Should we have been in on Roquan?

Maybe I’m off base but after seeing the compensation, I would have been glad to send Chicago a 2nd rounder and a fifth for Roquan to have stud linebacker .  I see they also included former panther AJ Klein.  Hell we could have thrown in Shaq to maybe cancel out the 5th rounder as an upgrade over Klein. Thoughts huddle?

The biggest problem is you'd be getting him as a 1 year rental in a clearly lost season. Chicago didn't extend him cause he wanted a massive contract. You really want to give up significant draft capital for an inside linebacker you have to pay a fortune to extend? No way.

was hoping we could sign him in the upcoming offseason after his current contract is up that way we don't have to lose a draft pick. this defense is a stud linebacker and second pass rusher away from being a top 10 maybe top 5 defense

That sounds good at face value but smart teams don't tend to spend a ton on coverage linebackers. We could probably get a highly ranked rookie linebacker with one of our 2 2nd round picks if we really wanted to invest in it and we'd be getting them at 4 years and $9 million rather than the 4 years and $80 million Roquan is probably looking for.

Tough question. He is the top MLB in the league right now and he his play on the field supports him being paid that way. The value of a top notch MLB is the real question. I do miss the days of Luke, Beason, and Morgan, LB is a position of need for us too. I just don't think we can afford his contract, but I do think he is worth a 2nd and 5th round pick.

Coverage linebacker? Dude leads the league in tackles.

We're 2- 6 come the fug on... no one player we could trade for now would be worth the draft capital you'd have to give up.

Fiterrer and/or Rhule already made that mistake multiple times with Gilmore Henderson and Shenault hasn't contributed much either outside of 1 game. 

You're just shooting yourself in the foot repeatedly if you're consistently trading away picks on a team that's mediocre at very best (honestly we haven't even been good enough for that past several seasons) and horrendous at worse.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
