• Harrahs Casino club seats

  I just purchased seats in this section for UFC fight night. Will Harrahs club still be all inclusive for this event? Does anyone know if it’s only exclusive for Hawks games? Surely it’s still inclusive

• Roster construction

  Let me preface by saying my two most hated teams to watch are the Pacers and Knicks. I freaking hate watching them play and even more so having success. I still feel like our PG is better than theirs and I’ll never not think that.

  However, those teams have such good roster construction around their PGs that makes me so upset the Hawks aren’t setup like them. If Hawks had any one of Nesmith, Nembhard, or Mathurin it would seriously improve the roster. But to have all 3 on one team? All can handle the ball, pass, shoot and play defense. Take over when their PG is hurt or just on the bench (usually acting like a front running B)

  For the Knicks, Kat is so freaking good with a PG that can do pick and roll and we have the best in the league. I think they over paid for Bridges but when paired with OG it’s such a great wing duo. And I’ve always wanted Hart on the Hawks. So many hustle plays, so many offensive rebounds that lead to what feels like a 100% 3 point shot.

  I do like the Hawks young core more than others (Dyson, Zacc,JJ and OO) and believe they can be something special if it all falls right. Just so frustrating watching playoffs seeing these teams do what I want/hope the Hawks were doing, shocking the world.

• Jaylen Brown?

  With all the new 2nd apron rules, the Celtics management has vocalized that it will be doing some major retooling this offseason. I think this now brings a possible Brown-Atlanta re-union back on the table, especially since Ressler has made it evident he wants some significant roster changes in the short-term. Thoughts? submitted by /u/Both_Funny4896 [link] [comments]

• NAW is the answer

  Good shooter, great defender, can handle the ball a little bit - and the Timberwolves will have a cap crunch if and when Naz Reid declines his option for a bigger pay day. With a bit of luck, we should be able to get Nickeil Alexander-Walker for the 14.1 million NTMLE, which if I'm correct is more than what Minnesota could offer him with only his Early Bird Rights. Some on r/timberwolves are already talking like he's a goner. I think he could help us take a huge leap! Tell me I'm wrong.

• What are you genuine thoughts on Bufkin and his future here?

  I think he’s the most intriguing player on our roster because we have barely seen any of him but we have some on one side of the fence who are still behind him and others who don’t really see him having a future with us.

  What do you guys think? Do you reckon with a full preseason (hopefully) he can still possibly crack into the rotation, or maybe when he has played he hasn’t quite shown enough?

  If he has another injury setback would you say his time with the hawks would be close to done? Or if a potential trade opens up for a depth player (backup 5 or guard) would you be open to moving off him?

  I’m not sure how much of a prospect you can say he is anymore, yes he’s been injured but even when he has played i’m not sure he’s showed enough, particularly offensively.
