pick that's likely to be in the teens of a very meh draft for a top 10 center Capela who's very much in his prime.

We gave up 3 first round selections for a top 10 PG Conley who's in his dawn years. The pick that we owed to Mem limits our ability to trade any first rounder to improve our roster for quite a while, and could end up landing a top prospect in a very deep draft.

I’m sure we could negotiate the protections on the pick with Memphis if we really wanted to trade a future first.
 
We aren’t contenders... we aren’t going to get out of the first round... our record against good teams is bad. Please don’t kid yourselves.
 
Like does someone here actually think it would be foolish to trade NWG? He’s 25.5 years old and looked awful when we’ve seen him. What’s the likelihood he’s ever going to develop into more than a #3 point guard?

Negotiation is required, yes. Like DL had spent months to "negotiate" a deal with Memphis over Conley and all he produced out of that with a vast overpayment. If anything, we were in the position to make demands since mem was more desperate to offload Conley to pave ways for Ja. Hawks already showed us that through some skilled "negotiation", one first rounder is all its required to land you a top ten player in his position and DL had to spent 3

This site is toxic rn. None of yall better jump back on board when we do contend this year.

We reserve the right to do exactly that, and we will. We also reserve the right to piss and moan like a bunch of babies with pants full of **** and no ***** to suck on whenever we damn well please. That's core to being a fan. Bitch when things go the tiniest bit tough, throw "I-told-you-so"s around when things go well. We live and die by the team and right now we are mostly dying. So kindly STFU and GTFO
 
We've got the rest of the season to see how well our current core can mesh, and to lose in the playoffs because of our bench. If the starting five continues to be great, then we'll have the ammo necessary in the offseason to build a bench. If not, then we'll have Conley on an expiring in a weak FA class. We're clearly not contending this year, but let's see if this group can figure it out.
 
So the Warriors traded for D. Lo in 2019 for a 1st round pick and 8 months later get Wiggins, a first, and a second for him. lmao

Udoh wouldn’t have helped out behind Gobert? Lol okay.

"Difference maker", not a helper. And yes, Udoh wouldn't have helped behind Gobert. Backup C is not the reason that we lost 5 straight. Our pathetic perimeter D was. Like those Conley supporter said, players like Ed would not all of a sudden become trash in such a short span for no reason. Ed would not fall off the cliff defensively if we weren't relying on our center so heavily to bail us out for every perimeter blowbys this season.

Yes we are. There is not a team we can't beat this year.

Signed, the guy who said we couldn't beat the Warriors or Rockets last year.
