I would take Conley above Nash and Rondo. Especially if I started a team from scratch. You don't have to agree. I prefer Conley. Less weaknesses than Nash and Rondo. That intrigues me.

Hey, in name Nash and Rondo>Conley but Conley is a GREAT PG. But any woo, we need a real PG.

This might be the worse NBA franchise in the history of the NBA. Never has a franchise been so stupid.

Sorry, this is just silly venting.  I understand the frustration but..."no."  

The LAC Clippers have been around since 1984 and have twice advanced to the second round of the playoffs.  The all-time LAC winning % is 35.7%.  They have made the playoffs a total of 5 times.  Don't compare the Atlanta Hawks to the Clippers (who are the all-time worst franchise and who have peaked this season with a second round playoff sweep as their arguably best ever team).

The Hawks have a dandy win percentage but the last time we had a shot was when we were in St. Louis.

LAC is a terrible terrible franchise but looking at them now, they have two All Star starters, one of which is a future HOF and a top 5 PG in the NBA who is also elite. When was the last time we had an All Star starter and no one growing up wanted to be Deke. No one, it was almost like saying you suck.

Ha, not trying to troll here but just wanted to say that Deke is my favorite player to ever play in the NBA.  I got a Deke jersey when I was 13 and still wear sometimes even though it's an extremely tight squeeze.  I wanted to be Deke growing up so much that I'd lower the basketball goal in our driveway so I could block my little brothers' shots every time even if it was goal tending so I could do the finger wag in their face.  I mean check out my user name for goodness sake!

Where I am from, all the kids wanted to be MJ, Peyton, Kemp if they were athletic enough, Kobe, Pippen, or Francis. No one wanted to be Deke, they thought he was goofy, clumsy and didn't respect his game. Of course I did but when you were compared to him, it was for jokes.
