Ferry Im suffering over here! Do something please!!!!!!!

Yup and more than likely that would be deng. Going off of multiple recent rumors the hawks seem to be tied to Monroe, Deng, Gasol. Personally I think a realistic possible lineup for the hawks can be: -Teague -Korver -Deng -Horford -Monroe But that could just be me reading too hard into hard into the trade rumors.

No not DMC too!!!!....noooooo!!!! lol but seriously it's going to take DMC to pull off that trade?.....if so we need to get something back as well other than Monroe alone.

I hate to say it cause I like sap but if we are getting Monroe it's going to be a trade involving sap for Monroe....no other way around it! SVG is too smart and will match him knowing they can easily trade him. So.... The real question is...is Monroe talented enough to trade away milsap. We desperately need a center and horford and Monroe is a very nice combo but we have things working against us.... -horfords health -losing Saps ability to spread the floor However at the same time things are starting to make sense. Payne was drafted for insurance for milsap as Payne can also spread the floor as a PF! So while we are losing all star milsap, we are gaining.... -a bigger big man rotation by adding Monroe and that is still talented by adding Monroe -we still have a big who can spread the floor in rookie Payne -horford I guess to many less likely to get injured at pf and that's a huge plus. Offensively sap and horford are better and possibly defensively too but Monroe has time to be a 20/10 guy over this 15/9 guy he is right now at the age 24. Ferry's genius is showing! Check out this big man rotation: -Monroe (legit center 6'11, 255pound man) -Horford (our all star gets to play power forward...watch out NBA!) -Payne (the rookie is an older 23 year old rookie but he has skills that can help the team now) That's a very good start to a new big man rotation that will possibly be better. I would love a gasol, hill, or spencer hawes backing up Monroe and our front court would be very strong rotation this year!

Ain't gon lie Monroe defense is pathetic but I do think he can guard centers better than pf's...it's important to get a guy like Monroe though cause horford can move to pf and Monroe has good size and he's 24 years old. His defense can be worked on as well as his offense game with a real coach like bud. I hope SVG don't match our offer if he is given one. -Teague -Korver -DMC -Horford -Monroe *Sap sixth man of the year guranteed...he may embrace a role like that. That's a nice lineup and we would still have money to go out and get a wing that we badly need to attack the goal. I'm down with all of this!

Exactly! I wish more of the board will realize this!

Now this!!!....I'm ok with!...good job dolf!

True....I'm saying lance cause we seem to be out of the market for any other players like parsons, etc, etc...leaving us with options with old ass deng and young head case lance...then again those are just rumors too and we could be going strong after parsons

It is problematic I purposely didn't sugar coat it. But it is what it is ...think about it regardless of what lance may do as long as he's able to play he's going to be tradable. If ferry signs deng to 10-12m it's probably going to be for about 3 years...by mid season this will feel like a Carlos boozer deal and he will be hard to get rid of. *im not bitc*hing if deng comes at 7-8m but I doubt that happens and these rumors are making ferry seem desperate to get a guy.

Well they need to get interested cause this deng shit ain't gon cut it...atleast not at that price.

I'm interested but where is this coming from?

Now that we have cleared cap space...ferry just need to go out get lance and hire metta world peace phycologists for lance! Guys I'm serious! I hate to bring lance name up again but in the event that ferry signs deng for 10-12m I feel we mine as well put up with young elite defender, great rebounder, shooting guard with issues lance Stephenson...I could care less if you like him or not the guy has talent to be an all star next season and he can play defense, rebound and hit the 3ball. If you sign a old as* deng for 10-12m you mine as well deal with talented antics lance Stephenson.

Yup mine as well if we are trying to overpay a guy...if that's the plan "to overpay"...smh please ferry be smart.

I'm cool with deng at 7-8m....I mean it ain't the best move but it's a decent move at 7- anymore than that and I think the off season is completely shot the rest of the way. I'm getting worried...I got that bad news for the hawks feeling like when horford went down this past season. Cosign...go after parsons if you're going to give deng that kind of money.

Sh*t man!...I'm a surprised that deng value is still 10-12 mil range on the market. I wouldn't mind him but no way in hell I'm giving Deng 10m yet alone 9m. He's worth 7-8m..no more or less than that. My goodness I'm actually fearing that ferry is about to do something stupid and sign this injury prone dude. I hate to tell y'all but I'm going to question ferrys BBIQ...not because he went out to get deng but if he goes out to sign deng for 10m or more! Heck 9m would be crazy too but I can accept it but 10m or more and ferrys BBIQ is in question, no arguments there.

Lets not jump to anything just yet...it ain't the end until someone officially signs that ain't worth it. But I'm going to give ferry a chance when free agency starts I hope he's hard a**ing it!

If he is, he may receive strikes 1,2, & 3....and ya know what that means...time to fire that a**! Lol...seriously though he does that and he destroys the hawks for 2-3 years depending on how long the deal goes for.

If it's for 7 or 8m I'm not mad...if it's more than that then WTF ferry?

I made a post a while back about sooner or later ferry is going to have to take a risk. Judging the roster hawk fans should have known this and been prepared. Now I like bebe just like many of you but he's not a huge risk but he is a risk because now your last year first round pick was a waste of time basically....but I'm not mad at ferry because again I knew he was going to take a risk at some point. Personally I thought ferry was going to trade horford to Cleveland to pick Embiid and I thought that was going to be his risk. Anyways I'm not upset, I'm more "now that you made this risk ferry...how are you going to follow it up...I knew you were going to risk something in effort to make the team better now you just need to get it done" Bebe is gone like nbasupe said "I'm over it"....ferry I hope you have a plan wether it's for quality all stars or for a star I just hope you have a plan....if you have fail this will officially be strike 1 since you've been here.

This is my guy!..I think he's going to show out in the training camp and earn a significant spot on the hawks roster.

Many would disagree with that. Iso joe stopped the ball movement under LD. There's no telling what he would do under bud. Remember hawks joe Johnson and suns joe Johnson are completely different.

Lou need to be traded regardless...I see no point holding on to him if bud is going to remain our head coach. In fact trading Lou should be one of the top priorities.

I ain't gon lie...as much as I like horford and as important as he is...I looked at that lineup two or three times...shiiiiitttt it ain't bad. But kanter is injury prone I believe plus I don't feel horford is injury prone as much as many of you on the squawk.

I agree but is there anything out there that can make this work. Is there any 3rd team that could get involved where we can get a decent big man back. Also how would we feel about this possible lineup? -Teague -Klay -DMC -Sap -Gortat or another legit starting caliber center on the level of gortat Of course I like horford way better than gortat but will this make our team better as a whole?

If anything... Teague Parsons DMC Sap AL *Korver is made to be a key man off the bench. DMC is more effective as a starter.
