DrReality Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Are there any circumstances that Mourning would sign with us? He got his ring with Miami and I think played for minimum last. Curious if he'd be interested in signing with the Hawks for more? Your thoughts? He'd be great as a mentor for our young guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swolehawk2 Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 I thought he had agreed to return to Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted July 18, 2006 Moderators Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Quote: I thought he had agreed to return to Miami. He has. He is not interested in being a mentor - he just wants to be a role player on a contending team at this point in his career. There is 0% chance he will sign with us, IMO.

tmac13 Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 I think Lo Wright might be a vet big BK will try to get on the cheap..He is servicable and can play both interior spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seano Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Lo Wright could be a possibility, though I'm not sure how he'd feel about coming back. After that initial flurry of signings in the opening days, the free agent period has really slowed down. That's good, it means there will probably be some bargains out there- maybe even as good a bargain as ZaZa was for us last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholasp27 Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 how about magloire as a mentor for our young guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB21 Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Alonzo is going to end up dying on the basketball court secondary to his kidney condition if he keeps trying to push it. I don't want to see that happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to see that happen. Yeah KB...I'm no Doc but I do have reasonable common sense when it comes to pushing things too far. Hopefully Alonzo isn't in a bind $$-wise and will just ease off and retire. It'd be nice to see him be able to have a good long life after his playing years...

I can't help but wonder what AL and his agent are thinking right now? Hopefully the Hawks are keeping them in the loop and they're working together to finalize a s-n-t as we post. If things go bad on this it could further hurt the Hawks' reputation around the league among potential free agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmac13 Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Is there a real chance of him dying on the court?..I had assumed that team doctors and NBA lawyers would never allow him to play if there was any real chance of that because of the obvious moral and legal liability issues..

TexasPete Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 I would like Marcus Banks...he is cheap and is a great on ball defender, and is young. Why not sign him on the cheap before PHX does? Lue is getting older...I love Banks defense. This would be a FA signing with a lot of upside but little to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJlaysitup Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 I think I saw on realgm this am that the Banks-PHX deal was wrapping up. Doesn't mean it's done though until the paper is signed. Concerning AL: Is he basically unemployed right now? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Don't go riding any motorcycles AL...just stay in the house until a deal is done.

It's in the best interests of all parties to work together very closely on this, and in fact it can't happen any other way because they all need to be in complete agreement and sign-off on whatever trade is eventually reached.

Moderators macdaddy Posted July 18, 2006 Moderators Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Things are going great with Al from the Hawks perspective. The teams have to give us what we want or we can always resign him for a bargain and deal him later. Some think we got fleeced on the JJ deal but Phx had what we wanted so we had to give a lot. Al's not restricted but he might as well be at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB21 Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 It depends on how much he pushes it. If his kidneys start to fail, he can get azotemic, uremic, and have acid/base imbalances. If he lets that go on, it will kill him. The kidney could be considered the great mediator in the body. It filters the blood, keeps the acid/base balance correct, has an effect on blood pressure due to renin secretion and aldosterone receptors, maintains water balance, and maintains electrolyte balance. Any failure of the kidney that isn't reversible is life threatening. Even if he doesn't die on the court, I'd hate to see him in a position where he has to be on dialysis for the rest of his life.
