Spencer Hawes

Staunch conservative Spencer Hawes has been getting some DNPs in the playoffs and is obviously not working in Doc's system. I'm sure the Clips would love to trade his remaining 3 years and $15m+. He is a career 35% 3pt shooter and had a miracle run in Cleveland shooting 45%. As a stretch 4/5 and at 7'1", he could be a solid back-up for Gobert and Favors, and Coach Q might be able to integrate him into the offense better. The Jazz should have the financial space to trade for him, especially if they could net some cash and a pick in the process. Or, since Clips have no picks this year, maybe Utah trades the #54 for Hawes?
 
I actually really like that idea! He would be ideal and he's not getting any burn with the Clippers. I seriously think that they would give him up for that 54th pick.
 
7ft, shoots 3s, great passer... Solid fit next to favors/Gobert/Booker plus his contract is so reasonable!! Jazz would still have enough cap space to make a decent signing

Sign that Euro PG and call it an offseason.

Araujo, Elson, the corpse of Fesenko (I assume he's died of lung cancer by now)?

To those wanting Hawes, have you seen him play? He makes Enes Kanter look like Draymond Green defensively. Spencer can't stop ANYONE in the league.
 
I love his 3 point shooting his last year in philly and half year with the Cavs! Also an under rated passer!
 
I don't know enough about why he can't seem to get off the bench. But the idea certainly intrigues me.

But if he's a disruption or a sack of **** then no thanks.
 
His expected career path was essentially the same as Kaminsky's expected career path is now. So I like the stylistic fit. Quin would have to somehow work his magic to rejuvenate him, however.

I don't think he's coming as easily as the OP suggests. Barring an unforseen trade or a draft of Robert Upshaw (and that's hard to do without a current draft pick), the Clips need him. Who else can come in with any size behind Jordan? I don't think they'll be able to chase much of a FA replacement since they'll need to break the bank for DeAndre.

You just making **** up or just dumb?

He didn't even shoot 3's in colllege when he came out. He was compared to Andrew Bogut. Y
 
I don't think Hawes can provide much rim protection. Have a mobile stretch 4 to play along side a shot blocker is different than a stretch 5 who is a major weakness at the center of our defensive game plan.

You're right. I was wrong. It would have been more correct to say that his career path has led him to the type playing style/results that's easy to imagine as one of the possible outcomes for Kaminsky's career.

Who would be a mobile stretch four that we could get? And who plays C when neither Gobert nor Favors are on the floor? I'm not certain we need to worry about rim protection -- we've got two of those -- as much as we need to worry about diversifying our offensive options in the front court. I'd imagine Hawes would be a rather realistic and positive option to fill our gaping hole off the bench.

****ing THANK YOU. I love how people just think you can easily find stretch bigs that also defend. 3/D bigs are basically a fantasy. And those that do exist or that may be found will likely demand mad contracts on the market because of how much they facilitate basketball on both sides of the floor. The list as far as I can tell is: Draymond Green, Serge Ibaka, aaand...?
