Cant be excited about this trade/pick situation really...Can only think his salary could be trade filler down the road??

funniest comment i saw in reddit game thread when hawks went up on clippers in fourth quarter to put them away:

SWIPE LEFT ON THESE BITCHES.
IT'S TIME FOR TINDER NIGHT IN THE A

rice was lighting up jenkins, it was obvious jenkins hasnt adjusted to pace of game yet. But back issues for a jump shooter doesnt bode well, will be tough to find a buyer for him.

Patterson seemed in control, steady pace not playing fast or hyper. He got several deflections and steals, looked good overall.

Not much of a value signing imo, but not against it. Even if we tank we need to use alot of our salary cap guys, forgot the percentage.

And you cant compare Batum's contract coming off a rookie deal with korvers; thats like comparing our great deal with horford to veteran PF/C contracts....to get horford or batum, you would need more than their salaries to pry them from the teams.

What would you guys think of Smith for Asik and Parsons? i really like how parsons has come along

+whatever filler is needed to match

All the benson highlights I've seen so far are dunks. How's his post game?

I imagine both teams are juggling "deals" for the right cap fit. It's like my checking account at the end of the month. The deposits and debits need to be in the right order or there could be complications.

They have a Toronto top 3 protected pick (houston does) from the lowry SNT, that is their Ace asset. But if Orlando only wants picks; we could swing our guys to houston for those picks/rooks and package ours with it, try and get a sf out of it too

What, are there any other basketball players from Atlanta that we could bring home...?

seems like Teague is pretty excited with this signing, would be embarrasing for him if he's traded now

You guys think this gives option for hawks to trade teague to a 3rd team if orl doesnt want him? like rockets who are about to lose dragic and already lost lowry? either for SF or assets for DH trade?

5 more days till signing period, seems everyone in a rush to forecast the future. There's plenty of time to balance out the roster; i mean every offseason we feel like the front office never makes enough moves anyways.Pretty much every organization is resistant to change; so not surprised to see people worried.

For centers you got howard>bynum>Gasol; after that your looking to trade with Utah; or moving up into upper lottery for one of 3-4 C prospects coming out (hard to get, need top 7). Centers always slim pickings; but like i said 4 centers in lottery for 2013 draft most likely

backup plan is Bynum & Harden? or some other RFA ? depends i guess if howard for bynum goes through

Waiting for houston to make playoffs is too far off; either bundle it in package for something big or trade it back to houston for one of their many sg/sf/pf.

Hey guys, been so busy with syrian revolution stuff for last 16months, had to come out from lurking to post today. What do you guys think about trading the Houston 1st rd pick back to houston for one of their glut of forwards; i.e. parsons or royce white or combo terrence jones or even try for SG jeremy lamb? Problem with the pick is there's too much protections in it; essentially they got to make the playoffs for it to come to us which doesnt look promising with the Western Conf competitionAny thoughts?

guaranteed contracts only for first 3yrs, or negotiated contract by contract basis.. If we cut dead weight players making big $$$ off each team, would free up alot of money in savings and for those more deserved. Maybe less trades as a consequence but more FA movements i think.

Just think of all the rosters with deadweight high $$$ contracts; arenas, marvin, baron, brand, at least 1 per team. Sure, teams are partly to blame for this predicament, but its also a product of the system.

That guys grades are horrible; i think hes a fantasy writer (Dave Del Grande), makes him overly qualified to grade team draft needs/players :P

The kinect is gonna revolutionize something other than gaming. The tech package for the price, sensors, microphones, cameras, is unbeatable. With microsoft leaving the drivers open to release/modification, the sky is the limit.

Yah their integrating it into a 3d porn game that is already out. You got virtual pianos, path finding robots using kinect, all kinds of crazy ideas. Check out the link.

I dont mind Josh shooting jumpers, but i specifically remember one in the 4th, coming off a screen deep into post to the elbow and shooting a turnaround brick...one step at a time josh, set your feet with time!

no doubt about it, they are playing championship caliber football right now.

hawks take a back seat today...will have them muted on my TV monitor while falcons take up the big screen.
