Blink Craw Stackz/Evans Smith Pachulia nice blend of youth and veteran on the second unit....look at what the Spurs do with older, wily vets I'm ALL for it Edited January 14, 2010 by SmooveHawksFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

00Blink Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I'd rather have Rio than Stackhouse I don't know man...I like Rio's energy and all...but he seems like a wild child running loose at recess. I will say he sacrifice his body, but he do throw his body everywhere and into everyone...OTH, Stackhouse has sat out the league a year...rejuvenated his body and energy and mental...and seems intent on making a statement by coming back to the NBA. His veteran presence and playoff experience could bode well for this team. He's a scorer who's poised to make a comeback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonegully Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I wouldnt mind Stack, but dam it feels good having vets thinking that we are a contender. Maybe other vets will start thinking about the Hawks now. Having Stack will have to give us the best second unit in the NBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member mrhonline Posted January 14, 2010 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 The cost to sign Stackhouse declines each day. Currently, it would cost the Hawks ~400K to sign Stackhouse. If he is fine with not getting playing time, I have zero problems with it. He'd be great insurance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would equate to about $400 K pro-rata since the regualar season is about half way over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Smith is dam near just as old...and he spent two years getting his body right, back from injury....in a role similar to Joe Smith, he could provide about 5 minutes a game and on occassion when Joe is tired or in foul trouble or if he has to take some personal time, give about 10-15 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye242424 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I think bringing Stack in would stunt the growth of someone, whether it be Blink or Rio, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's the wrong thing to do. It's all a matter of opinion. Do we stick with what we got and continue to try and get the young guys some time...or do we improve our bench and add another vet for a serious championship run (not like we're not serious now, but the signing would open some eyes). The thing is, if we sign Stack, he's going to play. He's not going to sit out as long as he has, and worked on being healthy to come back and ride the pine. He will take minutes from people, that I'm pretty sure of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like someone stated, he would have to be okay with 10 minutes a game...I personally think he could be much more valuable than Rio. For the game Rio had last night (career best), he still looked a bit out of control. He just seems out of control to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not necessarily against bringing in Stack because I think he brings something valuable to the table, but doing so, I think your 2nd unit now becomes.... Crawford Evans Stackhouse Smith Pachulia That relegates Teague to even more limited PT than he's seeing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly we have the guys to do a full second team shift on its own merit and Woodson should be using it as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to win now! :laughing5: I don't think we have to screw anyone over :handshake: I think we could rotate Stack and Evans and see who presents the better matchup opportunity (Stacks-slash/shooter and Evans spot-up shooter/defense?) and who is having the better game as to who is going to get majority of the cleanup time...also, if/whenever Marvin is in a slump and/or sleepwalking, split some of his time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly we have the guys to do a full second team shift on its own merit and Woodson should be using it as such. I concur...it's what veteran, contending teams do...build a deep and strong bench...plus it would be a "nice" problem to have, a bench TOO DEEP to divy the minutes equally...it's the same problem that Orlando is having with Marcin Gortat and Brandon Bass...there is rumblings that they want to be traded because they are not getting enough playing time now that Ryan Anderson has emerged...BUT, they are extremely deep...and so COULD we Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm under the impression that if we we're able to bring him in, at the 400k range, really, it couldn't hurt. Most, if not all, championship teams have a solid bench. Stack would solidify that aspect of our team IF he's still got some gas left in the tank. Everything over the summer until now points that he does, but if so, why has no other team has looked at him or gone further and signed him? Let's say Stack is still capable of producing, and he brings in his leadership and experience. With where we're sitting today, 25 wins...all that jazz, how could you not take a chance at this point? I think the major issue with signing Stack would be cutting into an already low number of minutes for our rook...which is a valid argument. But, we're GOOD right now, without a huge contribution from Teague. Who knows how long that window of us being in this position will last? Win now, and bring anyone in who could help us! If Stack still can do it, go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrywest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 We have been amazingly injury free so far. The law of average always catches up. We need to prepare for it. You can't find a better and cheaper injury protection than Stackhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
