Premium Member mrhonline Posted February 17, 2008 Premium Member Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 There will most definitely be a new Hawk on Monday or Tuesday, because the Hawks are required to have 13 players before playing the Lakers. Look for a 10-day contract to be awarded to an NBDL player, and a veteran solution to be sought out over the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam1218 Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I don't really follow the NBDL much. Who has any ideas of what we can acquire from the league? I could be wrong, but I think a good shooter will be easier to find in the NBDL. If there is a 7' player that can score and rebound, he probably won't be in the NBDL. It seems to be more of a scorers league. I remember getting Gundy(sp?) last year, and he knocked down a couple open threes, but that seemed to be all he could do.

Admin Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I wonder if we could offer a future pick to the Jazz for Morris Almond. They were talking about how he has been tearing up the D-League last night during the Rookie game. Without a trade though I really hope that we go after PJ Brown.

He'd be a PERFECT fit, but I can't imagine him turning down someone like Dallas or New Orleans for Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 But have they actually offered him a contract? He can come to Atlanta and make us a much deeper and much more physical team and that might be enough to take us from 1st round contender to a team that can advance and if we somehow get past the first round anything could happen. I agree that he would probably rather sign with one of those teams but if nobody offers him a deal surely signing with us is better than sitting out.

Premium Member mrhonline Posted February 17, 2008 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Chicago still owns his rights, I believe. Brown is likely hoping they'd "Aaron McKie" him and use him in a S&T. After the trade deadline, expect Boston & others to make him an offer.

Premium Member mrhonline Posted February 17, 2008 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I wouldn't rule out Jelani McCoy on a 10-day. He's in the NBDL, so he clearly wants to play, and the Hawks' could use his experience over some rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrReality Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I posted the most likely guys to be called up from the D league and FA in another post. McCoy might be the best available. Wonder who the Kings will cut lose. Don't they have too many players??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member mrhonline Posted February 17, 2008 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 They cut Justin Williams and Dahntay Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrReality Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Why wouldn't we pick them up??? At least Williams. Here's a link to the D league all star game. http://www.nba.com/dleague/games/20080216/...R/boxscore.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
