DrReality Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Am I the only one that caught what was said about the bulls coach. First we've got to get a coach he'll respect and then see what happens 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PSSSHHHRRR87 Posted February 25, 2013 Author Moderators Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Another point to Korver's age is that he is at that point in his career where he is either looking to get paid, to start digging in and winning titles. Do you think he wants to play the rest of his years in a Hawks uniform? Or do you think he'd rather jump ship and join up with the Bulls, the team he was a fan of when he was a kid and has a mass amount of respect for, for a chance to win a title with D-Rose? As much as we like Korver around here, don't get your hopes up on him staying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 He also mentioned that the Bulls had good fans..is he implying that Hawks fans aren't good.........I've been a loyal Hawks fan forever but I'm disgusted with our fans chanting for the opposing team...smh And please don't tell me about putting a winner out there that they could get behind because that's just bs...the golden state warriors have sucked for 20 years and have some of the most loyal and loudest home court in the league...makes me sick.

thecampster Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 In the new CBA Korver's 5 million a year is about right. Korver can simply shoot like a sniper. That is an extremely valuable commodity. But make no mistake. Lou Williams signed for 5 mil. There's a reason. Korver is a suspect defender and a poor ball handler for a 2, he's no where big enough to start as a 3 consistently. He isn't a slasher. He's a great floor spacer and extremely smart player but in today's athletic NBA his defense can leader to insanely easy possessions by the other team. I love me some Korver but there is a reason a 2nd round pick bought him last year. 5 million is more than 1/12th the salary cap. Korver doesn't excite fans till they see him night in and night out and like Bibby age will slow him down in the future. He's looking at 5 million if he wants to play for a winner. 8 million if he's willing to go to a team that needs bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Walter Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Mathmatical fact: You can't have more than 100% because that's all there is. Rose is saying, I've got to be 110% of being perfect. Hah. Let him try. We hearall these otherwise smart people who don't really know their math. We hear: That player gives 120% all the time. Bullfeathers. We know what theyreally mean, they strive to reach 100% but, since that would be absolutely perfect,they can't really do that. I sincerely hope we can retain Korver. He's good! I think our chance of retaining Korver is 110%. ... Actually, I'm more concerned about the draw Korver has to Thibideau (sp) relative to Drew. Drew has "let Korver play" but somehow I think Korver prefers the on the court discipline Thib holds all his players to and if probably irked by the lack of it here. That says a lot about Drew. Mind you, I'm not certain who is the next Thibs or who would represent him without having the players tune him out in a few years. W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 If FAs go to the highest bidding team then the winning team always overpays, cuz they paid more than anyone else thought the FA was worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Jamal Crawford was a one trick pony. Still wish we had this guy: when he was hot, he was hot (although he was ice-cold when he wasn't). Still my favorite all-time Hawk, just because he never saw a shot he didn't like.

Hard to believe, I know, but he didn't shy away from the big shot. That buzzer-beater against the Suns blew me away! Before him, I didn't have one favorite player, but after the last game, it'll probably be The Boss from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankthetank966 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 First off, I'm extremely disappointed that the NBA doesn't have a rule in place that will fine players for talking about playing for other teams in the middle of the season. I'm sick of NBA players on teams saying they want to be a Laker, Bull or Heat in the middle of the season. That should be saved until free agency. Now that Korver has openly announced he would be open to returning to Chicago, there's a slim chance he will be in a Hawks uniform next year. Korver is starting to excel in this system and fills a role on this team. Realistically if the Bulls make Korver an offer why would he stay with Atlanta? He enjoyed playing in the Mad House and Rose returns next year. That team is going to be exciting again. In fact, someone like Korver would most likely take less money to play for a prestigious team such as Chicago. Mark my word, Korver will be a Chicago Bull next year since Rose was a huge fan of his. Too bad because Korver is a good player... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLSmith Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Aren't the Bulls in a tight spot regarding the cap? That's the whole reason they traded Korver for the cash in the first place. If that is still the case this summer, it is going to be difficult for the Bulls to offer an attractive salary to Korver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitte Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 He barely said anything positive about the Hawks, all the praises go to his former team. It is a little bit disappointing, but I can't totally blame him. Apparently, as an organization, we are not as desirable as the Bulls. And that is the problem exactly. The challenge is turning this organization to a desirable one. We don't just need good free agents. We need better ownership, better coaching, better management. It is not impossible, Falcons did that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLSmith Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 They have the MLE on their side correct?Yea, I have no idea. My question was for the experts around here. I'm certainly no expert, just a fan. That's why I like this board. I can post my clueless questions and typically get a great answer (and a bit of ribbing).
