This is a great point. The Hawks have done well developing their talent. To think we can somehow unlock him is not necessarily rooted in reality.

I think I am more worried about Reddish's mindset than his stats, even though his stats are poor. If he was team first guy who did the little things they wouldn't want to trade him. He seems unable to play a small role, and he isn't contributing unless he is on fire. For a guy who wants a larger role, he is not nearly consistent enough and disappears too much. He never looks for teammates. That stuff about how he played pg in high school seems more legend than anything.

Feels like a Jeff Green or Evan Turner sort of "never lived up to his potential, but was serviceable at times" is his ceiling to me.

The Hawks ownership is apparently real cheap and doesn't want to go into luxury tax. They didn't want to pay Reddish beyond his rookie contract. They wanted to "reset his contract". The quotes in this article doesn't sound like a GM getting praised for what he has put together. I figure this is a start of a shake up of their roster.

"Maybe it wasn't such a great idea to bring everybody back, that's on me. We have a few weeks here at the trade deadline and that's what I need to figure out...it's my responsibility to put a product on the floor that can and win. Right now I'm questioning whether or not I have done that."

Hawks GM blasts team's defense and strongly hints at a trade: 'Maybe I need to lower my expectations'

Atlanta wouldn't even make the play-in round if the postseason started today

Yeah, I can't remember where I read it but it basically came down to that Reddish rookie contract coming up and luxury tax implications.

Is it bad? Was he good? Now the Cavs will start making dumb decisions and all the good moves were because of him rather than Koby? Was he the one working in the shadows? is Koby a puppet? Are we doomed? Shit.

Probably left out of spite because Koby got the extension instead of him.

Like losing Rubio, except for paperwork
 
there’s like 1.5 good players there and one of them doesn’t play.

The Knicks are just one trade away from reuniting the DUKE big 3.

Man that tournament run was so disappointing. RJ deciding he was the best iso option cost us the tournament. It was frustrating to watch live and the NBA results kind of bear what I saw that night: RJ is an iso heavy wing who cant shoot well enough and holds the ball too much, Zion is an absolute machine, and Cam is ... kinda there
 
Just Thinking out loud , If Pangos contract is not use in a trade by the end of the trade deadline I’m either buying him out and hope a team in Europe will pick him up, or just straight waiving him… I see no reason to keep him on the roster after the deadline, whether go fishing in the buyout market…..

who would the fans relate too????
 
This upcoming game vs. San Antonio should be a good learning experience. Pop always gives you a magnification of your offensive weaknesses by taking away what works best. I recall the game years ago with LeBron and Kyrie where Kyrie dropped 57. Pop let our slashers go by their bigs so the bigs could trail and get easy swats on our layups. It got Kyrie into a funk until he got hot from three. We didn't get a good game from our guys against Golden State to get that learning experience against a great coach. I think we will against San Antonio. Our lineup with so many bigs should get Pop's interest because it's a new type of challenge.

LeBron didn’t even play that game if I recall. It was all Kyrie.
