Who knows.. maybe if we didn't lose Lou and Zaza...

Dave Berri & the Wins Produced guys love the Hawks so far for this next season. I think this is very premature, wishful thinking, etc, but it at least gives me hope for a better-than-expected performance: On a related note, I recommend that everyone who's into math, sports and other nerdery read Berri's two books ("Wages of Wins," "Stumbling On Wins") and Dean Oliver's "Basketball on Paper." It's very much a 'taking the red pill' experience.

I disagree with the premise that it's a nightmare.

I'd give Teague 5x9 and call it a day.

See how the season starts, trade him at the deadline if it's a flop.

This reminds me, I was watching BKN-DET yesterday and the commentator (Kendall Gill, h/t Jason Walker for being there and knowing this stuff) brought up the Josh->Detroit move. He said that he could play SF in Detroit, that Atlanta played him there, and that he has the ability to hit the outside shot. He even implied that he was "tried out" at PF. I tweeted at Jason to go rip the mic out of his hands, but it was too late.

It's a very unique thing to say, that's for sure.

I have come to trust nothing the media says about the Hawks.

He actually did (does?) own a nightclub back home. I wonder if it's still in business.

Who cares how good he is? He fills the goofy-Euro void left by Zaza's departure.

If you're done, just be done. Don't be done-but-still-posting-constantly-to-tell-us-you're-done. Adios!

We probably have made him an offer, but we'd never know with this FO.

He has never, to my knowledge, committed acts of genocide or other crimes against humanity. He has both his arms and both his legs. He is probably better at offensive and defensive schemes than a polar bear or a wheel of cheese. He is not Andrea Bargnani.

Unless Horf is traded, giving us a Millsap-Pek frontline. Trade high!

I still see no indication that they've actually signed him. Holding out hope.

This is an excellent signing if the idea is to get as high a draft pick as possible next year.

I co-sign the 'transit is a barrier' comments.

This is why we could bring Alain Digbeu out of retirement, who we drafted in 1997. Right? :D

Can you explain this a little better to me? I've googled to no avail.

I never thought it worked like this, but I'm not too wise on this topic. The way I understood it, you draft a player and you have his rights -- doesn't mean you HAVE to offer him any sort of contract.

As of this exact moment -- leave overseas so we can sign Pek or something. After FA, I may change my response.

Normally I trash people who are fans of a player rather than a team, but you get not only a pass from me, but my commendations. Godspeed, and may the forehead be with you.

Pretty much any NBA wing can score points if you let them shoot -- Ellis is a good example of why you shouldn't do that.

Bwahaha! This should be in his scouting report. Succinct.
