  1. He's from Indiana and they gave him a 3-year deal. Plus there will probably be more minutes available for him on the Pacers. Not much we could do about that. Either way, we're trying to compete now and I think Patterson brings more to the table at this point. (If we end up going with one of our SL players)

     

    Patterson just doesnt have the atheltic ability that GR3 has...I really don't expect him to play much at all. 

  2. I keep reading this threads saying "We need a SF now that Demare is gone", but please keep in mind that no one was excited about our SF crop this time last season. We all thought Thabo would be the man and look how things turned out...

     

    With that said, GR3 was the type of player who always defended well in college at Michigan and he scored his points without plays being run for him...If we put him in a pass happy system like Atlanta, which coincidentally is what Michigan ran during his first two years and the team flourished.

     

    Now I'm not comparing college to NBA, but there has to be a reason Bud brought him in at the last minute. Hardaway Jr. and GR3 reunited in Atlanta could be a nice future...I hope he makes the team.

  3. Just for kicks, here are my early projections for next season.

     

    EAST

     

    1) Cleveland- another year to gel should help this team a ton, health is a concern but they have a monster frontcourt 

     

    2) Hawks- weaving in Splitter, Hardaway Jr; make take some time to develop chemistry, while figuring out how to make up for Carroll's departure, and overall team health (korver, thabo).

     

    3) Bulls - If they stay healthy will be very tough; if they stay healthy

     

    4) Miami- this team looks great on paper, can they stay healthy, do they have depth?

     

    5) Bucks - maybe poised for a break out year, especially if Parker gets back 100%

     

    6) Toronto- should be alot tougher with a lock down defender in Caroll

     

    7) Wizards - losing Pierce hurts, but they have one of the best backcourt's in the league -which will keep them in the hunt.

     

    8) Hornets- will fend off the Pacers for this spot, but it will come down to the wire.

     

     

    West

     

    1) Spurs - No debating this point after getting LMA

     

    2) Golden State - well they are the defending Champs but have you seen the Spurs starting 5.

     

    3) OKC- Westbrook, Durant & Ibaka oh my...can they stay healthy

     

    4) Memphis - blue collar team will be physical and tough as usual.  

     

    5) Mavericks- have to fix their pg position, but adding Deandre Jordan makes them relevant. 

     

    6) Rockets - They are not a well balance team but Harden, Howard should secure this spot

     

    7) Clippers- Now we will see how they play without a rim protector

     

    8) Pelicans- Anthony Davis is this good people, and he should be able to fend off the Suns & Trailblazers.

  4. I'm loving all the moves so far. Splitter has a good 4 years left of being 7 feet, and I like Hardaway's upside. Flexible, deserving deal for arguably the second most versatile 4 in the league who could possibly have his best year ahead, no gripes over here.

     

    So far this has been one of the best offseasons for the Hawks and we still have months before the season start. Splitter, knows the spurs way so he shouldnt miss a step. We still need a SF, which leads me to believe the Hawks may work on a package to go after Tobias Harris.

     

    In any case when it's all said and done we should be a top 3 team in the East. 

  5. I like all of our moves. People like Alex who habitually piss and moan and no matter what moves are made aren't going to be happy but as of now the team is better. I still think they unload Mack/Scott and sign a SF. 

     

    I agree, if the young guys improve, then we could have a great team by playoffs

  6. Thinking about it, with DMC gone and Korver's health, do we have the worst wing line-up in the league?

     

    Remember, we had Kelly Oubre.

     

    Oh great...a college player with no experience who would of  NOT SEEN THE FLOOR....enough with this Oubre talk...We are trying to win a championship not barely make the playoffs..

     

     

    Wake UP Hawks Fans.... We got an ALL ROOKIE TEAM SG just one year removed, to get mentored under Korver......It's so funny how Hawks fans lose faith so quickly...NO ONE KNEW WHO Demarre was until he came into Bud's system. Have some faith...

  7. How much cap do we have left?

     

     

    HAWKS FANS...GET OUT OF THE ATLANTA SPIRIT MANAGEMENT GROUP Thinking

    Our owner already said he is willing to pay the luxury tax to bring a contender to ATLANTA...

     

    A good offseason so far, we need a SF though to really make this a great one, and of course we need to keep Milsap

  8. "Biggest off season in Hawks history."

    Added Tim Hardaway Jr and Tiago Splitter. Lost Demarre Carroll.

    Glad our front office and ownership aren't serious about winning. I never had my hopes up, but some of you did and it sucks that the Hawks will never turn the corner.

     

     

    This was actually a good beginning to the offseason....the season doesn't start until the fall... 

     

    We got a big man that can be physical and help rebound, a SG that was on the all rookie team just a year ago, with basically no coaching whatsoever....Once he gets in Bud System, i expect him to improve and compete for our starting SG position...

     

    I hate to pay that much for Milsap, but the Salary Cap will raise next year due to the revenue sharing, we will not be strapped after nexte season anyway.....Now if we can also get Tobias Harris then I think we are back to ECF and things will be different.

    GO HAWKS
