Thats interesting since we are one of his main suitors......

 

Either he is getting more than we have thought, therefore hurting our chances for a guy like Deng, or we have something in the wings that Bazemore has to wait on

Or, like all of Ferry's moves.. we have no idea if we even have interest in him.

Let me just ask you this: even if we get Deng, do you seriously think that Hawks team has a legit chance of winning a title? Be honest.

Yes.

I will be very upset if they sign him with any contract greater than 32M/yr, for 8 years.

Have voiced that same opinion.  Maybe its a mis-direction play to cover his real plan?> 

Ninjas do toss out smoke bombs to cover their moves.  It's true.

Does the title of this topic not make you guys think of Goldberg back in the day?  Man I used to love me some WWE/F back in the day.

Me too.  I stopped watching back when the WCW fell apart, but started again with the WWE last year.  Some decent talent, but it'll never be as good as it was.  (Also, I'm in my mid-30s now.  That might have something to do with it.)

A blast from the past.............nice distraction from the insanity of FA.  Who was the coach.

 It looks like that was the season Kruger was replaced, so Stotts?

By the way, JaJuan, that is probably the best first Hawks game anyone could see.   It's still my favorite game!

Well, the problem is definitely a multifaceted one.  I think the biggest factor is probably the ownership.

I'm at the point now where if there's a rumor about a Danny Ferry move, that probably means it's false.   He's a ninja.

Vet min???? That's just ludicrous.  Or ludacrisp, if you're a Tyson fan.

Hm, I should be in that gif.  I need to find a higher rez version!   At the time, I sat in row B, very close to center court behind the Hawks players side.      That game was also fun for me because I got a little too tipsy, heckled Jordan, and a ref (forget who it was, not one of the 'big name' refs) told me to sit down.

I think about that game alllll the time.  The home crowd also booed Reef during his FTs, and after the game Reef said something about "well I hope they got their money's worth."  Very weird, fun, kind of sad game.

This thread brought me out of retirement, btw.  Let me know how many people have their accounts deleted, I'll promise to more than replace their post production.

Danny Ferry traded Marvin and Joe. What more could you possibly want from the man? He's not a sorcerer.

YESPLS

I've used it before and it's just not the same quality and I have gotten some stuff from there that was hard to detect on the Mac. I would only use a free streaming site as an only resort for something I really don't want to miss live.

What did you get?

Yeah, he edited it after I called him out on the Twitters. :) He's a good sport, though, to be honest, and usually fair. And I get that he was just speaking generally there.

"Which lottery team made the biggest free-agency splash?

Sekou Smith, NBA.com: Dallas, Cleveland and Atlanta swung for the fences and came up a bit short. And I love what the Minnesota Timberwolves and New Orleans Pelicans did to bolster their rosters via trade and free agency. The Detroit Pistons, however .. "

One of these things is not like the other, Sekou. Six years in the playoffs and we're still considered a lottery team?

I don't really get how he can forcibly export Muscles.

Second unit front court of Brand, Ivan, and DMC. That would be so nasty.

Umlaut/Sweet Lou/Junkyard/Ivan/Brand is a killer second unit all around.

It seems like Ferry's moves have been based in heavy analytics, so with that and a strong coach we could all be very surprised. Still not thinking we'll be better than Miami, Indy, Chicago, Brooklyn, or NY though. Might be a few other sleeper teams out there too.

Miami for sure.

Indy? I think they overachieved last year.

Chicago? Total unknown.

Brooklyn? The ultimate 'on paper' team.

NY? Definitely got worse, plus now JR Smith's out for months.

I think ATL improved about 5 games' worth with Millsap, getting Lou back (though who knows if he'll be as good as he was) and Brand.

My right-now prediction is 49 wins, #2 seed.

98! That's just unrealistic bro!........I say 96-2 that's very doable.

Nah. Undefeated regular season and playoffs. 98 wins. You heard it here first!

98 wins and an NBA Championship.

World's Best Boss could be slotted at SF a lot this season. Ivan could still get minutes! Plus you always need an enforcer.
