They would need an additional scorer to two off the bench (Gibson?), but damn. This is why you don't trade your young talent for aging veterans or for players with equal or lesser talent especially when it looks as though your current team is finally developing good chemistry! I think last I checked, San Antonio is the only championship team that was a championship team by virtue of picks that they made. Everybody else traded to get to the championship. Young talent alone usually don't take you anywhere. Where would we be had we not traded Diaw for JJ? This is why you consider every trade!!

The real point is that every single championship team, with the exception of the Pistons, for the past two plus decades had one of the 5 best players currently in the NBA leading them. So, if the Hawks are going to win a championship they need one of the 5 best players in the NBA. Is anyone on the current roster capable of becoming a top 5 player in the league?

Johnnybravo4 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 JJ and Josh have that potential...especially Josh, but he has to make some tremendous strides fundamentally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLBob Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I understand your position. But if we trade Tex at the deadline, we're throwing in the towel on the season. Who would protect Chipper? Better to hope that Tex's bat comes around. We don't need him to lead, we need him to hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
