Source on this is good. Not much more I can say for someone who doesn't post much on here, but figured y'all would be interested. Draft: The Hawks had Payne ranked #12 on their board. They like him but really wanted Saric. They thought about trading up for him but decided against it. They are very excited for Tavares. They had him ranked 19. FA: As has been reported, the Hawks are going to push as hard as they can for Melo or LeBron. Not much expectation anything will happen but they're going to try. Current team: Budenholzer and Ferry are incredibly encouraged about the chemistry with the team. Apparently everyone except Lou Williams has been doing voluntary team workouts every day. They have never seen a team this close before. Trades: The biggest idea being kicked around is Horford for Klay Thompson. Not sure if I'd want that and neither are they.

These are $140 combined face value, also with a parking pass that is worth $20. I'll take $100 for everything. e-mail me at: jdu00743@gmail.com

Hey guys, sorry if this topic has been discussed a lot already...I haven't been on here in a while, just wanted to know if our names are popping up in any potential trades? I haven't seen the Hawks mentioned once in a trade scenario on ESPN or any other place...Maybe I just haven't been following it closely enough!

I think at this point, we have to assume Acie Law is not an option, given his lack of playing time. With Bibby becoming a FA, what should we do? Sign him to an extension? If so, to how long of a contract? He's getting old. Are there any good FA PG's this coming offseason?

I just got 4 tickets to the Hawks-Celtics game on the 17th! :line dance:

I am not ready to pronounce us as "arrived" yet, but I do have a good feeling about this team. I honestly think Marvin developing a 3 point shot opens up the court SO much more. Woody's coaching has been fantastic so far, as well. He has a great defensive mind. Here's to hoping we keep it up!

100% absolutely agree. Marvin being able to stretch the court is HUGE!!! REALLY opens up our offense.

How freaking awesome was that intro video that they had put together and showed before the games? It is real rough in this clip, but I had forgotten about it until I ran across this.

Happy Birthday, Graymule! Great to hear you are doing well.

So, obvious, stupid question.... Now we have Josh Smith for the next 5 years under contract at $58M?

Hahaha...Good one, man.

Josh Smith/Marvin Williams/ 2010 1st round pick for Greg Oden.

Who do you recommend SNT'ing him for? My dream is Kaman, but obviously that isn't going to happen.

Thanks for all the options!

Who are the big free agents that year? Seems to me that with Bibby coming off the books (15M), we will have a whole lot of money to play around with. I know Marvin will be an RFA...Unless he improves a lot, I'm fine SNT'ing him for draft picks or whatever if we could get a really good FA in here in his place. [ COUGH ] Ron Artest [ COUGH ]
