So we basically walked away from last year's freeagency with Batum, Marvin and Dwight fuging Howard

 

God damn cho, I give you poo all the time, but he just saved his career.

Charlotte finally got the semi hot chick in class

[WOW!!]

Great trade 

Now stay the course draft mitchell who is the best fit for this team..

Still flipping out about this, can't believe they flipped Plumlee, Marco and the 41st for Howard and the 31st.

Cho that was a good trade!

[Zaximus]

Fantastic trade.   In my opinion, with a few other moves, this gets us back into the playoffs and a fun team to watch.   I think Howard will be a bigger scorer here for us than previous years as well, especially with Clifford.

When I first heard about it I was like, 'wtf is wrong with us'.

But then I found out we dumped Plumlee and everything was cool.

Dream Scenario #1: Malik Monk falls to 11, and Harry Giles falls to 31.

Dream Scenario #2: Jayson Tatum falls to 7ish and we package 11, 31 and a player to go get him.

You guys are funny thinking Howard is starting over Cody. Howard is coming off the bench.

[JJman Returns]

Obviously a great trade. Turned what looked to be another boring offseason into an exciting one. I'd be fine with Mitchell or Kennard, and trading up for Monk should absolutely be something Cho trys to do.

I think at a minimum you have to give the Hornets an A- grade for this deal.  It gets that grade for getting rid of Plumlee's contract alone.  Getting Howard and moving up in the 2nd round is just icing on the cake imo. (maybe more than just icing with Clifford's experience with Howard and our defensive philosophy, tempering expectations, but we'll see)

On the other hand, ATL gets a D at best.  Keeps being reported that this was a salary cap dump for the Hawks.......but they are taking on Plumlee's contract?  What am I missing here?  Actually, who cares, it's Atlanta, haha

I see ya Cho!

[yasuhara2241]

I don't know how anybody can see this as a negative: 

1. GOT RID OF PLUMLEE!!!!!!

2. Moved up 10 spots in the 2nd round

3. Marco played well at times, but is replaceable. 

4. Got a decent rotational player who can play the defensive end. 

Good job Cho!

Now for the draft, I really want to find a way to get Monk. I know he is a small 2 guard but I want his shooting. I am still not 100% sold on Kennard, would probably prefer Mitchell.

If it's a salary dump, it's the dumbest salary dump ever.  Combined we'll spend 48 mill, while the Hawks spend 46.  It's stupid.
