No way we do this deal to put Noel on the bench. Milsap or Horford is gone.

Every single mock draft I look at has us drafting someone different. Do we go best available player other than pg? I am not expecting us to make any major moves because it makes too much sense. We will probably trade down or draft a foreign player to develop overseas. like this team has the luxury to do something like that.

The Sixers are looking to trade either Okafor or Noel or both. We need to try and get in on that some kind of way.

That's the truth. it hurts but its the truth.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2642010-how-much-money-does-your-nba-team-have-to-spend-in-2016-free-agency/page/3 This is going to be a very interesting summer in Hawks land!!

In addition to Al Horford, I see a lot of questionable players demanding/wanting max contracts. You have Harrison Barnes, Dwight Howard, Hassan Whiteside, and Bradley Beal in addition to others. My question is what do you all consider to be a max player. In my opinion there are only a few max players in the NBA--Lebron, Curry, Leonard, Anthony Davis,Dwayne Wade, and Draymond Green. This is based on total value that they bring to the table and their stats. They also make their teammates better instead of just getting theirs (Carmelo Anthony). here are some areas I think should be considered; 1.Age 2. Has potential/peak been met? How much better can he get? 3. Is he a 2 way player? 4. Does he make his teammates better? 5. Can he impact the game without shooting the ball? 6. What will the player need along side him to be great? 7. Behavior, attitude, mentality, and how they carry themselves (reasons why Cousins is not what I consider a max player) At the rate things are going you are going to have max contact guys that have never even sniffed an allstar game or max players who aren't even the best player on their own team. Having said that I don't think that Horford isn't a max contract player. His rebounding and shot blocking aren't good enough to offset his scoring average. What are your criteria for a max player?

They have Lebron James and 3 other top five lottery picks in their starting lineup.

My thoughts exactly. Milsap is not a SF.

What kind of value does a combination of Teague/Milsap have? We could trade both. Milsap's trade value is surely high right now. What about Teague/Milsap to Sacremento for Mclemore/Cauley Stein and their lottery pick? That combination would surely may some lottery team a playoff contender for sure. I am sure that Philadelphia would bite for sure. Okafor?? Forget Dwight Howard. I am thinking that he will sign with the Spurs.

We need proven talent at this point. None of these rookies that may not pan out and end up in Bud's doghouse.

He stated that there were moves that could have been made at the deadline but Bud nixed them.

Bazemore>>Barnes

Don't matter who is out there as long as you are going to give a team wide open 3 pointers.

What will not resigning him say about our organization if for the 2nd offseason in a row we let a breakout player walk? Baze seems like a likeable dude and if we don't pay him we might develop a negative rep among free-agents. We all know why we couldn't sign DC but fact is he walked.

Dennis was tired as hell. He couldn't even catch his breath..

IF he wants too much maybe we can do a sign and trade with Chicago for Jimmy Butler. Word is that he is/will be on the block.

He went for the tie because he was scared as hell of Boston getting the ball back. Korver was getting exposed on defense by having to cover the more athletic Marcus Smart. They killed us with the drive and dish several times. We lost this game on multiple levels. No one on Boston is worth double teaming but we got caught with our pants down too many times. Korver should not be in the game when you are protecting a big lead. He should have went with a more defensive lineup. This was on Bud.

Damn I was thinking the same thing. Lebron was getting away with murder. I was like there is no way the hawks beat this team with the refs favoring the Cavs.

Have you all notices that Dennis doesn't seem to have enough lift on his shot? His form appears to be good but its like he doesn't have enough strength. It nearly always hits the front of the rim or is an airball.

I agree with the buy and flip idea. I wish I could buy a house get free money to renovate it then flip it while keeping all the money for myself. He is slowly building up the value with the hawks. Kind of funny the other night he was sitting in a regular seat in the arena and not in the luxury suite. No one knew who he was and he didn't have an entourage with him. He was actually by himself.

You have to play smoothering defense for 48 minutes. I agree with Benhillboy but what would hurt us is lack of firepower. Its always that lack of firepower that hurts us. Boston always gives them trouble.

Is Casey a better coach than Bud? Derozan is a good player but he looks like Jordan every time we play them!! What is going on and how do we fix it? It seems that we have a better chance of beating the Cavs or the Warriors than the Raptors LOL!!

He is probably going number one in the prison draft. The Prison Shanks currently have the worst record but the Soap Droppers just lost their best player to parole. According to my sources, the Aryan Brotherhood are willing to trade out of the top 5 due no good white players entering the draft. The Gangsta Disciples are willing to trade their pick for 2 cartons of smokes and a cellphone but I was told that the pick could had for as little as one prison bitch. I will keep you all posted.....................
