Ask away after a busy offseason.

This a long term rebuild or will you look to land a top prospect and flip the rest of your draft capital?

Which trade this offseason do you believe you got the best value for?

Good question. I dont have the answer on this one just yet. My plan is to stay patient but if it takes too long i might just trade all my chips.

Hmmm personally i'm happy with all my trades. I just hope one of those many picks turns into a lotto.
If i have to pick one i liked the Mavs trade most. Got E Jones and a 1 st for Maluach and Dash.

You added a ton of firsts. Which pick are you most excited about. Also what player that you traded surprised you the most with their value or lack of value

What surprised me most was the hesitance of some managers to add great players wanting to wait on all days of FA and sometimes even on Tc
Some of those teams missed out big time. I had most pm s for JA while I saw Wagner as my most valuable asset and it was not even close.

The pick I am most excited about is the is the Hornets 35 1st. I like gambling on those far away picks when rosters will be 90% different

There were rumblings out of Atlanta last season that the management group was frustrated with the lack of involvement in trades. You seem to have remedied that with a medley of big moves lately. What was the key to turning things around?

Timing
Almost everyone with cap wanted to wait till after  5 days of Fa. For some players i had 3 or 4 offers goiing on all including exp and a 1 st. I told them 1 st to post had the deal.
Some teams really in need missed out in fa and in trade this way.

How did you get bundy to agree to send you Eddie Jones AND a pick for a couple of mediocre players?

I checked in for Jones. Reply was Wagner or Maluach. I aske if there were other players he liked in return for one of the 1 sts and that was Dash Daniels. Not sure that last part was a bad move on his part. Dadh can backup pg and was 6th man lf the season for a reason. Depending ln where that pock ends i dont think that was bad value.

Team is pretty bare (prospect wise) minus Eddie. What position are you hoping to focus on in the upcoming draft?

The best one avaible. I can use every position except sg but I wouldn't hesitate to draft one when he is the best one there.

Why do you think the Ja/ DJ led version of the Hawks fell short of true contention and what are you planning to do different building this team?

Pretty obvious the lack of defense
You could cope with 1 bad defender but had too many C or C+ defs
Tried to outscore opponants though and it was fun while it lasted 😁
