We live in the era of Free Agency...there is no such thing as long term. We live in the era of 3-5 year pockets.

Quote: Quote: And that trade improved us how? Our record has gone down since then. Umm we traded away Sar theo Terry before AL came here and we startet rebuilding smart ass Oh yeah you are new so you don't know what happened 2-3 years ago my bad. What in the hell does my status on this board have to do with my knowledge of Hawks history...stupid azz

And that trade improved us how? Our record has gone down since then.

Quote: If a team wants him, they are going to have to go through Atlanta to get him. Al isn't going to take 15% less and 1 year less than what the Hawks can give him in a sign and trade deal. If he doesn't take less then we are fukked because I don't want him on the team, period.

If there isn't anything good yesterday then what in the hell makes you think that there will be something good in the offseason? WHEN AL IS UNRESTRICTED!!!!!

Quote: Yeah - lets be just like New York and actually lose more games than the Hawks while locking the team into overpriced losers. That would be awesome. Can you imagine how good it would feel to see the Hawks combining the natural blend of talents that is Marbury, Fracis, Richardson, and Crawford or the tough interior D and rebounding skills of Curry? That would be great. It would be even better if we could give our top 3 draft pick this year to another team like the Knicks are going to do with Chicago. Too bad we are stuck with the youngest roster in the league and roster flexibility. Guys like Josh Smith and Marvin Williams are never going to get better or amount to anything. Salary cap space doesn't mean sh*t. No team has ever won a championship by clearing out a lot of cap space...that is the LA Clippers mentality, and after 30 years they finally got tired of it. Eventually you have to spend money and trade for veterans. We cant win with 10 22 year olds.

What are we building exactly? I don't see a hall of fame point guard on our roster currently.

we will be the only team not to be televised

Quote: There are people on here that probably think Al Harrington straight up for Michael Sweetney or Malik Allen is probably a good trade. It is a fact that the Hawks will get more value via a sign and trade this offseason. Hey Hannity, what part of unrestricted can't you understand? We have no control of where Al goes. He can decide to go to LA for the MLE if he wants to. If Chi-town offers him 50 million dollars...guess what, he's gone. If we offer him 60 million dollars and he stays...guess what? We just pulled a Jon Koncak and we are stuck with his overpaid azz for the next 5 years. Basically Billy Knight blew it. We will win 25 games next year..fire Woodson and you and Diesel and Lascar will be on here talking about "Be patient...it has only been 36 months...he had to get rid of cap room for the 2007 offseason." And when none of those FA come here then you all will say. "It isn't BK's fault that no one wanted to come here." Complacent azz..They won't accept that bullsh*t up in NYC and we shouldn't down here, but our fanbase, and our newspaper are some apathetic pieces of sh*t.

Quote: well oh my goodness...i'm so so sorry for having my stats not up to par..i am just soooo glad you corrected my there Mr. Exoclopedia... stick this in your stat machine: WE ARE A MUCH BETTER TEAM THAN WE WERE LAST YEAR WITH THE YOUNGEST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE AND WILL DOUBLE LAST YEAR'S WIN TOTAL.... how's that..accurate enough for your dissection?..oh and again, the 25 games you're figuring out says we'll go on another terrible run like we did to start the season.. the point is this: so many people who DON'T work even close to a basketball or have ANY knowledge whatsoever what conversations are being made are calling for the head of a guy who has rid us of a bad cap situation, overplayed players..and got us good young players and a team that is greatly improving...all this 4yearold little girl whining is ridiculous... Excuses are the tools of the incompetent. Who cares about the cap situation...we weren't like the damn knicks. He sucked as a GM wherever he has been and he stinks here. Give that dude a haircut and fire his azz pronto.

Quote: Those fans simply don't realize that the Hawks have positioned themselves to win anywhere from 25 to 32 games this season, which is a 12 to 19 game improvement. Those fans also don't realize that the two most improved teams from last season are the Hawks and the Hornets based on the projections for wins each team has this season. Those fans would rather have Billy Knight make a stupid trade just for the sake of making a trade. These idiots would rather take back much less value for Al Harrington just to get rid of him, for whatever reason. To each his own though. Hey Hannity we haven't positioned ourselves to win Sh*t. Am I supposed to be crunk about winning 25 games? NOK is going to the playoffs with PJ brown and David West and I am supposed to be happy about an effin measly 25 games? Pulease

And don't forget 2 consecutive 23 win seasons. No championships or even playoff appearances as a GM. He stinks, he should be drawed a quartered in the middle of Phillips arena.
