this roster def cld make the offs in the east
Atlanta's starting five could be: Trae Young, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Danilo Gallinari, John Collins, Clint Capela. Off the bench: Rondo, Kris Dunn, Onyeka Okongwu, Cam Reddish, Hunter, Tony Snell. There had been pressure on management to put together a playoff roster, this is it.— Kurt Helin (@basketballtalk) November 22, 2020

hawks are still a big step down from any of last seasons seeds 1 through 7
― micah, Sunday, 22 November 2020 19:57 (three years ago) link
yeah congrats to the hawks for putting together a solid 8th seed
― call all destroyer, Sunday, 22 November 2020 19:59 (three years ago) link
im not totally clear on the cap/tax implications of a hayward for turner trade but mb the celtics were worried abt only getting one quality player back because their bench is so bad, i know when they let hayward walk that allowed them to get under the tax line which gave them access to the full MLE with which they signed thompson, i cant find how much they gave teague but him and thompson are prob making around the same amount combined that turner makes and the celtics wouldve had to take back more than just turners salary in a trade which wouldve put them over the tax line started the repeater clock ticking etc
― lag∞n, Sunday, November 22, 2020 12:26 PM (two hours ago) bookmarkflaglink
i think this is a pretty decent read on the situation. teague signed for either the minimum or the biannual which would be either 2M or 3.5M, plus tristan at around 9.5, is way less than turner at 17 or 18 plus something like mcdermott at 7 that indy would be sending back to keep their books reasonable. maybe ainge thought it was only worth going into the tax for turner/warren.
― call all destroyer, Sunday, 22 November 2020 20:04 (three years ago) link
ok, my best guess taking tristan off the celtics books and adding turner and mcdermott would put them less than 3M away from the tax line with 14 players on roster and payton pritchard as the backup point guard.

Payton Pritchard is a gym rat who never stops practicing, the kind of player who has to operate at near 100% of his athletic ability every minute he's on the floor and must find a way to compete by being craftier than his opponent. He will at least be a better player than Grayson Allen.
― The Solace of Fortitude (Aimless), Sunday, 22 November 2020 20:29 (three years ago) link
hawks roster looks good on paper but it’s a bunch of guys who have never played together before jumping in to a weird abbreviated season + a franchise oriented around a PG who treats NBA games like AAU tournaments. is their coach any good? 8th seed is def within range but i’ll gladly take the under on them

― Clay, Monday, 23 November 2020 04:29 (three years ago) link
truly believe there is no path to relevancy for the knicks under current ownership. dolan only knows one way of operating — star-driven quick fixes — but no player who can make that plan work wants to go there. KD and kyrie choosing brooklyn really should’ve automatically triggered a sale of the knicks. on top of it their core of young talent after years of top 10 picks is so unimpressive. frank ntilikina, kevin knox, rj barrett and obi toppin? yikes. their future is as bleak as any team in the NBA

yeah kieff had the more polished offensive game when they were young. i think marcus was a little more of a generic PF type and then he learned to shoot the shit out of the ball.
