As I said on a past thread, one of them would have to become the defensive equivalent of Joe Dumars, or at least Avery Bradley and Rajon Rondo, in order for them to be successful on the floor together. They'd have to be able to at least slow down guys like Bradley Beal, Klay Thompson, and Demarr Derozan. We can't do like Golden State tried to do with Curry and Monta Ellis. True. But we know that one of them becoming a defensive stopper of 2 guards is not going to happen at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkmoor Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) Resign everybody. Finish the Phillips Arena remodeling plans. Figure out a way of getting more country music in the rotation, ban opposing team fans from standing behind the Hawks announcers when they win during the after game show at Phillips, and get Dominique to analyze just ONE play a game..........

ViewsFromTheSquawk Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Personally I feel as if the Hawks should try and hold onto everyone except Muscala,Splitter,and Bazemore. Then with the money left over you get the cut bait GSW dumps in their pursuit for Durant and who knows maybe talk SAS into a deal for cheats for Danny Green? Then have this lineup.... PG-Teague,Schröder SG-Hardaway,Green,Korver SF-Barnes/Iggy,Sefolosha PF-Milsap,Scott C-Horford,Humphries,Tavares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd79 Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Actually we have to see how we finish the season before pedicting something. A 2nd ECF (or more) could help a lot in FAncy. It would prove last year wasn't a fluke. It could help to sign players for less and could give us a shot at signing ring hunters who doesn't care about the money any more.

Premium Member Jody23 Posted March 25, 2016 Premium Member Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 At any rate, the Hawks don't have any All-NBA/future Hall of Fame type players and you pretty much need those guys to win a title. Pursuing avenues to land that kind of player should be the priority. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jy23 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Just get an actual starting sf in here...I don't care how just get it done. Resign everybody except Baze. Good player but not worth the money he's going to demand. Hope Minny cracks the playoffs next year and really have some things cooking with 2 first round picks next year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LamarHampton Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 According to the media, Leighbron is thinking about leaving Cleveland... If we meet him twice in the ECF... Eh, won't happen regardless. Nevermind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragitoff Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 What does everyone think Joakim Noah will get this offseason? His offense is so weak and he's become a shell of his former self, but I wonder if he'd take a low-ball deal to play with Al again and rebuild his value. Seems like his skilset would greatly benefit this team on the glass and defensively. That's assuming we move Splitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't mind us adding him once the real bidness (re-signing Al, getting a real 3) is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 29 year old (soon to be 30 yrs in Oct) Wesley Matthews coming off an achillies injury got a 4yr/$70 mil deal. Who the hell knows. Salaries are so out of wack it's hard to say what's a good deal anymore. Would love to have him at the right price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing he gets right around the same deal as Wes...4/70mill...unless there's some uncertainty down the road. Big men seem to be much more vulnerable after injuries than guards.

Big men seem to be much more vulnerable after injuries than guards. Any GM that gave him that deal should be fired on the spot. Wes has been worth his deal the last couple years (in the context of deals for other wings) but bear in mind that Dallas also agreed to a lower deal with Wes and then upped his pay voluntarily after the debacle with Jordan. Noah is a hard one to peg with his reduced production, age and injury history but 4/70 is definitely not good value. Given Noah's offensive limitations and Bud's use of big men, I wonder if he wouldn't rather have Humphries than Noah for the same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given Noah's offensive limitations and Bud's use of big men, I wonder if he wouldn't rather have Humphries than Noah for the same price. I'd agree a few years ago 4/70 mill for an injury prone center is too much, but not when teams are throwing around Monopoly money at some serious scrubs Also, Wes came off a major injury himself and still got the loot. Given the advanced sports medicine we have available these days, I'm not writing off Noah whatsoever, also today's 30 years of age is about 26 or 27 about 15 years ago. One last thing, Noah seems to have the heart of a champ, if anyone is going to work to get back, I'd put my money on him anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think he's a good big that could be a steal for us as a backup and help fill a gap for us. Honestly, I'd love to see Humphries re-signed. He's done well for us. Our improved play really started once he was signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got burned by their incessant scolding so I decided to follow the rules, to my detriment. Never follow the rules, kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
