Popular Post volman Posted March 3, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Was just sitting next to him in first class on my flight to LAX. He was trying to talk rather quietly, but I am lucky to have pretty good hearing and was eavesdropping. He is a disciple of Poppovich and Buford out of San Antonio, and of course was talking about "let's just do it the san antonio way/model" to whomever he had on the phone. Thought it was interesting. Also heard him talk about Al Horford, so maybe that is a target of theirs for free agency. Don't know if they have the $$$ though, and I don't know if Brooklyn would be attractive to him. Just passing some info along..Not much news here, but thought it was interesting! Also, ran into the team while I was out in San Fran-- Horford was a really nice guy, talked with Korver who was quite stoic and didn't really give me much.. Tavares is HUGE... wow. Go Hawks! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a good opportunity for you to use subliminal input (aka Jedi Mind Trick) to get him to lay off our players and to defer to us re: prospects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsuteke Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 You dropped the ball by not asking him why that Russian hired him over Danny Ferry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBASupes Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Everyone wants Al and yes, they do have the cap. Thankfully Al wants to be here. Atlanta will need to address the SF position though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Al will be a lifelong Hawk imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al in the NY market would be huge for his brand, especially with all the Dominicans up there. They'd have to move Lopez though. With the NBA going small, it'd be redundant to have Lopez and Al together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means nothing, Al is staying put. What you might want to worry about is other players. This could be a new team aside from Al and Kyle next year.

thescout5 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Sound like same team as this year minus Baz. I don't think Thabo can put up the numbers as Baz has. Small forward is needed/shooting guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hawks have some different plans this off-season. The main one is resigning Al. That's the main one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hazer Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Watch Baze get that $15mil we said he would ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The free agents that most fans want won't leave their team. Batum is staying. Horford is staying. Conley, Drummond and DeRozan is staying. Barnes is staying. Most teams have no shot at Durant and LeBron. Paul Gasol is picky. So guys who have a lot of value like Bazemore is at a premium price even for the Hawks.

hylndr11 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 lol - so then whats the point guys, Batum is the only guy that might make a diff here, and we cant even get him?!?!? no wonder ppl dont care about the NBA its f***ing horrible, the nba needs to block these teams like CLE and MIA when he was there, seriously why are we getting so invested, supes, ur saying we blow it up ok for WHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
