It makes so much sense for Korver to come off the bench. But, per usual, Bud is slow to take action and make changes. Playoff teams limit Korver offensively and attack him on D; he will get much better looks and defensive match ups, on most nights, off the bench. Stop dragging this out Bud, it has to happen.

That Bucks team is suddenly filled with players that play well against us.

Did Bud intentionally hack a lot last year to hopefully force a rule change, anticipating that Dwight would sign? He can't be that smart.

Free agent forward Kris Humphries has agreed to a one-year, $4M deal to return to the Atlanta Hawks, league sources tell The Vertical.

3 ... D3

I never had any hope.

He is asking Nique for permission to bring back 21. I'm kidding.

Please don't tell me he is trying to get 21 out of the rafters.

That's why Humphries should be a priority.

i know you guys really want a superstar. But, do you really want to see Dwight and Westbrook in Atlanta, on the court, at the same time? Please give it some thought before you answer.

ATLANTA — Dwight Howard is coming home, and playing for Hawks Head Coach Mike Budenholzer had a lot to do with him agreeing to terms in Atlanta. “I really love the coach,” said Howard from Philips Arena where he was watching a Dream game with his family. “I told him three years ago I really like his style and the way he approaches the game. Just to be able to get coached by somebody like that who’s all about trying to allow you to grow as a player, I’m excited. I’ve seen what Al (Horford) has done in the past.” The Hawks could have featured a dominant front line with Howard in the middle, Horford at the power forward spot and Paul Millsap at the small forward position, but Horford turned down one of the five richest contracts in NBA history to sign with the Boston Celtics. “Not really,” said Howard when asked if he was disappointed in not teaming up with Horford. “It was his decision and I actually spoke to him before he made the decision. The thing I wanted him to understand was that this was about him. Whatever decision he made, I’m still going to be friends with him. I’m happy for him. He got a great option and I wish him nothing but the best.” Howard is hoping to turn the Hawks into the NBA’s best. “I want to do whatever I can to bring a championship home,” said Howard. “I know it's not going to be easy, but I've been working extremely hard this summer. I'm very motivated, really pissed off about last season and I'm looking forward to coming back with a new mentality." Howard’s three-year, $70.5-million dollar contract cannot be officially signed until Thursday. http://www.wsbtv.com/sports/howard-talks-about-decision-to-come-to-the-hawks/387291259

Kris Humphries as soon as I could.

The "KD was frustrated with Westbrook" stories are starting to pop up now.

Article suggests Faried, Barton and Lauvergne plus a 1st rd pick.

Would you take Faried and Barton for Paul? http://www.denverstiffs.com/2016/7/4/12094878/denver-nuggets-trade-for-paul-millsap-report

Yep, he will end up with the Lakers.

Please no.

And the NBA will make sure GS/Cleveland meet in the finals. Season over before it starts.

I agree; stop living in the past Hawksquawk.

I'm not a Scott fan, but could live with this. I think a healthy Splitter/Hump (if possible) is better than Hump/Scott. Love the idea of starting Prince.

The problem with that is we need a decent backup center. If not Splitter, who?

Yeah, Bud would have to keep that combo to very limited minutes. But, I could live with this bench with the current "defensive" minded starters. JCraw THjr KK/Prince Hump Splitter

It would be a nice change from a team full of passive B personalities. But yeah, it could cause a problem or two.
