Hawks are accumulating some interesting assets. Next two years will be big to position them as a destination, a la Brooklyn this year, when there's another flood of big names. Young, Huerter, Collins, and Hunter is the best young core in the East.
This year they should take a step forward and be around the 8th seed all season.
Tier 1:
(1)Toronto,(2) Milwaukee, (3) Philly
Tier 2:
(4) Boston, (5)Indiana,
Tier 3:
(6) Brooklyn, (7) Miami
Tier 4:
Orland/Detroit/ATL
Magic and Pistons can be beat.
Tier 5:
DC, NYK, CLE, CHI, CHA
The Hawks did a lot to address their awful defense in this year's draft. The 3 players chosen also add excellent 3 pt set shot potential with Hunter and maybe Reddish, solid rebounding from Fernando and good positional rebounding from Hunter, Reddish is a mystery to me. All 3 have athleticism and potential to become pretty versatile offensively. I think The Hawks are a season away from being a playoff team.
Cousins has had a serious Achilles injury that might or might not be a long term issue. He also has a torn quadricep. I think it's too early in the team's development to sign older free agents anyway. We'll have a better idea what is needed in the next couple of years.
I think Cousins is gonna take another one year prove it deal for a contender better suited to his strengths. This year was about shifting perception that he's a team killer, next year will be about proving he can be a legit second or or third option. If he can get back to a 20+PPG guy then I think he gets the long term deal. I wouldn't mind seeing him in ATL. I think the Hawks time is coming soon to make a splash.
I said scrub, not shrub.
Kawhi to The Clippers. I'm not one to say I told you so, but read the 3rd post in this thread...😎
