I'd LOVE to get Hawes on the Roster. Been a fan of his since Sac-town.
Would be a great compliment to both Big spots, and he is VERY big.
I'm all over this deal if it happens.

Can someone summarize hawes for me? His strengths, his weaknesses, other things we should know?
I know every basketball player in the NBA, but there are a few of which I simply have no further details about other than their names and positions.
He's a BIG body, (7'1", 2450lbs, looks way heavier though) who can shoot a mid-range pretty decent (45% out to 16ft). Thinks he's a better range shooter than he actually is though, as evidenced by the fact that 30% of his shots come from 16-30ft; needs a good coach to get him to bring his game closer.Quote:

Good rebounder (9.1rp36 for his career). Decent rim defender (1.9bp36).

Spencer Hawes is not a good basketball player. This is fairly obvious. He's soft. He's a terrible defender. Opposing big men eat him up for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and sometimes even fourthmeal (for those NBA players who like Taco Bell). He doesn't set screens well, which only inhibits the Sixers' guard play. He doesn't defend the pick and roll well either since he's just too slow to recover. He doesn't pull down tough, contested rebounds. You already know all of these things because you've watched him play. Simply put, it's infuriating. I hate watching him play, and I'm sure you do too.

1 year of Hawes is better than 2 years of Boozer or Bargnani
Any chance we can get the 76'ers second round pick?! they got two of those.
His Ft % is horrible.
Hawes would make Aaron Gray redundant and we pay him 2.5 mill this year, 2.7 the next.
We need a 3-pt assassin like korver or novak. Someone to spread the court with the same effect as barbags was.
Hawes and D.Wright are great, beats Boozer and Robinson (the latter i don't want to see in Raptors uniform), although it would be fun to watch Robinson, DeRozan, and Ross go on a dunkathon against other teams. Hawes can stretch the floor better than Gray besides he can really provide Jonas with some help at D. Dorrel Wright, well i don't know if the Sixers would want T.Young or not, it would be good to have the latter but i seriously doubt it. D.Wright was a starter material when he played for the Warriors, he's a perfect backup SF/SG behind Gay and DeRozan until Ross improves beside his contract expires after this season. The question is will the Sixers take either Fields or Kleiza.
The whole point is Hawes contract expires next season while Bargnani expires at the end of 2015. Thus you are saving about 15 million dollars over 2 years when taking this deal. That might be enough to sign someone good, maybe Milsap in the summer and then flipping Hawes for something else since his contract is smaller and manageble.Quote:

This would be a great deal, short contract that helps us get better in the mean time. I don't think him and Gray are redundant either. If we play a team that goes small, those two together would punish the opposition and Hawes would keep our floor spacing nice and open. I'd take it.
I don't agree with Spencer Hawes political views. I don't want him anywhere near our tearm
You asked a question and I gave you an answer. What was it about big boy pants?Quote:

I have no doubt Turner could be in play. But I can guarantee you after letting AI go for Turner to develop they are not going to turn around and trade him and a useful big for Bargnani and AA.
Hawes might actually have value in a sign and trade because that is the only way the Raptors are getting Millsap - and Bargnani the piece going out in any potential sign and trade is not going to cut it.Quote:

Sign and trade chip in July?
This is part of the reason I'm against the Boozer trade....and for a trade that brings back smaller contracts with decent value. Never know what could be a valuable trade chip in the summer to possibly address things in a much better way...pretty doubtful Boozer has any trade value again until at least his expiring year...Quote:

But if Toronto can get a 1st round pick from Chicago, I do Boozer in a heart beat.
Toronto might be in a situation where they have two 15-18 draft picks. Those could be some trade assets on draft night.
Considering Toronto are 17-13 in last 30 games (12-11 without Gay), I think going 19-10 over the final 29 is realistic. I know people don't like Boozer but he is the leading scorer and rebounder per36 on the 5th seed in the east who are missing their franchise PG.
Also, Robinson is a big upgrade at backup PG. Lucas is score first, like Robinson, but Robinson can play D and create for others.
Mathematically, is it possible to re-sign Lowry with Boozer in tow. I mean, it's possible but we're a tax team right?Quote:

They have Bird rights. It is possible depending on how much Toronto ownership is willing to spend.Quote:

Turner/Hawes for Bargs/AA would be the best thing to happen ever. Salaries work out, have no clue what would make Philly pull it, but if this is the trade BC has under his sleeves, I will be the happiest little girl.
