They're building around a player that averaged a lousy 14.8 PPG and 3.6 RPG in his last 5 playoff games last year. Ikr...His def-rebounding has declined for something like 5 years in a row. Our frontline can't even handle the likes of Tristan Thompson and Channing Fry. i'd rather rebuild then stick with Max Horford, soon to be maxed Sap and sorry Splitter , when we already know can't get the job done.

Splitter can't even stay on the court. How many games did he play this year? 36? He only looked good when playing next to Tim Duncan anyway.

Hawkmoor Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 This move was about clearing space to resign Horford AND Baze? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see him going out to the 3pt line to toss up 3's more and more. I saw the team make the playoffs without him just a few years ago. Building around him after his tepid play last year is just another sign this franchise is happy to just make the playoffs. Horford's play all of last year was uninspired and tepid. Is this what you mean when you say to Supes: "I owned you in the Horford argument"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they'll probably keep Blowsomemore also. He and Horford were both terrible in the playoffs and they'll probably get rewarded with big contracts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grab as many picks as you can and move up. They still got a ton of picks in the next few drafts they can throw in there for Hield.. Im thinking thats the exit move. Something tells me they dont think Boston is gonna draft Hield. I don't agree with you much, but I 100% agree with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a dumb move because the alternative would have been to have 8 million tied up to Teague heading into the season, and then losing him for nothing. People expecting a lot of a Teague trade, even last year, were not understanding anything about the context. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said over and over they was gonna trot the same team out there next season and sell that to Atlanta... I dont know which player i can't stand the most, Baze or Horford?

Hawks could've traded Teague for a player that could improve this team, instead we trade teague just so we can resign AL? Not to mention hawks already wanting to trade the draft picks just to help resign AL too. So yes this is a dumb move, unless they can trade those picks for a player that will improve this team.

JTB Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Just saw that Nets, Hornets, Pelicans, and nuggets are interested in those two picks. What players can we grab from those teams? Maybe Lopez, Gallinari (however you spell it), or Faired? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just got handled by Cleveland and they're response will be to comeback with a less talented team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkmoor Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 This is what i dont get. Jaybirdhawk and Lurker explained to me how the Hawks could keep Horford without making major moves because they got his Bird Rights. Something ain't right. Unless, this is about keeping Baze also, as i expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS5 Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Way I see it, this trade opens a lot more doors. We can now sign a player to a max deal PLUS Horford. We can also package our multiple picks and move up, or trade for another good player. All of this for someone who has only a year left in the contract and we already have his replacement in our team. We'll see what we do now, but right now, I think this is a pretty good move by the Hawks, if anything, to just have more options on the table at draft night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member cam1218 Posted June 22, 2016 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 I also don't get the comment from Marc Stein about signing Horford. We didn't have to trade Teague to do that, so what is he trying to say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
