Not sure what to think of him. He's regressed this year on both sides of the ball. Physically he looks like a monster but he only gathers a half rebound more than JJ per36. Advanced stats have him as one of the worst defenders on the Hawks. I wouldn't give up anything of real value for him. I don't know what the odds are but I don't think they're good for a player to break out who had improved quite a bit their 2nd year and then completely regressed again their 3rd year. He's been dinged up a bit this year so that could account for it but it would be a risk for sure.
So at least 1 60 win season incoming?DeMarre Caroll Part II
I would absolutely do that. I liked what I saw yesterday. He has the right body type, seems to have some game off the dribble, and can shoot it. Get it done!Not sure why the defensive metrics show poorly for Prince. He's been known as a good defender. He can hit the 3 too. He's a good all-around player and still really young.
I would offer WCS for him straight up. Maybe mix and match some other pieces in the deal to acquire Lin in the process if possible.
Hawks could have insane high-flying frontcourt athleticism in Collins and Willie, with Trae dishing lobs left and right.
We fill our gaping hole at SF.

Yea I don't care about Lin whatsoever. He wouldn't be a part of our future. I still like Prince though.
Prince is still working his way back from a severe high ankle sprain I believe.
go after Oubre in free agency, Suns have lots of forwards in Jackson, Bridges & Warren....Oubre can be bought for the right price
If the Suns have a lot of forwards makes me think they'll part with one of them. Even if you strike out on Oubre, they have to consider one of them expendable, no?

There commentary have been raving about him defense this season that and his 3 point shooting have improved an amazing amount, the only time he struggles on D is at PF against physical post players. Warren @12mil per season is as good value as your going to get for a non rookie contract player as a starting level player I would offer them packages of Bogi/WCS/Filler for Warren hes a beast and playing in a uptempo team like ours where he doesn't have to deal with Devin Booker awful shot selection and hogging would only help.They traded Ariza for Oubre so I would bet they are trying to hang onto him, no? He seems to have blossomed with PHX, I really like him.
Wasn't he at one point one of the top prospects in the nation?
As for PHX and their forward situation, there's a lot of talk about moving TJ Warren. He's a scoring SF/PF (which would actually be perfect off the bench if WCS gets moved). Apparently his D is pretty ugly though.
Phoenix fans talk about Warren being a defensive liability a lot..so not sure how I feel about that. I like him, but I get a sense that he might be one of those players who put up empty stats on a losing team.There commentary have been raving about him defense this season that and his 3 point shooting have improved an amazing amount, the only time he struggles on D is at PF against physical post players.

He was in the past but not from what I have seen prior to his latest injury, the man is a walking bucket and can score every single way possible and the fact he's improved his 3pt % by like 20% show's he's willing to adapt. Your not getting a quality SF like him for under 12 mil imo.Phoenix fans talk about Warren being a defensive liability a lot..so not sure how I feel about that.

• Portland stands a potential buyer -- an under-the-radar really good team with questions about its postseason viability. The Trail Blazers have put their first-round pick in play, per sources around the league. They have investigated Porter's availability. Taurean Prince makes some sense; he's up for an extension this summer, and the Hawks have made him available, sources say. As a free agent non-destination, the Blazers value players whose rights they can control.
But the Hawks are asking a lot so far -- a young player and a pick -- and haven't gotten much traction on Prince trades, sources say.
WCS is young! and we have several 2nds!
