Hawes Trade- For Refernce

[fishonjazz]

Hawes shoots 45%. He often disappears statistically. In the previous 5 games, he had 15 pts and 16 pts against the Lakers (no center) and Jazz (Favors played 6 mins). His other three games? 0 against Clippers, 6 against GS, 2 against Cleveland. He's only a starter because he plays on such a terrible team. He'll be a backup wherever else he plays.

Still..... 2nd round picks bro

Pretty hard to get motivated when you play on the Sixers, who run the fastest paced offense and regularly jack up 3's with 18 seconds on the shot clock.

But this is a "career year" for him. I'd take Kanter over Hawes as the backup 5.

For the future maybe. For this year, it's not even close, Hawes.

Amazing what teams can get for salary dumps. We got two 1st's and a couple of seconds for helping GS dump salary. Two seconds is very good for a 1/2 yr rental as Hawes is a FA. Still, how many 2nd round picks even make a roster and/or stick for multiple years? It is a good strategy by Philly: acquire every 2nd round pick in the league and perhaps get a couple of rotation players out of it.

Kanter shooting better (50% vs. 45%). Rebounds almost the same (Kanter 2 fewer in 6 less mins/per). Hawes 7 years in the league; stats have peaked. Kanter 3 years in league, stats still going up (despite his struggles). Hawes $6.5M; Kanter $4.5M.

If Philly finds a way to dump Turner too, they could catch the Bucks.

Holy ISH. I just remembered, THE SIXERS HAVE ARNETT MOULTRIE. This isn't a tank move, it's opening up time FOR THE PRIDE OF MISSISSIPPI STATE. GO MOULTRIE!!!

I guess after watching Blatche dominate Kanter off of simple cuts to the basket just make me not impressed with his "defense".

Jazz have won 1 game when Kanter starts. Sixers have won more when Hawes starts.

Plus Hawes knows how to play basketball. It's amazing to me how frequently Enes gets in someone's way on offense or is slow to rotate/misses an assignment on D.

Hawes simply has better BBIQ than Kanter. It really isn't close, either. Hopefully Kanter improves in this year.

I have been watching Hawes like for years.
He still is not half the player he can easily be, at least that is my impression having watched him as a collegiate freshman.
He has great mobility despite his lankier-back-then frame.
Still, Kanter is the way better player in my not-so-biased and not-so-humble-at-all opinion.
(better range, good fundamentals, esprit de combat, good physique, younger)
Just allow him to play in a meaningful bball setting, which Jazz are certainly not.
