Funny how so many attacked me when I said multiple times I hated trading for Splitter and he would be exposed playing away from Duncan. Man I hate it when I'm this damn right.

Splitter has done fine fitting into a new team when he has played. Problem has been injuries. Did you predict that?

Attacked? Victim mentality in full effect on the Squawk! Lol Who claimed Splitter was going to be the difference maker? It's no secret he's always been injury prone but we are a better team when he's

Looking good so far!  Those volt shoes make him look faster.

Probably got the hip injury because he runs so awkwardly. He ambles/wobbles up the court like a fat kid on the way to a candy store.

I haven't compared the stats, but it seems like Moose has been pretty effective in his absence. And he's like $8M cheaper or something ridiculous. So if we can trade him to a team that would want his services next year for a player of need, I'd give it a listen. He has been less than impressive.

Splitter being a non factor, coupled with Korver's terrible shooting, are why Atlanta has struggled. I dont buy into the DMC thing.  The Hawks couldnt rebound or shoot WITH DMC.

Well we could shoot and defend better that's for sure. Remember how well DMC shot in the playoffs until his knee injury? He was our MVP on both sides of the ball. His loss can't be understated enough. Everyone else had to slide up 1 spot on the depth chart as a result and with Korver struggling to shoot after his surgery it has really affected our play. If one of our PGs could be a real threat from 3 off the dribble that would make a world of difference as well.

Just curious but how much better do you think the Hawks might be if we had Boban playing instead of Tiago? I know he's no star but damn that guy is actually playing at this level and I thought he was just going to be a summer league semi-star. We really dropped the ball on letting him go.

Kind of like this?

"Between Horford, Edy and Tiago we couldn't possibly use a guy who will put up 24pp36 and 15 rp36 in our center slot.  Edy looks like a vet and I've got a good feeling Tiago will be healthier than ever.  You on the other hand could use some shoring up in your frontcourt what with that Duncan guy, Aldridge, West, Boris and Bonner.  You are a little undersized compared to my Hawks.  I mean, how are you guys going to rebound with that bunch?  So, anyway, I'm going to sign our 4th and 5th string SGs now to complete our roster but you might want to take a hard look at this Boban kid."

Man, I'mma need Budz to stop doing more GM'ing for the Spurs than he's doing for the Hawks.  Geez

Also, nice low-key THJr shot by Cap'n Ahab aka @AHF

So now you've joined me!  You think THJr is our 4th or 5th option at SG?  For me that was Patterson and Holiday but good effort.

There's much that I don't agree with for @kg01 but I do think we're in complete agreement that @AHF is like a 4th or 5th option mod ....

You can't just drive out to Chipotle on your lunch break and call it a "self-bant".  That's worse than celebrities who go to some spa "rehab" in lieu of facing jail time for running over some old lady.  There's no actual punishment in it!

No no, it's totally legit to do. I think the bigger question is how the heck do you know I was going to Chipotle??

Dang it. Him and his fragile Brazilian hip. You know @kg01 frequents various unmentionable websites where Brazilians have sturdy hips...not to mention much more tan. Share the knowledge kg, share it with us.

I don't think Bud has the patience to trust him this season. Maybe next season

Splitter was basically the last hope for a successful playoff showing.  Didn't mind him missing regular season games but surgery is likely to cost him some if not all of the playoffs to speak nothing of his effectiveness during that time.  Team would do well to seriously entertain these trade scenarios.

Yeah I was hoping he'd be the Hawks secret weapon during the playoffs - be a rim protector so Pau/Jonas/Mozgov etc. don't have career highs but it looks like it'll have to be like last season, hoping Al's quickness and his range takes the opposing center out the game.

Whatever the reason the Hawks didn't feel a need to sign him but I'm certain Bud put a good word in for him. I will try to find where I read or heard that. It was early in the season if I recall correctly.
