A trade will mostly happen in the next 24 hours. Billy Knight will get youth. Either a draft pick or Darko, the hawks will get some kind of investement for the future.

I'm curious whether or not Billy Knight can pry Darko from detroit.

Aldridge was saying that Sheed will be going. He won't be going to the knicks, but most likely Detroit. He said Detroit is willing to take the chance for Sheed's services for a few months. Detroit is wanting to resign Okur (sp?)...i just saw it on tv...comments!

Buy! Sheed's Value is high....teams are looking for that extra piece(sheed) to help them in the playoffs. It's perfect timing. Last thing we need is Sheed playing and injures himself and tears a ligament.

Jay, New Management wants to clean house. They might as well be consistent with their game plan. JT has his issues whether or not he's a PG or a SG. The Hawks tried to complement Terry but the experiment failed. They might as well trade their assets and gain value while they still have it. A package of Terry/Sheed would bring in promising prospects and draft picks. My only concern is whether or not the Hawks will be competitive in 3 years?!??!?! Will the Hawks showcase a new and upcoming team to lure respectable free agents? I hope management/Billy Knight thought this whole process through.

Archie, I would love to have Darko. I hope Billy has a plan because we have all these expiring contracts and no picks (except the second rounder) or any prospects for the future. A Darko trade would brighten my day! Count me in!

The Top free agents and rookie class I want: Free agents: Kobe Bryant Stromile Swift Kenyon Martin Carlos Boozer Rookies: Dwight Howard 6-10 PF Emeka Okafor 6-9 PF Josh Smith 6-8 SF Luol Deng 6-8 SF Pavel Podkolzine 7-5 Any would be awesome to have? Thoughts?

There has to be more to this trade than we think. Not too long ago, the hawks were invisible in the rumor mill. I believe Knight has made a lot of calls, and there is a team/or 2 that waited for the Hawks move. I think there's more to this trade. I think Knight is not only wanting to splash for free agency, I think he's targeting a young stud basketball player combined with a pick for Wallace...but which team? The other alternative is the Hawks play out the season in hopes for free agency.

Out of curiosity? You think there is more to this deal...you think Knight has another trade in the works? I'm disappointed that the hawks couldn't get a conditional 1st round pick with this trade. It doesn't make sense unless the Hawks are confident that we'll have free agents wanting to sign with us in the offseason...that's a big IF.

Tell me this...Wallace is going to walk this summer. The Hawks will be big players in free agency; however, is the city of Atlanta enough to bring in high profile free agents? It's obvious that history proves how other teams gambled with free agency ala Chicago to bring in high profile free agents. I hope that new ownership has a secret game plan that has been in the works for months because last I want is another dominque/danny manny trade. This is what I hope for the future...! JT Kobe Jackson ? Nazr

I just heard on ESPN that the Hawks traded Dan Dickau/Theo/Reef for Rasheed Wallace and Wesley Person Check ESPN!

Want to look at the close up...! http://www.drudgereport.com/

Vick was on the cover for Madden2004...he's injured. Heatley was also on the cover for hockey...horrific accident, and God bless Snyder and his family. Two ATL phenoms, both injured. I know other famous athletes who were on the cover of video games and got injured. What about the Braves? yeah what about them? I mean 12 consevutive winning seasons and dominating their division, respectively. And to show it alll, one world series ring. I heard the braves indian theme song is the reason they aren't winning...somekind of indian curse...that's what i heard... What about our precious hawks...what's their curse...I'll tell ya...management! I know we flushed out old management, but will the Hawks drown in the new established management, or float into success. I'm not sure what's going on, but I hope things turn around for the atlanta hawks. I'm bored, and I havn't posted in forever...any thoughts gentlemen or ladies...

Bump!

If we sign JT, how many roster spots are open? I'm wondering if there is a chance we will sign DJ? I'm just curious to who the hawks will pick up with our roster vacancies. Comments are welcomed

So let me get this straight, we traded Terrell Brandon for these reasons: 1. Cap relief 2. Ability to sign JT, DJ, Darrell Armstrong, Kenny Anderson 3. Big time players for free agency in 2005 however, the biggest question I have is whether or not Terrell Brandon will play for the Hawks? Will the the Hawks buy out his contract? I'm just curious if there is more to this story than we know. I would greatly appreciate your comments.

hey, I just woke up. My roommate confirms that he heard the news also. The Hawks get Terrell Brandon?!?? I thought that guy retired due to injuries. I know the guy was really good when he was healthy, but it's been such a long time since he played a full season.

If the Clippers match an offer shee for Brand, Miami will go after Lamar Odom. Also, I think the Clippers are in a pretty bad situation. Half their roster might not even be there next year. They have so much talent, but I think there is so much negativity and animosity in that clubhouse that no one wants to stay and play for the Clips.

I think Diaw will improve and show the scouts that he is capable of improving his game another notch. The reason is say this is that the work ethics of Terry, Reef, and Theo will make him a better player. I will wait and see how he pans out, but I believe this is a good pick.

In my room with my tv on espn and updating my hawksquawk.net. By the way, it's great to see all the posts happening. Gives me a reason to go online.

I'll in my room with my door shut! I'll surround myself pizza and sprite. If the Hawks have a horrible draftnight, I might consider drinking some Corona. Other than that, I wish the Hawks luck. Also, I'll be turning 21 this year, maybe the hawks will give me some luck this year. What about you guys?

IF the Timerberwolves do not make the playoffs, do you think Kevin Garnett will get traded? The Timerwolves would benefit in trading Garnett for some prominent younger players and draft picks; however, I'm having a difficult time figuring out which NBA team would trade with Minnesota. This is what I came up with... ____________________________________________________________ The Timbewolves would trade with the Bulls: Jay Williams/Jalen Rose/Eddie Robinson/Donyell Marhall/Marcus Fizer for Kevin Garnett. *Again, I'm not sure if salary works and if the Timberwolves would even consider these players; however, I would love to hear your opinions. ___________________________________________________________ The Timberwolves would trade with the Pacers: Ron Artest/Jermaine O'neal/Ron Mercer/Jamal Tinsley for Kevin Garnett **Again, I'm not sure if salary works and if the Timberwolves would even consider these players; however, I would love to hear your opinions. Again, I would like to hear your insight.

Do you think Karl Malone will play for the Lakers next year? Can you imagine a line up of... Shaq Kobe Malone Fox Fisher

Great Post Jay! You made some nice assessments with each player, management, and the organization as a whole; however, I'm looking forward to what you will write about in the offseason. Honestly, I'm not excited about this offseason. 1- Jt's contract 2- Ira's contract 3- Dion's contract 4- DJ's contract 5- Draft (Sucks that we'll lose our lottery pick) 6- Will we trade big dawg? 7- Lucky number 7: What free agents would sign with the hawks? 8- Will the Hawks be a playoff team next year? I would love to be optimistic. Really, I do! I'm just worried that we might be looking at a lot of new faces next year. For better or for worse, I sure hope the Hawks make the right moves!
