I don't see us a deep team at all, wether in real life or on paper. Young/Lin/Hamilton - Lin is a journey man injury waiting to happen, Trae is a rookie that can either hit or miss in his rookie season. Baze/Huerter/Dorsey/Carter - Baze is our 'Best player' some say - we're already behind the 8ball if that's true. Huerter will be spending lots of time time in the GL. How much tume will Carter actually see. Prince/Anderson/Bembry - this is the most interesting grouping if Bembry can stay healthy. Collins/Omari/Robinson/Poythress - only Collins from the group makes is really special, I like Spellman but can he play 82 games with all that baby fat? Plus rookie. Dedmon/Len/Plumlee - I like the Ded and Len mix if Len can be close to what made him a #5 pick.

Unfortunately I won't have the time.

Exactly, we all saw what happened when Baze was thrust into a role he should have never been in, trying to live up to contract in his first year...

Still doesn't make it so.

He's signed to an Exhinit 10 deal. Here's what that means....

Bazemore IS NOT the Hawks best player!

This is big.... So anti- Melo.

I have high expectations for him this season. I want to see him put it all together especially defensively. He has the tools.

Another TP article.

I guess my response wasn't so much related to the title topic, oh well.

Nope...

I'm as eager as anyone to see this team play, but you are supposing that pretty much every single player meets or exceeds expectations. If that happens we'd be a top 4 East team and I don't see that happening and I'd welcome all crow to eat if that happens. Too much youth and inexperience expected to see major minutes.

Hawks aren't making the Playoffs.

I don't understand the deal for either team. I guess Houston saves a little money off of Anderson's deal, but are they banking on an injured Knight and Lazy Chriss. Phoenix - still without a PG.

well done sir.

C'Mon CageyOne, we need GM to have a Really AWESOME birthday.

Happy Happy Birthday Granpa Gray.

Trae and Dre....I like it.

There's a reason he can't stick.

Lucky indeed. It was take what you get in my day.

Life - I had a 10 year old Birthday Party to plan this past Saturday. You know the world is ending if it doesn't go just right. She wanted to go to iFly, so she got to go to iFly. She wanted a pet bird, so she got a pet bird. That sucker lasted 5 hours. Woke Sunday morning to tears and hysterics, only the promise of two birds quelled the tears. All is well this morning with Max and Ivory. What a weekend!!!

TCB....ha!

We more than likely pick up his team option of $3.4 mil next summer. The following summer is when we'll have to pay him.

Hawks have Team option on Prince for the 2019-20 season for $3.4 mil. In 2020, Qualifying offer of $4.7 mil making him a RFA.
