How good would the Hawks be with Kevin Durant?

[russwest0]

Just asking because he's really been playing a lot of off ball this year, and seems to be a perfect fit with the rest of the team and they may be able to make a run at him for 2016.

Title favorites by a long shot

Durant in that Hawks system would be god like

[Milbuck]

Probably would depend on who they'd lose to acquire him..but overall it would be unfair. Teague-Korver-Durant-Millsap-Horford (if they can keep the other 4) in that system with coach Bud...unreal.

OP has given up. What a pathetic excuse for a human being.

I gave the Thunder how many years to fire Brooks?

If anything I should be PRAISED for watching and supporting a team ran by that jackass for so long.

The offense would be absurd. He's size and shooting ability would be insane in this system.

Glad to have you aboard the Hawks flight :cheers:

He would have to accept getting less shots.
And he would need to improve his passing and defense.

Kyle Korver had 5 points last night, but he doesn't complain.
Durant would have to accept some nights of 10-11 points.

[Richesly]

He would actually be the PERFECT fit. Durant is a VERY good off ball player, and would be OPEN so ****ing much because you can't double team KD when the other 4 players can shoot from every spot on the court.

How good of an on ball defender is he?
That's a huge part of our system.

He would be getting less shots, but he would so much more efficient and not have to iso for his points.

He really needs to consider Atlanta when his contract is up.

Durant is one of the best three point shooters and just overall shooters in the NBA. Add him into Bud's system, Bud will find a way to adjust whilst keeping the ball movement. Durant is not Lebron, he does not disrupt the ball movement.

worse, as Durant can't move the ball around and Carroll is twice the defender he is

Durant is a good defender, especially when it comes to help defense, which is what our defense is primarily about.

Now, he is not the hustler/defender DMC is, but he is 10x the offensive player DMC is, so it makes up for it.

Durant also fits with our length, he might actually be the longest guy on the team.

I disagree about Durant not being able to move the ball around. Granted, Carroll is a way better defender, Durant is not a ball stopper like most superstars are.

2nd round exit against Cavs.

Some guys can't accept getting less touches. It messes with their rhythm.

Kyle Korver can go 5 nights of less than 5 shots, but he will still be sharp.

It's hard for some guys to adjust when they played a certain way their whole career.

Dont need him.

2nd round exit against Cavs.

You are searching for a new NBA team, why not join the flight to the NBA title?

Durant is a similar scorer like Teague.

Like Teague, Durant scores in spurts, rather than through out the game. Also, Hawks only player with the capability of taking a game completely over is Teague. Durant would be the closer, and he would be fantastic in Bud's system.

Man, too bad it's only a dream.

Because the supposed flight will crash before destination. Thanks for the offer.

As you wish.

But remember, the Flight will not be accepting new members during playoff time.

No, that's not how it works. It seems like you were never really a Thunder fan.

Only because it would have already crashed.

Stop resisting. Come to the dark side.

Join the Flight instead of the fight.

Durant will be a Spur.
