Maybe he airballed because he felt bad for a dude so frail and didn't want to beat you. He may have thought you were from Make-a-Wish Guffman?

Zaza.

I was hoping when I woke up that news would come of the deal falling through... No such luck.

I was hoping that it wouldn't come to this, but I suppose that it was inevitable. I will probably turn this into a full-length article for the site that I write for now (ballermindframe.com), but I truly believe that everyone here deserved it first. It is no secret that Zaza is my favorite player. I have spent the last 10 years of my life rooting for him religiously: from the Magic, to the Bobcats (expansion draft), to the Bucks, to the Hawks. I am only 23 years old today, so imagine that. I spent every dollar I had on Zaza Pachulia autographs when I was younger. As I grew, that spending gravitated towards beer and weed, but my love of Zaza never deteriorated. I am sure you all remember the game-winning layup he missed versus Denver, I disappeared for months. I just couldn't understand why the only chance he had in his life to be clutch (besides a game-winning tip-in versus the Magic 7 years ago), he didn't follow through on. But that is life. Zaza is my favorite player, and it isn't even close. I get upset when he falls down, I am pissed when he misses free throws,and that is life. But tonight, that changed. He signed with the Bucks again for some reason. I don't know why he did what he did, but it is life. The worst part of it all, was that my ex-girlfriend (who I haven't talked to in more than a month) broke the news to me via text, A double heartbreak. Oh well. I won't bore you with the stupid details anymore. Zaza is my favorite player, and he made me love the Hawks. I also liked Joe Johnson, Marvin Williams, and Ivan Johnson. The age of the Hawks that I wanted to win the championship has passed, and I have no team to root for. So f*** it. I am a huge basketball fan, but what does a man with no favorite team do? I suppose pout over his favorite player going somewhere that his career will hit a dead-end. Oh well. I am drunk, and this is the end of my tenure here I suppose. I hope you win a championship, but it would have been so much sweeter with JJ/Marv/Smoove/Zaza and Ivan. Oh well. Life. Goodbye Zaza and Hawksquawk. Sprry if I annoyed you over the years.

What..............

My bad for missing my pick guys, I hate that I took a spot that somebody else could have had and messed everything up. My bad got admitted to the hospital yesterday and isn't in very good shape so I won't be around at least for a few days or maybe longer. You can give my spot to an alternative and hopefully when things are going better I can co-own the team with them if they'd be down. Apologies once again for pooping on the dynasty league.

Oh, pick #9.................. That's cool. Hopefully Zaza is available.

I'm down.

I live in Houston, and all of my friends are more than excited for Smoove if they aren't able to get Dwight. They think that Smoove + Harden equals a great championship shot. I just think it means a ton of retarded shots.

If it helps bring Cenk Akyol over, I am all for it.

Ban this man for calling me a hatchet!

I was surprised I was the only Zaza fan on the Magic boards, the Bobcat boards (for the one day he was on the Bobcats), the Bucks board, and the the only one on the Hawks boards. I wasn't even on a bandwagon, more like a wheelbarrow I guess.

Zaza is your favorite Hawk? :)

From all accounts he ahould have been shut down weeks ago for his plantar fasciatas. He showed heart by playing and had a bad game seven after a relatively-efficient series while playing hurt. He also played great defense revered by many throughout the series. I'll see if I can find articles to cite for what ive just said when I'm on a computer.

With that being said, I probably won't be around next season if Zaza isn't here. So if this is it, I'll miss all of you.

Anybody who thinks Zaza would sign a vet min contract is delusional. Although, Zaza could be the nicest player ever and do it to help the Hawks, I doubt it. I see him getting offered 3 years/18 million from someone, but turning it down for a slightly-smaller deal from the Hawks. Thinking 4 years/19-20 million.

But when he dominates in game 6, we will be right back where we were earlier.......

The life of a Hawks fan.... I am so god damn tired of getting excited just to be disappointed and made fun of by everyone I know.

Well, we survived the best half of basketball West and Hibbert will play all series, and we are only down 7. Petro is terrible on O right now, can't even space the floor very well tonight.

They were up 2-0 actually.

I haven't been this excited for a game in a long time. Especially one that Zaza isn't playing in........

It sucks that I hate Chris Paul (flailing, flopping crybaby) and Dwight Howard (primadonna, team-chemistry-ruining, crybaby). I would almost rather keep our team here and lose than win with those two running the team. I can never root for Dwight.

Crazy that Zaza isn't even worth 2.5 million in this guys estimation.

You won't be getting a goodbye/thank-you note if he does leave.
