This is a weird move because I cannot tell if this is us going into tank mode OR some deranged move that the front office actually believes we just got better?

I guess it is the later because it doesn't help us Cap-wise.. he has 4 years remaining and Hibbert was on a 1 yr "Show Me" deal.. and Hawes was 2 yrs away from being gone.. I guess they figured Hibbert was damaged goods and couldn't put 2 games together..

Plumlee did have some pretty good years in Phoenix, but has been a complete ZERO with the Bucks.. maybe they are thinking he can revitalize his career here..

all i know is if this is it - our front office better start packing their bags come the end of the season..

How is getting rid of Roy Hibbert and Spencer Hawes going into tank mode, exactly?

i don't think it is.. i said it was probably the later thought that our FO thinks this is a good move - but i don't see this as us getting better.. I'm in a wait-and-see (sulk) mode

This trade seems like a bandaid move to me at first glance. Clearly Roy and Spencer don't fit us or really provide any positive impact to our roster. They definitely cannot adequately fill in for Zeller while he's out.

Miles Plumlee is athletic if anything and can rebound the ball with the best of them. Important traits. Not sure how he is with pick and roll offense though so I'll be interested to see that.

This move does leave us with 2 open roster spots so my guess is that this move is purely to set up another move that's forthcoming. We did need to do something as this team is reeling and the deadline is still 3 weeks out.

I'm not a fan of owing Miles $12.5 per over the next 3.5 seasons though.

      Rasheed Walker for Kris Jenkins Jr.

      well i could go on & on but i will just highlight it by saying big difference trust me from the SEC & NFL.it's honestly like comparing apples & oranges especially when you are talking about a  LT. in the NFL you are going up against the most athletic freaks of nature the world has to offer . .the NFL also has much more exotic & complicated defensive schemes than what they are used to seeing at Georgis &  finally but most importantly you have to learn how to master complex bio mechanics where the body kick steps instantly as a reaction to these world class athletes rush without really making a conscious effort it's more of a learned muscle memory  & it can take thousands upon thousands of reps to master rproper technique for a LT in the NFL especially if you are still very raw like Monroe Freeling is    ...just saying

      All that being the case or maybe being the case, we do not know Wharton’s timetable n the first place. They are being coy about it. Or maybe not. They say week to week the board says he is terminal lol and must be replaced. Who knows? It may or may not warrant a fairly drastic solution.  Walker is a bargain and we are not well stocked at OL despite recent investments. Freeling has yet to have a single padded practice. Too much speculation driving this plan IMO.

      I would really love to know who’s actually making these moves because it’s weirdly vague who’s doing the hiring and firing.
