Cleveland wants to get more experience support around Lebron James and Atlanta may just be in the right place at the right time. We need a bold move: Trade: Paul Milsap, + future 1st round pick for Wiggins & Antony Bennett Lineup PG- Teague / Schröder SG- Selfalosha / Korver SF- Wiggins / Patterson PF- Payne / Mike Scott C- Horford / Antić

Sure glad we got Sefalosha for that bargain basement price...good deal for Ferry

Now that the smoke has cleared, Ferry can truly begin to work, i expect the Hawks to make a trade soon and a few teams may just off the best move, but at what cost for the Hawks. Cleveland as constructed don't have the front court scoring, nor enough veteran leadership to truly contend for a title, especially in the loaded West. Scenario 1 Cleveland trades Dion Waiters Anthony Bennett Future 1st round pick for Atlanta trades Paul Milshap Grade: C+ for the Hawks, as they get a decent shooting guard and a future 1st round draft pick. Not even going to mention Bennett. Scenario 2 Golden State trades Harrison Barnes Festus Ezell future 1st round pick (top 10 protected) for Atlanta trades Paul Milshap future 2nd round pick Grade: B+ Hawks get a Center, and a starting young small forward, plus a pick.

Yea well, how credible is Sheridian hoops..? It's definitely not 90% if anything Cleveland has a 50% chance at best.

my bad

I would want Dion Waiters

HELL NO......

I like Greg Monroe but he is expecting a big contract. And as a Michigan Fan, i wasnt happy with Payne's selection, but he will make an immediate impact for a less amount. This is a business, and the Hawks need perimeter scoring at the wing and guard position. Getting Greg Monroe will not exceed what Payne and Milsap will bring together at a lower price. This is not playstation but a business and the Hawks are in the business of building a team the right way...

I would take Deng over Ariza anyday...Deng plays harder and more relentless. Ariza is good but sometimes plays without urgency...

http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/07/05/report-bosh-would-prefer-a-four-year-max-deal-with-another-team-to-staying-with-heat-for-less/ Now this would require some creativity from Ferry - he would have to part ways with Paul Milsap, + filler, but Chris Bosh, with Buds system would propel us into the discussion for the Eastern Conference Elite teams. Not sure if the salary cap holds up but Atlanta would be a dangerously good team...One can dream right? And Yes Sothron this team could make it to Eastern Conference Finals Pg- Teague / Schröder SG- Korver / Sefalosha SF- Deng / DMC PF- Chris Bosh / Payne / Mike Scott C- Horford / Antić / Muscala

Another nonsensical post....we trade our pick before he even plays...sigh

Winning a title No, but let's say the Hawks get Deng and say Dion Waiters via a trade from Cleveland then yes we would have a shot to make it to the ECF under coach Bud. Sure it's not a sexy team, but try defending this team. PG- Teague / Schröder SG- Waiters / Korver SF- Deng / Sefolosha PF- Milshap / Payne C- Horford / Antić / Muscala

Except we have cap flexibility....Ferry knows what he is doing, it's not like we have big name free agents knocking down the Hawks front door. Mainstream media doesnt even respect the Hawks..IF we can play as a TEAM and with the East being weak - who knows what can happen. btw are you really comparing 4mill a year for Sefalosha to JJ 20mill per year.....come on man...

Here we go again...we spent 4million dollars...not 8 million for this guy. This is chess not checkers, it's pretty obvious that this move is to get Deng on board for less than what the market dictates. Deng could easily command 12 to 13mill in Dallas or LA. We already struck out last year trying to pitch big name free agents Dwight Howard, Chris Paul etc., so we have to build a competitive team that can compete. Ferry is doing things the right way, and who knows maybe we can surprise people with a 3rd seed in the east..

If our team can manage to stay healthy a full season then I would look for us to compete for the 3rd spot in East provided that we are able to sign Luol Deng. I would imagine that coach BUD philosophy is to moderate Horford, Milsaps, korver, minutes by adding more depth to the team. Hence, Payne, Patterson, Selfolosa additions. We still need another SG that can actually dribble and shoot.

The Hawks are inching closer to the top, and this lineup could really compete for the 3rd or more likely 4th spot in the East. If Schröder can grow into a solid backup and Payne can average 8pts, 8rbs then we have a real shot..Still think we need a starting SG to make this team really make noise.

Here we go again with another volume shooter like OJ Mayo. It's a reason he is in Milwaukee - b/c no one else wanted him. Leave him there...Not to mention you want to trade our Pick before even seeing him play in our uniform. And we wonder why the rest of the league makes fun of Atlanta Hawks Fans....

I agree - it's a solid team, that should be able to make it to the 2nd round. Don't sleep on our second round pick Lamar Patterson. He is actually pretty good, just not flashy a typical Spurs type player.

Winning is everything....if the Hawks win the right way we will be fine...

If we were able to get Klay Thompson via trade - I would be ecstatic!!

Trade for Dion Waiters

Some Hawks fans are hysterical...we sign a SF for 4mill a year and we are blowing up at Ferry. Ferry has done the following: 1) Dump Joe Johnson huge contract 2) Hired a really good coach 3) Signed reasonable contracts And yet we are still complaining...Let's just wait until the end of the Free Agency period before we start saying the sky is falling....THe only thing we haven't done is bring in a real star... Btw- If we were playing Playstation then we sign Eric Bledsoe but we play in the NBA so lets focus on a player that fills a need..A True SG that can shoot.

In Buds system this guy will play well. OKC with Durant and Westbrook plays a double Iso offense - Thabo will be good in ATL

Another solid move by Ferry - not sure why people are mad. We got a good defender who can hit the open 3pt - he is a better replacement than Cartier Martin, and will likely mean that DMC will be traded.
