    Horford is 6'8 wo shoes.


    Actually 6'8.75", if you are going to use his height WITHOUT shoes, then estimate to the right one.

    Zaza is not that short...he is a true 6'11.


    Really? Where are his measurements? And I assume you are using Zaza's height WITH shoes. It's funny how people skew arguments to their advantage.


    Agreed. If you want people (who are not clueless anyways) to buy in to what you're saying, then at least be fair.

    Horford = 6'10

    Zaza= 6'11

    The main enticing thing to me about Amare was that the price seemed so reasonable.


    That should have been your first clue that it was bogus. Suns get shafted and the Hawks make out like bandits.

    As a Suns fan, I'm not averse to trading Amare if it will improve our team. Trading Amare for Garnett makes us slightly better in the short term but kills us long term. Amare is a 24 year old 1st team All NBA player. KG has 2-3 years left in him at a superstar level. The Suns needed to be compensated for that age gap. Now, if the Hawks shipped Marvin Williams and maybe Childress our way, then it would be more of an even trade. But Amare for ONLY the 3,11 and filler? Not nearly enough for a 24 yr old 1st team All-NBA big man. I admit I was scared about the deal being true since it was being reported by so many different sources. I couldn't believer Kerr would be that stupid. Glad it's all over.


    You guys are killed long term whether you like it or not. Nash is not going to dominate for much longer.

  3. The hawks interior D has improved after picking Shelden (ppg went from 102 to about 97ppg). With 1 yr under his belt and getting more minutes at Center, I think the interior D will continue to improve.

    If the Hawks didn't draft Shelden I'm all for Horford but they got to get Conley JR. Jay Bilas and many others have said Conley is the 3rd best prospect in the draft.

    What about the 11th pick? They should trade for Camby or trade for next years' first or get a backup SG to JJ.

    ...hoping more for something reasonable that would bring Gasol and Calderon.

    The main enticing thing to me about Amare was that the price seemed so reasonable.

    But the danger now is that people will think that BK *must* make a trade... rather he must NOT make a trade unless he can get better value from it than drafting Horford and Law... nothing's changed there.

    rapters GM said he's not going to trade Calderon to anyone. They also said he turned down an offer in the top 10 pick for calderon.
