Atlanta shopping Bazemore

Solo and Ajinca?

If they throw in pick 34 for 51 then maybe.
I don't think we improve with an undersized Bazemore who will be 29.

I thought he was taller. Scratch that idea haha

The Baze God has a 7 foot wingspan. He can guard the 2 or 3 like Jrue.

Baze has enough size to play the 3 effectively. As R Pelly stated he has a nice wingspan. He is 6'5" the same size as Vince Carter who always played the 3 position. I think he would be a upgrade to Moore at the 3.

For reference, I traced back the origin of this rumor to this SI reporter's tweet:

The Hawks have also been motivated to move Kent Bazemore dating back to last summer, league sources say. Atlanta is currently considered the most active team on the explorative draft trade market. https://t.co/RmEcpQCniP

He has enough length to play SF with his wingspan like ya'll said, but he lacks the strength/weight to play there full-time. Jrue Holiday probably weighs more than him. I do think he'd be a nice fit here with his athletic 3&D game. If the trade was based around Hill + Ajinca, I would be happy about it. But I don't see Pels doing it just to pay Baze 6mil more than Hill next season for a slight upgrade. Would be nice to focus on getting a good true starting SF, and Hill and Ajinca's contracts may be needed for that later.
