This is what we wanted him to do

Let's face it this team is a mess, but one thing we do have to work with is we have piece we can use as trade bait and pieces we can build around. Teague is definitley our future PG and Josh Smith bring things that is not easy to replace. Everybody else needs to go!!! I say we take a page out the Bulls book. They kept certain pieces like Deng and rebuild with re draft Noah, Gibson, and Rose. We should trade our pieces to get a franchise player in the draft.

Al doesn't deserve to be in the same sentence with these guys

1. Orlando

2. Cleveland

3. Boston

4. Washington (w/a better record than Boston by 1 game)

5. Detroit

6. Philadelphia

7. Chicago

8. Atlanta

SMH

Flip isn't even on the Hawks anymore. I didn't see much progress from Horford at all last year, and I still think the Hawks are going to implode because of Josh Smith. They need Bibby back just to make a run at making the playoffs.

How is Atlanta better than Washington. The Wizards have way more depth and better overall talent and experience. Also the Wizards actually have a legit NBA Coach in Flip Saunders.

Arenas is the best player out of both teams. Butler is the second best. Joe Johnson 3rd. Then Jamison.

Arenas>Bibby (if they retain him

Miller<Joe Johnson(But JJ plays poorly in the playoffs)

Butler>Marvin Williams

Jamison=Josh Smith

Haywood>Horford

Bench

Nick Young>Murray

McGee=ZaZa

Blatche>Solmon Jones

Randy Foye=Jamal Crawford

Stevenson<Maurice Evans

Miami sucks, they have one player lmao. They aren't going to be better than Toronto or Washington. Atlanta got worse with the addition of Crawful

Is this really a thread about a team bringing their FA's back and trading for Jamaal Crawful? Hawks have had about as uneventful of an offseason as any team.

Unless Hawks get Amar'e or something they have no chance of even competing with the top 3. Right now, Wizards are the 4th best team in the East easily, and it's not even close

That line-up reeks mediocrity all over. Just won't win over the legit contenders in the East. Sorry, Hawks fans. Another year of up and down and the results will be the same. Might overachieve but that's about it.

If Josh Smith is your best player, you aren't winning a title or competing against the Orlandos, Bostons, Clevelands of the world.

I could probably argue that Crawford may have made them worse. They are not stacking, and they're definitely not a championship contender, not even close. They need a solid big man, bad. They should try packaging Smith and other players for an all star caliber big.

Ibrowsed through the general board yesterday and some of the post had me disgusted. Some people said Washington were far better than the Hawks. Some say Hawks won't even make the playoffs. Their main reasoning waz because we got Jamal Crawford and he makes every team he on worst. Alot of them said our team waz nothing more than mediorce and one even went to say the Hawks are a bad team(it waz a Sixers fan to LOL). The worst one of all was someone making a thread asking " Is Josh SMith the worst PF in the league". WTF I don't know why anyone would want to post there.

I hope he re-signs to a long term deal, he's only 25.

LOL! that's funny.

besides, cv just plain looks funny.

IDK why alot of people hate on Charlie V, give him a proper role he can be very vauleable.

We haven't heard anything about Marvin and you can make an arguement that he's better than players like Ariza and Klezia. Does this indicate that we are very serious about keeping him?

Y'all really think we can offer them something better than GS? It is Steve Kerr tho.

Now that I think about it, Smith has developed too much in Atlanta to give up on him for some old friend of Joe's.

Are y'all forgetting the playoffs???

I think most of you are ignoring the fact that Joe can't lead a team to where we wanna go. We need that superstar that can compete with the Lebrons and Howards out there.

Yea Chris Brossaurd said this earlier. I wouldn't be worried about his injury concern seeing that it's his contract year and he'll have to compete with a ton of free agents next summer. Also we're gonna have to give up alot more than Smith.My question is, what else?

Blair, Lawson, and Teague two of them will be there. Only way we can f this up is, if we pick Mullen

^^^LOL

I don't think anyone knows whats gonna happen

Why not trade Marvin(SNT) +19 for T.J Ford and the 13th

I've been hearing some buzz lately that this dude is gonna slip at will possibly be there at 19. Do we take him? He might be another Marcus Williams.

TH is one of the safest picks in the draft and with the Hawks record of drafting players its boom or bust. How many players become star players in the NBA at 19? Not many plus the Hawks need a Kurt Rambis type that are a pain in the neck.TH will be one of those players you hate to see entering the game if your the opponent.

Safe pick??? Sheldon was suppose to be a safe pick. But I like Tyler, he bring energy aan we need that.

Man SMH @ them Hawks. Wade really exposed J.J for what a real superstar is. That dude wasn't hittin nothin in the whole 4th quarter. That's when a superstar is supposed to show up!!! Not to mention he had the crowd behind him. Those two missed free throws reminded me of when he choked against Boston earlier in the season.

He re-signed. We pratically forced him out with the bad ownership mess. Like blocking his trades, and attempts to fire Woody

I would have prefered Jaravis Crittenton, even tho he'd be in the same situation as Acie, atleast we'd know he was young and has time to develop.

He also passed on Brook Lopez, and traded away Brandon Roy SMH

With Acie struggling and Woodson not showing any confidence in him, will we be looking for a new PG of the future in this upcoming draft, or will we be looking at something different.

I would hate to trade away our picks this year. Alot of the key contributors on playoff teams have come from late first round picks.

I thought his knick name was "the Godfather"

It nice and all, but we should be better

i say Boston. KG getting into it with Zaza..Marvin giving a hard foul on Rondo and getting ejected..KG setting a dirty screen on Zaza...Bibby calling their fans bandwagon fans..Fans booing Bibby everytime he touches the ball...Horford screaming at Pierce and then Pierce throwing up gangsigns at him..i dont think its even an argument, right? lol

co-sined. When we play them both teams always get hyped to play each other. I think now that the Hawks are someone legit, people are gonna start labeling them one of the rivaries in the league.
