Hawks want Quin

[Handlogten's Heros]

Man, I would give all of my remaining gonads to have a job that paid me millions to stay home for a year.

It’d be the Summer of George but on Methroids for me.

Can I talk to you about selling essential oils from home? Just a small start up fee and if you get your family and friends involved, they will be millionaires, too.

If the hawks aren't willing to give up their 23 1st or the kings pick for Snyder then a pick swap could make sense. Give the jazz the right to swap any of their 23 1sts for the hawks 1st this year. Ainge has traded a coach before for a 1st rd pick so he at least has experience with this.

Its been a while since a coach was "traded" but I think its usually a weird simultaneous transaction. Like we release his contract or they assume his contract and then we trade the draft rights to some terrible player we have for a second round pick... I think the trade deadline being over does apply because when you are doing trades you have to trade something... and a coach isn't necessarily something we can trade in a traditional sense.

If we get anything it will be financial considerations and maybe a wink and a nod to do another minor deal in the offseason. It would be tricky but I don't see us having any leverage that we would realistically exercise.

Are you saying that the Jazz letting Quin go to Atlanta might be a........ down payment?

The Jazz will get no compensation other than not having to pay Quin's contract.

I think Quin will be good for them, but I'm interested in seeing how he manages the personalities on that roster. Quin was loved by his players, even players on opposites sides of the locker room. Mitchell defended Quin to the end and so did Rudy....but even with approval from both that obviously did not mean he was able to bridge the gap between the players. I think Quin is loved by his players because he will always defend them and he also never gives them pushback.

I actually think we have quite a bit of leverage. I think hawks management still have very high expectations for this year despite underachieving so far. Doing a deal now also keeps Quin from hitting what could be a competitive coaching market this offseason. I'm confident Ainge would 100% use that leverage if he was the only decision maker but I won't be surprised if Ryan Smith want to play the nice guy.

Down payment is strong here. This is more a favor they owe someday... and maybe we never actually cash it in. More like someone saying "if you're ever in the neighborhood stop by and lunch is on me" type of thing. We may never be in the neighborhood.

Also down payment theory was fulfilled.

They must like having 0 adjustments and enjoy watching the opposing coaches try things while Snyder continues to bang the same plan into the wall. Sounds like a great opportunity to get players for cheap next year

Snyder had such a strange tenure here. He started so creative and seemed to have a player development focus but by the end it just felt like he became complacent and lost a little passion. There are clearly 2 versions of Snyder and I would expect him to be refreshed and do a really good job for the hawks for at least the first couple years.

Will it go well with the toothpaste and the jeggings I am selling now?
