Hawks trade for Antawn Jamison

[macdaddy]

We could hear of other deals for another couple of hours. I'd be surprised if we didn't get Kaman or Hill.

We'd be sending someone out though right? We don't have any roster spots.

Here's Tawn and Brand together.

Danny just wanted someone to throw popcorn at during the Duke-UNC game.

Instant Classic!

Welp, Time to look forward to the off season. Again.

You mean so that they can draft another euro with the 17-20th pick and then get rejected by the top FA's again?

[Vol4ever]

Next Hawks home game will feature Antawn Jamison bobble head night. The first 125 people in the door out of the 500 that will show up get this amazing offer.

Only if you have your AARP card in tote.....

from Sports Illustrted:

"The return package for Jamison isn’t immediately clear, though because Jamison makes the veteran’s minimum, Atlanta could absorb his deal by way of the minimum salary exception. Should that turn out to be the case, the Clippers would squeak a bit closer to the luxury tax line, though would not shed enough salary to avoid paying it entirely.

Jamison, a 15-year veteran and two-time All-Star, has played sparingly for the Clippers this season. He’s averaged 3.8 points and 2.5 rebounds per game in 11.3 minutes, though he’s only seen time in 22 of L.A.’s 56 games. Atlanta proved to be a possible landing spot largely out of desperation, as the Hawks’ frontcourt rotation has been undercut by numerous injuries."

He's here to help Scott perfect those quick flips and teardrops. I can't see any other use. We all knew deep down inside Ferry wasnt gonna do nothing. The last signifigant deadline trades I remember both involved us eons ago with Sheed then Bibby, although GS adding Blake is huge for Curry.

I guess this means any plans for bringing Al Harrington back are shot, huh?

Jamison's contract is for 1.4 million.

We are gonna have to drop someone for Jamison and then either someone else or we could put Horford on IR, right? Or am I confusing that with the NFL?

[Sothron]

Danny Ferry news release:

We are proud to bring in a TWO TIME All Star power forward to Atlanta.

[GrimeyKidd]

Is he eligible to play tomorrow

[GrimeyKidd]

Frontcourt rotation? How many guys do we have playing the 3.5

[Admin]

Drop someone. No IR anymore.

Well then amnesty Al! Oh wait we can't do that until the offseason. Darn. Oh well we have guys we can drop.
