Premium Member Diesel Posted June 4, 2014 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Do we reup the Brandman? He's playing one more year. Defensively, he's very solid. Offensively, he can hit a layup. He would be a depth guy for us. I think i saw that defensively, he was the guy that was a good rim protector. Moreover, do we start grooming him to be an A. Coach?

ATLHawks3 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 If Snyder leaves, I wonder if he'll be interested in coaching are big men, while actually playing. A Player-Assitant Coach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin capstone21 Posted June 4, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I like him but I wait until other free agents are signed and see where we lay. What he brings to the court is very replaceable. His experience and leadership is much harder to replace. He will probably go to somewhere that he thinks he will finally win that championship as this may be his last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBASupes Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Honestly, if we miss on Melo or Bron. Bring him back. We need him for the young bigs like Bebe and Mike M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 People don't realize how good Brand was for us last year. I posted it in another thread but even Brand last year was better than Zaza in his best year. For 2 million or so I'd absolutely bring Brand back just so our young guys and even Horford would have someone skilled to play against in practice every day. Brand can still give us valuable minutes but I don't want him playing 20 mpg. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q45T Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I wish he got more burn in the Pacers series... especially since Pero was so terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorta like Lue or D-Fish. I saw where Phil Jackson got fined for contacting D-Fish. Is this his answer to Jason Kidd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't surprise me if he played a few more years even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators macdaddy Posted June 4, 2014 Moderators Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Brand is 35. I think Horry played to like 38 and Willis to over 40 not coincidentally for the spurs. I'd love to have him back. I'd also like Hill. If we have Horford, Antić, Muscala and Bebe I'm not sure we're carrying a 5th center though. I'm starting to think Bebe isn't coming over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNorthCydeRises Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 If we bring Brand back, tell Antić "thanks, but no thanks". We really need to see if Bebe can give us anything from the center position this year. No need to be carrying more than 3 centers on this team to start the season. So if the GM isn't going to get a starting quality center to move Horford to PF, and he opts to bring a guy like Brand back, send Antić packing and bring on Bebe.

Moderators macdaddy Posted June 4, 2014 Moderators Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Antić has a deal for next year right? So we'd be trading him. I like Antić. I think he's going to have a great year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 The Hawks have a de-facto team option on Pero Antić, whose $1.25MM non-guaranteed salary for next season becomes fully guaranteed if he’s not waived on or before July 15th. Team intends to keep him past that date, according to Vivlamore (Twitter link). Antić appeared in 50 games and averaged 7.0 PPG, 4.2 RPG, and 1.2 APG in 18.5 minutes played.

I'd be suprised if they let him go but maybe he gets packaged in a trade. Despite his bad series against Indy that is great value at the center position.

frosgrim Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Brand is a very good role player for us, but I have to agree that Hill might be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Hill for a few more million makes more sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrReality Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Think he would fit in with DF and Bud on the coaching staff. Our young bigs need a mentor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
