4) Hamonic not signed will likely be getting a 2x2 for very close to the same role as Tanev.

How does Hamonic compare to Tanev in the fancy stats? Is he thhat much of an upgrade?

Nope....term wasnt there.
And are you really saying Tanev doesnt play a hard physical game?
Seriously?
Like....you could not be more incorrect with that "assessment".
Will he regress moving forward? Probably to some degree but he is a guy that brings it every game and will continue to do so until he cant any longer. There is literally nothing to suggest that time is now however.
