They silently made a solid team over there given that everyone is healthy. PG-Paul SG-Heild SF-Evans PF-Davis C-Asik pretty good lineup.. You've been going hard at 2K huh? I'm coming back from vaca in a couple days and it's on. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bird_dirt Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Oh, yeah, you know...I'm sure that even though we needed to trade away Jeff because it was too much to keep him and Dennis....Dennis and Paul will definitely work out. Great idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted July 15, 2016 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 I'm of the belief that Dennis and Paul could definitely co-exist. The same way that Jason Kidd and J.J. Berea co-existed for Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, Dennis is a starter now and no way cp's ego will allow him to come off the bench. At least not for another few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could sign CPaul to a 4 year deal and in the middle of the contract, still turn over the team to a still young Dennis. At the end of the contract, a still young 29 year old Dennis. The real question is .. Do you want to be young or do you want to win a championship? A few years ago, Boston gave up AL Jefferson to win a championship.

Why would Dennis sign his extension next offseason when he's a RFA if we going to bring Paul in. He'll just sign his QO and become a full free agent the next season and bolt. He wants to start and Bud has given him the nod - try taking that away he's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators macdaddy Posted July 15, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 I thought you were joking. Haven't we already tried a wake forest PG coexisting with Dennis and decided it didn't work? Paul isn't comnig here. At least not as long as Dennis is here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis already established that he wants to be the starter, hence the Teague trade. He's not going to be thrilled to take a back seat yet again, so we couldn't count on him staying around here. CP is on his way downhill, and I think Dennis will catch and pass him within the next couple of years. I know I have critiqued Dennis for making bone-headed plays, but still I recognize his talent. I'd much rather have Dennis playing for us than CP. To me, CP has been declining noticeably over the last two seasons. That's just me though.

It is a fun but not that meaningful stat. Step off, gigantor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, he will do that anyway... it makes no since to not become a UFA in this climate. Point is are you more loyal to Dennis and "the future" than you are to winning a championship NOW??? Let's just talk plain facts... Agree or disagree? CP3, Baze, Millsap, DHoward (all healthy) would give us the best shot at winning a title than this franchise has ever had?? IF you agree with that... then what's there to argue about? Sometimes, I think that Hawks fans are more interested in developing players and holding on to draftees than they are in winning championships.

Drummond, Beal were RFAs this year - no need for them to become UFA when there team wants to keep them as starters. He won't become an UFA unless we decide to put him back on the bench. The cap at $109 next season as a RFA he still can get a max of 25%. I think you are confusing some issues here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF Dwight, Baze, and Paul have had good years, we would be fools to say... No CP3.. No thank you.. We got this kid Dennis that we're still trying to develop into a star. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFuzz Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 I know this board has an irrational hatred of CP3, but the dude will go down as one of the best PGs ever. Not his fault he had David West as his second best player for a long time and now is on a Clips team horribly run Doc and shallow as all get out. If we have an opportunity to get Paul we take it and run. He's the complete package at PG, and will be great for the next 5 years or so a la Nash and Kidd. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So cp3, baze, sap, howard is better than the clippers team's of the last 2 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
