Seriously why is there so much Ken Norman hate on this site he was a solid player before he got hurt unlike Cris Crawford who got a 7 year deal off one 30point game against the Knicks. WTF Ken Norman had solid stats every year unitl the injury, Crawford never even averaged 10PPG or started 30 games in a season, he wasnt even very good in college.

Cris Crawford was injured every five minutes and nobody says anthing about him, but Ken Norman gets injured and he's the anti-christ

That was terrible!

The reason these men didnt make my list......because Manning was the first to show the buffoon that Babcock was, yeah he gave Konkak the contract but Detroit offered him the same money$$$ so he wasnt alone. But Manning showed that during possibly their bestseason ever he would trade one of the 5 best offensive players of all-time for a sloppy looking balding notalent hack like Manning. Isaih Rider didnt want to be a hawk ut how much sense does it make to trade your best player for a mal-content and then make the mal-content look like some kind of psycho, he was putting up 25PPG, just keep the ruckus silent and trafde him, did you see Indiana trying to make Ron Artest look bad before they could trade him. Reef was put in a no win position he was a great send option type player, the hawks needed a star to be the Jordan to Reef's pippen, he put up 20/10 every year and was one of the more efficent players in the league. I gaurantee if he had been doing that for another team we would be whining about how we should have him.

Management 1. Bob Weiss 2. The Atlanta Spirit, LLC 3. Pete Babcock 4. Lon Kruger 5. Time Warner Players #1 Cris(tina) Crawford #2 Jon (Contract) Konkak #3 Toni Kukoc #4 Dan Dickau #5 Adam Keefe I think these choses are self explanatory

Here is my second list of Bozos and clowns 1. Bob Weiss 2. Kevin Loughery 3. Pete Babcock 4. Lon Kruger

Atlanta, Ga , 3 months out of the year in Washington D.C. , and 1 month in Lagos, Nigeria

The Worst Hawks of all time are #1 Cris(tina) Crawford #2 Jon (Contract) Konkak #3 Toni Kukoc #4 Dan Dickau #5 Adam Keefe

Even with Dalembert we are still several million nder cap. The problem is we have a buch of SF/PF combo players S.Williams is a Center in a PF body. M. Williams is a SF in a PF body. J.Smith is a PF in a SF body. Chillz is a SG in a malnourished body. J. Johnson is a SG that thinks he is a PG. ith Diop and Daly they play solid D get rebounds and a suited to play Center. I am tired of all these combo players.

Dirk was in the finals --- And he embarassed himself and his team with his flopping and general lack of heart. We got a bunch of bozos from some country club to buy the team not a one of them with a grain of sense, when I said they were clowns you said I was racist. ----- Now we are a laughing stock You wanted to get rid of AL ---- We did and got next to nothing in return You wanted a second rate big man and we got that fraud Lorenzen Wright for the second time. Long story short ---- Dont Diop and Dalambert look like good options for this team now?

Say what you want but I have been correct in identifying talent and calling out crap players I said Bogut would be a scrub and he is. I said Chris Paul would be a stud and he is. I even said Tayshawn Prince would be a star before he was drafted and he is. Look at all my post I have been right 99% ofd the time. The only time I was wrong was when I though that Big Hog Robinson would turn us into a playoff team. But I at least credit myself for bashing him a year before that.

I dont hate Dirk I am annoyed by the way people ride his jock and pretend he is the greatest player in history. He is a decent player but no superstar.

I wouldnt give up a 2nd rounder for Stephen Jackson but that is what Billy Knight got, look all the Jeff Foster & Troy Murphy trades for Al didnt make sense. Both of those players are over priced crap, so BK will get a couple of 1st rounders. And dont forget we gave up Stephen Jackson to get Al. So fundamentally we got 2 - 1st rounders for Stephen Jackson. Not a bad deal in the long run. Plus consider other than a solid defensive 7 footer this team has all the tools it need to win. Let the young guns run.

I have said it multiple time Dirk is an above average player not a superstar, as witness in his meltdown and complete reliance on JT in the finals. Anyway you all know I have called out everyone who sucks so this year J.J.Reddick and that crybaby out of Gonzaga will prove to be complete crap @ best they will average a combined 25PPG and play no defense Diop will be a superstar in 2 years time and O'Bryant will be a star in 3. ISAIH WILL Lead the KNICKS INTO THE PLAYOFFS BYRON SCOTT WILL LEAD THE HORNETS INTO THE PLAYOFFS AVERY JOHNSON & DO RIVERS will prove to be the best coaches in basketball. Kobe will continue to be a ball hogging Whore and ......I'm out

When i read your first post I didnt see that you were all over the board calling peopl infidels and issuing ftwahs. This isnt funny, Its not cool to mock people religions, its at best sophmoric at worst bigotry. Please stop with the jokes against Islam and take that ridiculous anti-muslim pic down from your profile.

That is one of the reasons I dont frequent this site often anymore, bigotry is tolerated and embrassed. I am sorry someone would wish death and destruction upon people they dont even know just to make a point on a basketball site. That is a disgusting statement made by a coward who probably would cry himself to sleep everynight if he even witnessed a single death.

He may not play like one but he is the same height, Dirk plays like a tacky Shooting Gaurd/Small Forward yet he plays Center and Power Forward. Whats the difference.

Elton Brand is tough defender, and hard nosed player with constent numbers. He is always in a position were he has to carry his sorry teammates versus Dirk who is surrounded by qaulity players who have to carry him when times get tough. And I still state I hate 7'footers that think they are point gaurds.

Okay so I am a bit torn because I believe in Billy Knight, he makes pretty good decisions but the past couple of weeks I am starting to think he is a bit off. Yeah he has collected alot of talent but I will be damned if all of them dont play the same position. Everyone from Joe Johnson to Sheldon Williams either used to or could play Small Forward. Lets go doen the list. S.Williams 6-8;M.Williams 6-9; J.Smith 6-9; J.Childress 6-7; J.Johnson 6-6; ---Harrington 6-9. I mean seriously did he have somekinda epiphany and say "I know I'll have a team of Small forwards .... Yeah that'll F@ck'em up" Shhhh even that Zaza characteris a small forward that grew a couple of inches too high because God only knows he's not a center I am retracting my statement from before the draft S.Williams will be a decent pro but not if he plays center...there is only one Ben Wallace.

Okay I havent been here much lately, but I just want to point out Dirk's meteoric collapse. JT carried that team in the finals. Dirk does this every year when the going get tough Dirk turns to crap.

Quote: If he was WHITE he wouldn't be getting all of the love that he is getting. WTF! Kinda Dumb@ss statement is that. Yeah we all know white people and the general public just bend over backward for black people. I was in the bank yesterday and they handed me $100,000 and said " Thank You for your Blackness "

We need a legit big man, we already have Josh Smith so why are we drafting a lesser version of him to give us an interior presesnce I think Sheldon must be a smoke screen Billy Knight is alot of things but crazy isnt one of them.

The profesionals all agree - Mike Woodson " We didnt have any defensive presence in the interior....we gave up more layups than any other team" BHD " Zaza isnt enough we need a major defensive presence" BHD " Euro players flop around all game long" ESPN Radio " Euro players flop around all game long" BHD " Dirk is soft " ESPN Radio " Dirk is soft" Anyway drafting Sheldon Williams will be a huge mistake, if We need a true 7 footer. I say it again O'Bryant is the steal of the draft. And none of the PGs this year are close to being another Chris Paul. See ya after the draft.
