Player has to be added by Tuesday.

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.

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.

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.

[Admin]

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.

[mrhonline]

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.

[mrhonline]

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.

[DrReality]

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???

[mrhonline]

They cut Justin Williams and Dahntay Jones.

[DrReality]

Why wouldn't we pick them up??? At least Williams.

Here's a link to the D league all star game.

I would love Almond and Brown. Great ideas!
