The Hawks probably made a mistake in not taking Luca Doncic...

    Yeah man I guess Im just having a hard time getting over the team not drafting Jaren Jackson to pair with Collins to give us the type of length to deal with the Embids and Giannises of the world. If it were me I wouldve started Jose Calderon (or some other journeyman) at point and figure out my backcourt later. We're gonna **** for awhile anyway so having a Jose Calderon at point would've been tank proof IMO. Then in a couple of yrs when Collins and Jackson r starting to make some serious noise TOGETHER u could go ahead and draft your future PG or maybe lure an established vet that fits our timeline. But a Ricky Rubio clone? NOOOOOOO!!! 😣😣😣

    Jackson was my pick and he has the 2nd highest win shares among all rookies right now, slightly higher than Doncic, and he just turned 19 in Sep. We couldn't have taken him and dealt the 3rd pick to Phoenix, but we might have been able to trade the rights for Doncic to Memphis at #4 and ended up with Jackson and a pick.
    Also Jeremy Lin is actually playing well at PG for The Hawks, his effective shooting % of 58 is among the best for PGs.

    That was a cheapshot donm but since I have profound respect for my elders I will let it pass but lets face it, a team of stars from the Lebron era would absolutely wipe the floor with a Jordan era Dream Team. Now again sir, which of the 5 of LeBron, Durant, Embid, A.D., or the Greek Freak would u dare put the little man on. Exactly if u were his coach u would have to bench the little guy. All 5 of them would use him like a Q-Tip. Jordan the G.O.A.T. I understand though. I believed in Santa Clause once. 😂😂😂😂😂

    Man, you really do think the world was invented in 2000.
    Magic, Bird, Olajuwon, Shaq, Malone, Malone, Stockton, West, Baylor, Wilt, Jabbar, Russell, Robertson, Barkley, Thomas, Dr J. Those and other ancient warriors would be dominant in any era.

    I agree all would be great no matter the era except for... Shaq.. Today's bigs would pull him away from the basket and he'd get fouled everytime he tried to score and as we all know FTs weren't his friend

    Shaq and Moses Malone would lose value in today's game, but both would still be forces.
    Bird and Jerry West might be even more valuable today.
