Blunt91 Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Last season the Hawks showed appreciation for Teague, Korver, & Horford when they had their 1st game back at Phillips Arena. I am sure Millsap will get this treatment and probably Thabo as well. My question is should they do a Dwight tribute @ Phillips when he had his 1st game back in the ATL or should they do nothing and act Like he never was part of this team?

noble Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 For one season? My guess would be no. But hey they will need to find ways to get butts in the seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecampster Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Biggest Dwight supporter on the board, but he wasn't here long enough to be due that. Those nights are reserved for people who accomplish something special with the franchise. Josh meant much more to the Hawks than Dwight for example.....as did Kyle (his streak). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted July 21, 2017 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Teague and Horf were allstars and Korver broke the 3pt effeciency record with us. Dwight was not appreciated while he was here, why should we appreciate him now that he's gone? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunt91 Posted July 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Yeah they probably only did it for the crew who was with the team during the 60 win season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) I went to Joe Johnson's first game after he was traded and I don't remember any tribute, though many fans including me did give him a warm welcome. However, the honoring of past players has sort of become a thing in the past few years. I suspect they won't honor Dwight. He was here for a year and his departure was controversial. Team might rather people forgot about all that. Edited July 21, 2017 by Randy add something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Dwight does not deserve an appreciation night. He's trash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnice Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Not really, as said here just for a season, he and Tim got shout outs I believe when those transactions were final from Hawk social media. I don't see a video tribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazer Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Maybe some loud applause from the hometown crowd for the hometown boy but that's about all I expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benhillboy Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Judging by how his season in Charlotte is going he needs to make a Hawks Appreciation Video: The Hornets get a rare national game tonight versus the Warriors of all teams. Should make for some good laughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff_Man Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) It would be great! They can show highlights of him lazily bending at the waist for loose balls, casually jogging down the floor getting back, unnecessarily blocking shots into the stands, and leaving his man to sell out for block and rebound stats! So many memories. Edited December 7, 2017 by Duff_Man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Sothron Posted December 7, 2017 Premium Member Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 No, he was not here long enough for that. He got a raw deal by the Hawks, don't see them changing that now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this but even more likely.. Because he's still under contract, the ownership would be sorta admitting to either tanking or making a mistake if they gave an appreciation program.

Sad. Because he's not. We were the ones that traded him and tried to devalue him to make the trade seem like it made sense. So now a false narrative is put out there and fans eat it like candy. I even heard some fans buy into the false narrative that he was a cancer in the lockerroom. Farthest from the truth. But the false narrative was put out there to justify a dumb trade... and Hawks fans eat it like candy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Was on our roster in one underachieving season. We went out of the first round pretty much with a whimper so nothing there to hang his hat on and certainly not here long enough for a highlight film devoted to him at our place.
