Premium Member Diesel Posted August 14, 2006 Premium Member Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 If this Al trade goes through, and we go into next offseason with significant cap space, which player would you like to see us persue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdunkndunk Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I'm not sure who we should pursue, but if you're talking about fantasy land I'd love to get Dwight Howard, and of course KG or Chauncy Billups would be nice. But Chris Kaman might be the most realistic option that would also really help the Hawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezmund Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Chris Kaman is an OPTION but unlikely unless you want to severely overpay. He's definitely a good quality Center but you'd have to give him $10M+ to have a chance. My question is, would have hurt our ability to resign Marvin, Josh or Josh?

Nicholasp27 Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 u missed hinrich getting him is more realistic than getting howard/kg/etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bird_dirt Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 hinrich wouldn't be bad at all. i can't even believe rasheed is on that list. when the hawks presented him with his very own keepsake wallace jersey in detroit after he got traded, he turned it into a comedy routine, dancing around the locker room making billy and company look like fools. no way he comes back here EVER. but seriously though, are there any decent sf players available next summer?

DrReality Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 You can't confuse fantasy league with the real deal. I think Kaman is the most realistic choice and if Belkin gets ownership, our big deal next year might be giving Lo an extension!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Premium Member Sothron Posted August 15, 2006 Premium Member Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I'd love to see Kaman here in Atlanta. If Dwight really wants to be in Atlanta again in two years he can make the Magic trade him. But we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnybravo4 Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Neither one because our lineup is set..its done.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final_quest Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I don't think getting Hinrich is realistic at all. Chicago is going to sign him. What is the reason to believe he is going out on the free market? Kaman on the other hand is realistic because his owner has no clue how to keep a team together and only wants to make money.

Lascar78 Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I feel the same way, although I thought that of Ben Wallace (until he re-hired an agent). With Hinrich being so good, so young, our chances of getting him are very slim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final_quest Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 The only possibility I see with Hinrich is the Bulls low-balling him, then he gets insulted by their low offer and goes elsewhere. That's what happend with JJ and Wallace, probably a few other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bird_dirt Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 if belkin gets ownership, our big deal next year will be trading away jj soon after the firings of bk and woody, bank on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final_quest Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 No way. JJ is the perfect on the cheap player now. His salary on the books is like $58 million, but he will only be paid $50 million. These are the kind of players Belkin would trade for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member mrhonline Posted August 15, 2006 Premium Member Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I'm a little concerned that such a large percentage of the fans on here think the Hawks have any chance of landing Dwight Howard. Why would he leave Orlando? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholasp27 Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 howard wanted to play for the Hawks he grew up here and wanted us to draft him he likely won't leave ORL, but if he does demand a trade, it will be to here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final_quest Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Short answer is that Atlanta is his hometown. I also remember reading about him and his father's reaction watching the draft lottery. They were crushed to see Atlanta get the 5th pick. He wanted to play for us so badly. Howard seems like the kind of person that likes to be home, and was not raised to believe that money is a priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bird_dirt Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 i was thinking from an egotistical point of view. sure it wouldn't be a wise business decision, but hiring m.l. carr wouldn't be either, and he already stated he would do that. he would do it more for wanting to wash away the reminder of what set the whole fiasco into motion, to put his stamp on the organization. i read of his supposed interest in ai, and wouldn't be shocked if he traded jj + whatever for ai, because that seems like it would be the sort of dumb move he would do. i wouldn't ever want jj traded, i just think belkin would do it for his own ego's sake.
