Hawkmoor Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I don't get it. Hump is argueably the most important bench big the Hawks got, but what do they do? Bench him in the playoffs and extend Moose. Boston is targeting Kris just in case they dont sign D12 or Horford. That shows you the importance of Hump. Heck, its a win win for me ( Celtic and Hawk fan), but i just don't get Bud's decisions: http://nesn.com/2016/07/nba-rumors-celtics-considering-kris-humphries-in-addition-to-main-targets/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 He really filled a void for us in the paint hitting that glass that Moose will never do for us. Best PER against the Cavs we had. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Maybe someone on our staff is going to put a gun to Moose's head and strap him to some weight machines. Eat five or six meals a day if thats what it takes but do something that shows you have earned some minutes on the floor. Moose instead of Humph is a big compromise.

Watchman Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 We need to put a gun to the head of whoever thought it would be a good idea to bring back Moose. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Bud has confidence in him for no obvious reason that I can see. When he is on the floor we are immediately worse off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trout7 Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 You have got to be kidding. Bud has no hope or clue how to win a championship. He is nothing like Popovich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud just wouldn't allow us to get used to that kind of play though. Bud understands the all out play of Dennis earns him minutes but never applied that same common sense approach to Humph. A mystery.

We have some history with the Celtics and their sportswriters seem to hate us. They're about as close a historical rival for us I can think of. That would be like your two favorite college football teams being Auburn and Georgia (not the biggest rival like the Iron Bowl but still a divided matchup). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humph had a lot of nice moments here. He will be missed, but we are also talking contract extension with him too so their is still hope! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty tricky situation with Scott right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecampster Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I think the Hawks are waiting on word from a few free agents to be before deciding Scott's fate. If there is a chance they can get a solid free agent, they'll waive Scott before July 10th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Hope Scott's legal situation works out for him and us because I like his offensive bursts from the bench, inconsistent as they are. Want him to have to fight for the backup PF spot as opposed to being penciled into it because of Moose being on the roster. If Humph does possibly end up here I would have him first off the bench at PF as well as some minutes at C. Scott would be the third PF in that case.

RandomFan Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Wait, Muscala has a $1M salary and Humph is going to make at least 5 to 10 times that much, while we are trying to conserve cap space for Horford, Howard, and/or Baze - and you don't get it?

Don't know who you are posting to but we don't have to conserve anything to keep Al and I'm not someone who gives a flip about having a twelve year old mentally developed and physically damaged prima donna on our team for 24 million. Baze is most likely gone as well. Look at the numbers predicted for him right now. Don't know what Humph can get. So who doesn't get what? If you have to have Al and D12 then you can still have Humph as well since Baze has out priced his worth for us. If or when D12 misses thirty plus games for us Humph would help and Moose would not no matter what their salary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchman Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 MLE is available. If we do end up with Howard, it would be good to have a capable backup in the event that Howard ends up with one of his inevitable injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damaged goods has a propensity to rear it's ugly head with it's repeated history and can hurt even more when big money is involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
