hawks21 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Tito Horford, on Tuesday, talked to the Atlanta Journal-Consitution's Jeff Schwartz: "I've been begging [general manager] Rick Sund and the Hawks for the last three years -- please get a center so my son can play his normal position," the elder Horford said Tuesday from his home in the Dominican Republic. "He can't push guys out of the box like I could. If he moved to forward, he would have a longer career." http://blogs.ajc.com/jeff-schultz-blog/2011/02/08/al-horford-an-all-star-at-center-but-hes-taking-a-beating/?cxntfid=blogs_jeff_schultz_blog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anansi Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 He is just wasting his time. Rick Sund is a lazy douche bag. He isn't going to make any moves he is just collecting a paycheck until his retirement comes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GST Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 He is just wasting his time. Rick Sund is a lazy douche bag not allowed to make the kind of trade it would take to get a center. We have an ownership problem. It was a problem when Knight was GM, and it is a problem now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. A lot of people get upset with Sund, but what do you expect him to do or say? The ownership pretty much controls what he can and can't do and can and can't say.

We all know the problems of the team, it's not hard to spot out, but yet, people are acting like no one knew this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Vol4ever Posted February 13, 2011 Premium Member Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Rick Sund knew when he signed here that he was a YES man and that was part of the deal. Sund has no more power with the Hawks than us fans on Hawksquawk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin capstone21 Posted February 13, 2011 Admin Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 He is just wasting his time. Rick Sund is a lazy douche bag. He isn't going to make any moves he is just collecting a paycheck until his retirement comes. Like every other GM he is trying to see if the right deal is out there. There is no point to make a deal just to make a deal. He has to find the right pieces that work for us and that will work for the other team.

This team is stuck as first round warriors for the next three to four years before age and contract expirings will break up the "core". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHawks89 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) I honestly think that if Horford and Smith played against other, Smith would own Horford in a game. Horford has slower feet, and he wouldn't be able to defend an athlete like Josh. Edited February 13, 2011 by AHawks89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimme Horf all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimme Horf all day. I have to agree with this. I don't think Josh fares that well against guys who are more physical than he is. I think that's why you see some inconsistency with Josh. Some nights, the guy he's playing is more finesse and you'll see Josh attack the basket more and when the opponent is more physical, you'll see him shooting more jumpers. As a 4, Horford doesn't have that issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team is stuck as first round warriors for the next three to four years before age and contract expirings will break up the "core". I remember years ago when Turner owned the team if we needed to make a change Kasten had the ok to do it. Gearon will not make a deal to improve the team because he apparently thinks the average fan is stupid and cant see this team has peaked or they are just dang cheap, or both. I will go with both. I dont think the Hawks could win a series with Boston, Miami, Chicago for sure and New York would be tough on them along with Miliwaukee at this point in the season. We barely came thru last year with M'kee.. Edited February 14, 2011 by Vol4ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
