Lol...damn hawk fans are desperate! I don't blame us...we just want to see our team win! Is that so much to ask for?!...by the way I would welcome emeka, what can it hurt.

Teague is a sure all star if he plays aggressive! I don't care what nobody says...dude has talent to be the star of this team. Man he's good when he's aggressive! Very unstoppable when he attacks like that.

Man I wish that would happen. Would like to see lance on this hawks team.

Me too but it seems like ferry is waiting to pull the trigger on the right guy. Lance upside is amazing but his attitude scares off gms. But he is worth the money.

Not saying he is just saying I wouldn't be surprised if that were true. I mean honestly deng probably really is worth only 8-9m at the highest at this point in his career. I'm not completely upset just saying...You know what moderators should change my thread title from "lowball deals to fair deals" that's what I really meant.

To add we mine as well cancel lance completely out! No way in hell ferry gambles on lance though lance could be a sure all star in a couple of years.

I was mad that we haven't landed a known name free agent but after reading this I wonder if ferry is low balling these players on contracts. It seems likely since ferry is very serious about not overpaying players. Which is good and bad...personally because we are the hawks I feel that ferry is going to have to take a risk at some point! I've said that several times before.....ferry is going to have to take a risk on a player at some point. Quote from article (http://fansided.com/2014/07/14/atlanta-hawks-rumors-greg-monroe-lance-stephenson-targets/#!bfbYeK): "For instance, they had a chance to land Luol Deng at $10 million a year but decided to lowball him instead." I truly believe this and this time I don't think it's the ASG....I really think this is apart of ferrys plan to stay "flexible"

Yes he was and steroids are a hell of a drug aren't they? (In my DL Hughley voice)

Ferry should clear space and offer a 4 year 52-55m deal and add some crazy ass trade kickers in year 4 and maybe a player option in year 3..whatever to get it done. That should get Monroe to the hawks. Pistons would really think about it before matching.

Yeah Ben was built to play center. Payne is built as far as height and weight as far as I'm concerned but he needs to add lower body strength.....Which is possible and maybe necessary period wheather he plays center or not to say the least.

I think the hawks getting Monroe is an upgrade. Teague Korver DMC Horford Monroe I wanted Korver as 6th man but he's needed to spread the floor if we get Monroe and Monroe and Teague can provide inside scoring as well as horford.

We should be going after him...I don't see why ferry wouldn't.

Yeah I agree...he had a bad game today but overall he's a solid defender.

So question...can muscala hit the 3ball? I'm noticing that his attempts in the summer league are up seem like.

Man Dennis is ballin out there! Muscala looks pretty good today too.

The attitude thing is so overblown though. Unless ferry knows some inside stuff lance should be getting an offer very soon.

Ferry needs to sign this guy!

Ok ferry...it's not your fault but I'm getting pissed as a hawks fan. We missed out on gasol, deng, Ariza...it's time to offer lance a contract he wants! All these teams passing over lance will regret it! Dude has skills and need better coaching and is an elite defender...SIGN LANCE!...take advantage of this wide open east conference this year!

Damn!....oh well go after Monroe now...get lance dammit!

Lol no I'm very serious!...good thing I'm not gm right? 14m is too much for Monroe but I believe 13-14m is the only way to get him away from pistons so that they will not match it. I think 10 should be his highest but I know he's going to get more than 10

I'm ok with this...I don't think it's shocking since he has center size he just needs to work on his lower body and he's young enough to get a stronger lower body. I'm ok with Payne backing up horford and Scott backing up milsap...and dropping Pero.

I would offer him a 24mil 2 year contract at most. He don't want it, keep it moving. As for Monroe I would offer him 14mil per.

Let's give Jenkins until the end of the summer league. Bud can do wonders with this guy if he is healthy. I hope jenks steps it up!

True it can be...I just like it because it puts the hawks players on notice if they make it.

Ok! Way to bring some positivity back! Please tell us more!
