Jeremy was ballin in Charlotte and Brooklyn before he got hurt.  These players nowadays are bouncing back from injuries that would end a player's career before.  I expect Jeremy to play for the Hawks this year.  We may need his assists more than his point with this team.

Love the move.  Showing some appreciation to the fans.  Now I won't have to break the bank to buy the family a meal at a games.

We have Trae, Huerter, Prince, Adams, and some possibles that can shoot from 30 ft. Almost all of our players with the exclusion of Miles and probably Len can hit 3's. We have multiple good passers and playmakers at every position & the main question will be how long will it take us to get good chemistry? 

We have a young unselfish group and I think if they don't play with any personal egos and just within the team than we will be better than alot of people could/would guess. Tankers will be upset...... at 1st but who could be mad at watching their team win with a young core that is only going to get better? Just like some of us had to embrace the tank last yr I think tankers are going to have to embrace the effort this yr. In order to have a winning culture you have to win. We have some winners on our team and although young I think can be a force if they play as a unit. 39 WINS I said it 1st. 

My prediction is 42, f**k the tank.  This team is leaps and bounds better than  last years team.

Another good pick up by Schlenk.  We needed a big and we got a young one.  With more minutes with the Hawks, I believe his stats will improve.  

Best of luck to Dennis. Appreciated all he did for the Atlanta Hawks.

I can’t wait to see them this year. We are finally going to play with pace. I hated seeing Denis letting the ball roll up the court when the clock was not an issue, drove me nuts.  I canceled my season tickets last year and glad I did, that team was the worst ever.  Got it back this year because I am excited about all the rookies, Lin and the new direction in which the team is headed, fast paced, exciting basketball.  

I believe our record will be better than predicted and Atlanta will receive more national press with the mere fact that Trae, Collins and Jeremy are on the team.  Last year, The national press didn’t care for any players on our team. Come on October, so the highlight factory can be resurrected.

Long time?  Those three years as an actual bench coach is considered to be a long time?

obviously you have not done your homework.

Yes I think he did.   Just a personal opinion but I I'm not to impressed with Pierce, hope he proves me wrong.  

 

I dont blame Bud for wanting to leave a rebuilding situation and I believe Pierce is a cheap stop gap replacement.

"Pierce is a cheap stop gap replacement" what is this based on?  He is a long-time assistant coach getting his first opportunity to be a head coach, same as Bud.

Brad and Jeff are not terrible.  They are very good, and they are mostly right when it comes to their coverage on this team.

It is objective fact that Lin has a fan base that is highly skewed towards an Asian demographic.  That is reality, not racism.  If anyone starts talking about fans of different races being worth more or players having more or less value because of race then we'll shut things down.  The idea of Lin being a marketing tool is fair discussion and is premised on the idea that every fan brought in the door regardless of color has value to the ownership.

Look at some of the comments when we drafted trae instead of luka, " more of the amigo crowd..." didnt shut that down.  

wish this board would base player comments on their play and nothing else, most on here do but some dont.

If that's his plan, we need to fire him now.  Today.

Crap-wads like Lin and Vic do not make you look better .. to anyone of consequence.  They make you look like a playoff-fodder team ... which isn't appealing to any high-level free agent.  Have the last 10+years taught you nothing, Dies?  C'mon mayne.

Going to the playoffs beats not going to the playoffs anytime.

Nuff sed.

We have already Tanked.  We got our three 1st round draft picks.  Time for the rebuild.  Win with what we got and add to it.  I wish they would change the rules, where a team could not select in the top ten of the draft in consecutive years.  This would cut down on all this tanking crap.

That's what I'm sitting there thinking. The Nets moved Lin to us which does absolutely nothing for us and then they turn around and made the trade Schtink should have made in the first place. We go from having cap space to make exactly the deal the Nets did to use our cap space to get a first rounder from someone to...this. Lin as a 3rd pg? Really?

Denver should be a really good team next year.  Their first round pick, probably would not have been very high anyways.

Schröder may now get his wish: Milwaukee or Indiana, probably Orlando.  Personally, I do not want Dennis anywhere near Trae.  

Oh btw, Dorsey #5 in rebounding in summer league averaging 11. Only guard in top five. 

Adams and Alpha. Both were productive in my opinion. Jaylen was horrible on defense and Cleveland was a black hole with the ball. I understood that he was trying to make the team but pass it sometimes.

Adams had few turnovers and can shoot. When Alpha came into the games, we tended to come back from deep deficits.  He was a welcomed relief from the walking plywood.

No mention of the 14 rebounds??

Ayton gets 13 rebounds and the media can't stop talking about it.  Dorsey gets 14 and crickets....

He took 20 shots to get 14 points.  That is not good no matter what.  The ball stopped when he touched it.

They'll want Trae,  Collins, our 1st next year and the Dallas pick.

Pass

15 points and 14 rebounds from our guard. His play has been solid in Utah and continuing in Vegas.  Guess if you have to bash a player, pick on those roster fillers that are just taking up space and can’t throw it in the ocean.

So far I only see three players contributing in summer league play and they are Collins, Dorsey and Trae. The others should all go straight to the G league.

Summer league does not make a career. It’s not like every player who looks awesome in summer league transfers that play to the season (Winslow and Stanley Johnson for examples). 

Plus Trae is getting good shots and playing decent defense. I have noticed his assists would be higher if we had better talent on our summer league team.  Not trying to make excuses but Collectively they look terrible. Tauren, Baze and Red Mamba should be able to convert some of those open threes. Dorsey looks better than he did last year and Spellman looks good. 

Boogie is the most talented center in the league and did not demonstrate any of that diva behavior in NO.  We should have rolled the dice for that type of player. Young players plus good vets make a good team.  

A rebuild is not determined by time but by talent on a team.  Boogie would have increased the talent threshold for the Hawks. However, I don’t believe the hawks would have received the discount that GSW did. 

They just got the second best center in the league.  Just give the damn rings already!
