vext Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 And I'm looking at this with rose colored glasses. I like the Oubre pick. I'm just hoping that we're doing this for a reason. I'm hoping that we're trading down to still get the player we really want along with a cheaper salary and 2 future 2nd rounders (which have been pretty valuable for us the past couple of years).

WakaFlocka Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 2nd round picks are more like 7th round picks in the NFL. It is rare you get one that makes any impact. The only reason I can think we made this trade was to lower the rookie contract for the cap to try and maybe sign someone as a FA Exactly. And why not get some gamble 2nd rounders, too? We've done pretty well with them over the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 It only took a month to show the Hawks were a fraud. A 600K difference between the 15th and 19th picks last season. Cheap is cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznsensation Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 2nd rd could be use as stash picks. Could they be going this route with all these extra 2nd rounders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairydawgz Posted June 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 I was disappointed. Wanted Oubre or Dekker. Portis still available. Would be a good choice Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkJerian Grant?? Another trade coming? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakin Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Cheap ass ownership already in place. Lol at people thinking tbks franchise turned the corner. Big Oubre fan all the sudden? Same guy that keeps saying the 15th pick is worthless. You are a true jester. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vext Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 And nevermind. Trading the pick, Jerian Grant, to NY for Hardaway Jr.? Not sure what to make of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hazer Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 It's gonna be RHJ. Did you see his face when Hawks picked Oubre? He looked confused, as in "Dafuq?" Then the trade came. Hawks take Jefferson with the 19th pick. I call it! "Swimmy, Swammy, Swanson......oh here it is... SAMSONite.

wolvetigers Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) Trading within your division is stupid. Trading with a team in your division who you just battled for six games is beyond stupid. Welcome to the Bud era of player movement. It's CHESS Not CHECKERS man...we are contending for the Eastern Conference and hopefully NBA Finals, having a raw rookie that would not even see the floor does not help us... Hardaway can learn Bud's system while Korver is recovering and even learn the game from Korver; I would much rather have Hardaway than a Monta Ellis player who is set in his ways.. This may actually pave the way for Milsap to be traded, we are now further strechting the floor....Imagine having ALdridge or Gasol....Stay TUned Hawks Fans Edited June 26, 2015 by wolvetigers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebert Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Not 100% sold but I believe in what Bud does so I'll wait until November to judge it. SURPRISE. Alex looks dumb. Tim Hardaway Jr. is also a Michigan player, so he's going to hate him as much as possible. We should have traded for a mediocre Michigan St. player so he would not blame this staff anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going into next season with pretty much the same main guys is suicide. This year was a fluke until proven other wise. If we go into next season and our PG is once again the only guy on the floor that can make plays consistently off the dribble then we're nothing more than regular season superstars again Edited June 26, 2015 by Cwell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
