Yes, Hawks were well represented.
Best Rookies
3. Lucas Nogueira, Atlanta Hawks
Nogueira's high-percentage finishing (11-for-15 from the field) and ability to crash the offensive glass should enable him to play right away even though he will have a tough time with bigger opponents (Aron Baynes gave him trouble). Besides adding strength, Nogueira must improve his free throw shooting (2-of-7).Honorable Mentions: Dennis Schröder, Atlanta Hawks;
Best Veterans
Honorable Mentions: Mike Scott, Atlanta Hawks;
Best Playmaker
Dennis Schröder, Atlanta Hawks
Pass-first point guards are a rare commodity in Las Vegas, and Schröder has the potential to be a special passer. When he drives, he's looking to find teammates, and his quickness creates plenty of opportunities for them at the rim or beyond the arc.
Best Hair
Lucas Nogueira, Atlanta Hawks
Because of course. Atlanta's Ed Daniel, who sports a perfectly sculpted 'fro, might rank second overall -- but second on his own team.Most Entertaining Team
Atlanta Hawks
Between Schröder and Nogueira -- who specializes in dunks, putbacks and blocked shots -- the Hawks have two of this year's most entertaining rookies, and the returning Atlanta players (Scott and shooting guard John Jenkins) neatly complement their skills on offense. While that's translated into just one win in three games, it's made the Hawks the best show off the Strip.

Hawks should trade for DH. It gives us at least 1 year of becoming relevant, possibly more. I love Horford, but you have to have a superstar to win a championship, and I don't think Horf will ever reach that level. Take the chance, if it works then we are a force to be reckoned with for the next 3-5 years, if not, then we rebuild through the draft in the lottery where you have a chance to get that superstar.

We should take advantage of his size and play him mostly at the 2 spot. The SG position is pretty weak in the NBA and Johnson probably rates as a top 5 SG in the league right now, or right around there. His size gives him an advantage against other 2 guards and he is a solid perimeter defender. Playing him at the 3 would lose him those advantages that make him a solid player.

I love Horford, but that is a no brainer. I will take the guy that could be in be (and this year was) in the MVP race in any given year. You just don't pass on those guys.

Elvis Andrus should not be traded, no matter what. An 18 year old middle infielder with a ton of upside. In saying that, Teixeira would be a great addition for a sorry production position we have, and I would hate to give up Salty for him. But it would make our lineup dangerous. We still need some help, especially a left reliever that can get lefties out (ie- not Ledezma). Hopefully Schuerholz has some cards up his sleeve and can get us some more pitching.

Horford has a much better chance to help the Hawks than Yi does. If this were 2 years ago, I'd be all for Yi, but we have no room for Yi. I'd prefer Conley first, then go after Camby, or Horford then try to go for Calderon. Regardless, Yi brings more people to the Arena, but for what? To watch him sit around and watch the Hawks almost make the playoffs but not because we still dont have a big man with post moves(Horford) or a legit PG who can run a team(Conley).

Yes, let's watch Yi sit his a$$ on the bench because we have so many forwards. At least if we got Horford, we know they are going to try and play him some at Center, so he won't take Marvins minutes away (who is still only 2 years into the league). We have to take a position of need, and seeing how our needs are PG and C, and there are 2 guys rated highly enough by many folks out there for those 2 positions, how about we just draft Horford or MCJ. This way we help the team on the court, not getting new Chinese business deals.

I'll be joining you at Pepsi. I try to make the Hawks game every year, but missed last season. Very excited to see Bud's team in person though. Go Hawks!
