  1. Happy to be in Greece.

    Atlanta dragged their feet.

    Wants to win a Euro championship.

    Atlanta turned down deals he thought were good.

    Tony and Mike can stay on his Greek island.

    Thanks for having him.

  2. How is that? Smith has proven to be one of the hardest workers in the NBA the past four seasons. We read at least 4 articles every off-season speaking about how hard a worker he is. He obviously cares about basketball with all the emotion he shows on the court. I remember JJ in the 06 off-season PREDICTED Smith would have a breakout year, that summer he was saying Smith's just been working so hard. Last summer in 07 he worked with two hall of famers in Houston.

    I have seen Josh quit on the floor when things don't go his way. I recall one game where he took a bad shot or something, Woodson pulled him, he sat on the bench and pouted. He then got back in and decided to just hang out at the three point line and do that stupid thing with his lips because he was upset. It has happened more than once. For every "hard work off the court" article, I watch a game that shows him being a whiny brat.

    I think Josh has a lot of potential to get paid and then take it easy. I hope I am wrong, but I have seen evidence against it.

    I'm not interested in what Sund or the ASG says. I want to see it in action. Show me don't tell me!

    Bingo. I don't trust ASG any further than I can throw them.

    Well, with your bad knee, Ed, you shouldn't be throwing anyone.

    Seriously...somebody must have got seriously wronged and put some powerful mojo on us. How many odd/bad luck scenarios can you list for the city of Atlanta?

    Bret Farve...

    Michael Vick...

    The ownership fiascos...

    The entirety of the Atlanta Braves...

    DerMarr Johnson...

    The Atlanta Flames...

    Dr. J...

    ...and many more!

    LoL, we're cursed man. Now add Chill and his history making deal to the list.

    As I said ealier . . . . . the next move by the ASG is gonna be very critical. No time to give Chill or Smoove some half-arse plan.

    Don't get your hopes up.

    I can tell you how it will go.

    We will renounce Chillz.

    We will offer Smoove 5 years 60 million.

    We will sign Luke Jackson and maybe Kwame.

    We will miss the playoffs

    We will sign Marvin to 5 years 70 Million and say "we got our man".

    And for the next 5 years, marvin will amass 60 three point attempts total... and he will hit 8 of them!

    You seriously need therapy.

    Mabey we can go after J.R. Smith to replace Childress...oh wait this is the ASG so they'll just sit back and do nothing.

    JR Smith is probably worth less than Childress. Smith is a head case.

    Yeah something is wrong with Smooth. It's spelled Smoove.

    Actually it is spelled "Smith".

    And yes, there is something wrong...attitude issues, heart issues (mental, not physical). Not worth the big money right now.

    Best scenario: He gets no offers and has to sign back with us for a more modest amount. He gets a chip on his shoulder and plays like a mad man.

    Worst scenario: We end up having to pay him big bucks to match a deal and he promptly mails in the next few years.

    Smith is a scary situation. That uneven bean on his shoulders makes him an absolute question mark.

    The Knicks, with an eye on being in the same position by 2010, would not accept contracts that go beyond that year in return for Randolph, who averaged 17.6 points and 10.3 rebounds last season. He was acquired from Portland by Isiah Thomas on draft night in 2007 for Steve Francis and Channing Frye.

    It is believed that Walsh was hoping to pry Eric Gordon, the seventh overall pick in the NBA draft, as part of the deal. That move seems unlikely, but it is expected that Walsh will talk again with the Clippers, who also are participating in the NBA Summer League here.

    The source said Walsh has been "very active" in trade discussions and is "looking at these types of transactions constantly.

    This makes a lot of sense to me. The Clippers need a veteran post scorer, not a 22 y.o. player who *might* become a post scorer.

    I can see L.A. offering Tim Thomas for Randolph, and that being rejected. And then I can see the Knicks countering with Eric Gordon, and that being rejected. That leaves A LOT of middle ground, though.

    I would expect the Clippers will look at Odom, Marion, and Wallace, too.

    If Randolph goes to the Clipps, he will be an allstar. Possible an MVP candidate.

    Snach Randolph? Lazy, uninspired, fat Randolph? Please pass the kind bud because I want a hit of it. He is a newer version of Derrick Coleman...that's not a compliment.

    (Here`s a bball hint by the way -- 7-foot Chinese dudes who cant defend athletic black dudes CANT SUCCEED IN THE NBA. That is why Yi will never be `unstoppable...

    Yao much?

    W ]

    That has nothing to do with racism. Anybody who cant defend ATHELTIC NBA players is a liability in the NBA. And Yao was (and is) often a LIABILITY to Houston for that very reason.

    Hmm? Not racism? Why use "chinese" and "black" if you meant "unathletic" and "athletic" (even though Yi is very athletic, just not adjusted to the NBA physicality)? Hard to see past the racism.

    W

    LOL. Im mixed (white and black). My best friend is Chinese and my girlfriend is Japanese. Don't talk to me about racism. Honestly, I dont see why you spend so much time trying to misconstrue people's posts to "pwn" them. Is it really that satisfying? I come here to talk Hawks. You come here to win arguments (and occasionally obsess about Marvin William's personal life that you KNOW absolutely nothing about).
