AJ is a lost cause. If we can get something like Grimes for him it would be an absolute coup. 

Like I said, his history of being very emotional and posting content that later gets deleted isn’t the question. It’s whether you interpret what he said as just being passionate and heated in the moment or actually a personality problem. A lot of otherwise really smart, well intentioned people need to just stay off social media because they don’t realize how much trouble they can get themselves in when trying to make a point with limited characters and emotions flowing.

@JeffS17

About those twitter back and fourths that you said that DJ took part in...  do you have a link to those?  Do you have anything that proves that they exist?  Or are you just carrying a narrative that somebody else said?

 

They’re not hard to find if you search. It’s not up for serious debate that he got into it with someone on twitter and subsequently deleted the interaction. The real question is how big of a deal you think it is. 

Getting Claxton would be nice. 

I’m speculating that this means there’s a deal on the verge of happening.

EXPECTING TOO MUCH!

Hawk fans, including me, have been expecting too much for Murray.  If the Hawks can grab a young starter and some extra, perhaps a handful of 2nd round picks, we should be happy.

Crazy?  Not if we get a real starter who is young, this is almost an even trade.  Do I believe this is the total worth of our all-star PG?  Yep.  Naturally, this young starter must be a really good player, not a borderline starter.  He might become a starter, or he has the potential to start.  

Hawks lose a starter.  Hawks gain a starter.  Draft picks, future 1st or 2nd round picks are a bonus to Atlanta because we are losing an all-star player on a very reasonable contract.

 

It’s got to be a quality starter with upside and still at least one first round pick. Anything less is giving in to player/agent pressure.

What makes me scratch my head is that he knew Trae was here when he enthusiastically embraced the trade here and then he resigned for four years instead of becoming an UFA.  That is knowingly buying into the situation where you are the team’s shooting guard.  To now hear he was already frustrated not playing PG when he signed the sub-market extension is a real head scratcher.

It is like buying a compact car and then complaining because you can’t see past the SUV in front of you.  That was a given when you bought the car right?

Couldn’t have said it better myself. He’s certainly showing his true colors. Very sad. 

This franchise man.

Barring us actually receiving a really good offer which I have yet to see, I think this goes through until summer. DJ may want out but I think he’ll suck it up and play out this season for us if it comes down to it. I do think we make at least one move before the deadline, hopefully getting something for Bey. Dude has been absolutely terrible. 
 

If Murray does go to the Lakers, I think a 3rd team is involved. DLo next to Trae makes ZERO sense.

Thinking the rapture coming is hatred?  

In and of itself, it’s just religious propaganda. But take into account the tone of all AJ’s tweets about religion (some of which he deleted) and he’s the kind of Christian that makes me think he’s an extremist with a hateful heart. A few nice lovey Jesusy tweets don’t fool me.

Remember during preseason stories were coming out about how Griffin was rubbing players the wrong way, and then Terry Stotts quit out of nowhere? Something was going on in that locker room.

They probably Mark Jacksoned him.. lol

I’m starting to think the Griffin family is nuts. With AJ tweets about the rapture coming, Beyonce being a product of satan, and all the extreme proselytizing he does, one has to wonder what went on in their upbringing to make him believe and spout such hatred ignorance. 

I'm going to give Snyder at least a full season before even beginning to compare the two.

If we can get to 12, that’s cool. It’s got to be 2 more though. 

Yeah this was expected.  Good dude with potential. Best wishes to him. 

I need at least one more player for the league.  Can a mod temporarily make this a main forum topic for a minute so more might see it? @AHF

Alright people.  We have up to 4 spots available in the Fantasy Football League, Squawk This Way!!!(potentially more if there's a big demand). So I'm hoping to find at least 4 new team managers for this league.  It's a pretty fun league we've had going for several years now so here's your chance.  My only requests are that you actually be active team managers and of course don't be a douche.  So LET'S F'IN GO!!!

@Spud2nique

With all these hot and juicy rumors swirling, I couldn’t resist checking out the banter. I’m thinking that at the end of tomorrow, we’re going to see Cason Wallace a Hawk. The question is will we trade Capela or JC to ensure we get him or gamble that he’s there at 15. 

Siakam is a free agent next after next year. Just say no to one year rentals that don’t make you instant championship favorites.

So @AHF and @Spud2nique  I’m sorry that the championship was basically voided due to the unforeseen circumstances. While fantasy is completely insignificant compared to what happened, I still think I should ask you guys if you are okay with the notion of going by what the projected score would have been. Meaning AHF is champion by the 117.18 - 115.93 projected score. I was hoping I could use commissioner tools to just have you guys battle it out this week (week 18) but yahoo won’t let me do that. It could be that neither one of you guys are that concerned about it but as commissioner, I thought I’d throw this out there as the possible official ending. Thoughts?

I am not sure who the commish is here but please find someone else to take my spot next season. I don't really want to play fantasy football again. I've had way too many year after year after year of losing due to injuries and not because I didn't draft well or keep up with my team. Not worth the headache. Thanks for the fun guys.

Sorry you’re not wanting to continue but I get it.  Thanks for the active participation all these years. 

So sorry for your family’s loss. We’re thinking about you!

So as many as possibly 4 teams in the league are not being actively managed. I’m not sure what happened but I’m looking to get some fresh blood in the league to keep it fun and worth everyone’s time. If anyone is interested in taking over for the teams that are currently not being actively managed, please post here and I’ll make it happen. I’ve never had to do this as commissioner but I’m pretty sure it can be done in yahoo without too much trouble. Thanks!
