Premium Member Diesel Posted June 29, 2016 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Why did we pick up the option on Muscala?? Are we going to stash him somewhere?? He's taking up Space. Everything just told me that we're staying Pat this offseason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Overreact much? $1 million - it may be needed in trade, maybe a another team wants him in a trade, smh. And you need to stop with these 'Non Information Topic headlines" Put the info in them. Title should be "HAWKS PICK UP OPTION ON MIKE MUSCALA" simple and to the point.

IF he's used in a trade... Great. But holding on to players who are below average is not my idea of not cutting corners. At the end of the day, it's still a roster spot.

You get no arguments from me regarding his regression, but it's also not the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had too many owners and GMs say that we want to make a splash in free agency and starts with a move like Resigning Eldridge Recasner... and end up pulling a Rick Sund Stay Pat... That's all. Just a little too much de ja vu from being lied to as a Hawks fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBASupes Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 That's what they are suppose to do. He's only a million dollars and plays like a 10th man. That's more than a million in value. Good move. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone's gotta be on the bench for a mil. It's not the money. It's the roster spot. Think about it. We're getting 3 rooks this year. We have Dennis, Sap, Korver, THJr, Moose, Scott, Patterson, Splitter, Hinrich, Thabo & Bebe. Under contract. That's 14 spots. We're talking Horford, Baze, and a BU PG. 17 of 15. I've looked at the expendables to be Moose and Hinrich and maybe we can bring in a BU PG and another player. However, that's not seeming like it will happen. Yeah, it's a 1 million dollar player. Hell, those are easy to find. We will invite some to camp. Shoot, we could prolly get Marcus Paige for less than 1 Million dollars. The point is if we're not cutting the expendable players. IN the absence of a trade that clears out roster spots or get us what we need, how do we clear out these Roster spots. Is this another year of Bebe in Suits playing for the DL? Are those Rooks designed for the DL? Small moves have consequences too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 I think he's just gonna be a throw in on a trade we made for a BU point. I doubt Bud can trust him anymore. He's a great guy and I love the goggles but I think we need a more talented player on the floor, even as a 10-12th man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin capstone21 Posted June 29, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 He may also be rewarding him for the hard work, locker room attitude and the goggles For a million in today's NBA for a backup who can come in and play spot minutes, give 100% and work hard and not hurt you is pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bird_dirt Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Yeah I have to agree on this one. WLOC move. Moose and Patterson have both been given opportunities, and now they both need to go and let the Hawks try some other cheap options to might show higher potential. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 So if he is not packaged in a trade then for us he is really just a weak power forward that we try to play at both C and PF. Thought his play in the playoffs finished him off for us. If we hold on to Scott if he's not in jail or suspended that means no Hump. Someone would have to do us a favor in a trade and take Tiago to make space for Humph so even though Moose's option was pennies it still seems like a valuable roster spot has probably been wasted. Imagine Edy will continue to be developed here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all. Just a little too much de ja vu from being lied to as a Hawks fan. Leave DJ Cas alone ( as I affectionally used to call him ). He is the best 3 point shooting PG in Hawks history. 41.7% three point shooter in his 2 seasons as a Hawk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNorthCydeRises Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 As for Moose, I'd much see Edy at this point. Like JayBird said in another thread, he played poorly las year in Summer League, and had no impact this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 If you're not a three point shooting big man, Bud doesn't want you. Suspect we never see Edy at this point although he could help some in a 10 mpg role by the second half of next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
