I mean who are you waiting for? Ray Allen is not walking through that door, Klay Thompson is not walking through that door.....Some hawks fans dont get it - you want to go back to 2006 when we were hoping for a lottery win and couldn't get one free agent to come to ATL...With that said i agree the deal is slightly higher than i thought, but locking up Dennis and THJ, our backcourt for the next 4 years is a great idea. Then use the draft to find a future star PF, C or even more assets. This is CHESS not checkers I would have liked to see THJ staying on the Hawks. But since Baze isn't a real SF - I'd say he is a SG too - you can't spend $33M per on one position - unless it's a star. That's the reason we didn't keep Jeff. If we somehow get rid of Baze I would be fine with matching. But two bad contracts - especially at one position? No thanks... BTW Chess means to think in advance have more than one plan and stay flexible to be able to react to every move. What's your plan if we don't draft studs on PF and C? If that's the only plan it's not even checkers. It's marbles... Edited July 7, 2017 by rd79 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Diesel Posted July 7, 2017 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 The GM of the Knicks just staked his Reputation on THJr's upward momentum. It's sad that he believes in THJr while we believe in Flexibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AUhawksfan Posted July 7, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 I know people are blaming Schlenk for the deconstruction but I blame Budcox for this one. If we had let Baze go to Houston and not signed Dwight period, this would be an easy match in my opinion but since we're stuck with the Baze gaze we have to pass. I mean look at it this way.....at least we're not the Knicks. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REHawksFan Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) I really like THJ and wanted the Hawks to match whatever offer he was given, BUT I must admit the magnitude of this offer was something I wasn't expecting. I sort of thought $15 Mil a year would be the "aggressive" deal someone like the Nets or Knicks would make. $17.75M/Yr is really tough when you consider you are paying Baze ~$17M, Jamal ~$14.25M, and Plumlee ~$12.5M. If they match THJ they'd have ~63% of the CAP tied up in those 4 players and 3 of them aren't even starter quality for a playoff team (THJ is even questionable as a playoff team starter, imo). Not only that, but Jamal's is the only contract that they could be easily rid of after this year. Baze and Plumlee both have 3 yrs left on their deals. IF they have a plan to move Baze or Plumlee, then I'd be OK with matching THJ (but it would still be a bad contract and would go against what Schlenk has said he would do). I'd prefer not to lose THJ but damn, what the hell were the Knicks thinking. Edited July 7, 2017 by REHawksFan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd79 Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) @Diesel why do you open a topic for every thought you have? Why not just answer the topic we already have about the THJ offer sheet? No offense, I'm just curious about that... Edited July 7, 2017 by rd79 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deester11 Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 The Knick fans are praying we match that offer. H3ll no! Baze was enough stupidity..we have Budcox to thank, not Schlenk. Let's do this..Um rebuild right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this GM wouldn't even give Millsap a deal at all why would he waste almost 20 million a year on a chucker that can't defend, rebound or pass?

We gotta spend money on someone Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Minimum is something around 89 million. I was under the impression the Hawks had no room because they haven't renounced Muscala, Hump, and Thabo. I think the Hawks are maxed out and don't actually need to spend anymore money.

Moderators Popular Post PSSSHHHRRR87 Posted July 7, 2017 Moderators Popular Post Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 Good for TH Jr, but I do feel a little used... It's like the Knicks shipped off TH Jr to Bud's summer camp and now they're picking him up. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
