Why would we want Dampier? We'd have an overload of backup centers that can't play. I'd rather have Dampier than Jason Collins and Etan Thomas, but not all 3... so pointless

6'7'' point guard? nice

The Hawks don't need Ericka Dampier.

What's with all the hype we are giving Pape Sy? I can't find much video on him so i can't judge how good he is, but seriously? Is it just sarcasm when we are saying "look put Marvin?"

I'd rather bring Mark Madsen out of retirement than a 7 foot center that wears high socks and a headband.

This. Greatest post of the offseason. Everyone on this board actin like Etan Thomas was a great signing.. "The Atlanta Hawks have signed Etan Thomas" :shake_puter:

Give me a break. OP is acting like Etan Thomas is our savior..

Care to share the link you read? And there is absolutely no reason to sign him unless we lose Crawford. We have enough guards.

Why on Gods green earth would the Wizards trade Gilbert Arenas(their superstar) for Marvin, Bibby, and Mo, Why? They don't need more guards and they don't need more small forwards. Think before you suggest,

Billups is older than Bibby.. yeah... but have you ever watched a game? Billups can contribute to a team 10X more than Bibby can right now. It's not even close.

This Hawks ownership is too sold on "we like our core group of guys" to make a trade that could put us over the top. I don't see it happening.. :sad:

Erick Dampier I'm not exactly sure what I'd give up on the current roster for Dampier. He has an awful contract, so hopefully he's waived and than we can sign him. Still, he'd be a much better backup than Jason Collins and could have some of Pachulia's minutes.

We are NOT interested in Boykins anymore. Read further and it was a rumor. The Hawks are still trying to find a big man. Signing Boykins would make no sense and anyone who posted in here saying "good deal" or "i'm ok with this" something is wrong with you. We have enough guards. We need a big.

Exactly. Awful trade for them. Collisons trade value is so high right now. They could have gotten someone much better.

Well if you could read the Pacers would get Collison. Very misleading thread title.

If Rasheed didn't go back to the Celtics after they signed Shaq (making them even more of a title contender again) he will not come to the Atlanta Hawks.

Isn't Jamal Crawford under contract? How can he hold out? Isn't that a breach of contract or anything?

Choose your 8 playoff teams for both conferences and list two dark horses in each conference that you think are flying under the radar that have a shot at the playoffs. Here is what ESPN guessed. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/s...-EastStandings http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/s...-WestStandings East- 1. Miami Heat 2. Orlando Magic 3. Boston Celtics 4. Atlanta Hawks 5. Chicago Bulls 6. Milwaukee Bucks 7. New York Knicks 8. Charlotte Bobcats Under the radar: Philadelphia 76ers, Detroit Pistons West- 1. Los Angeles Lakers 2. Dallas Mavericks 3. Oklahoma City Thunder 4. Houston Rockets 5. Denver Nuggets 6. Portland Trailblazers 7. Utah Jazz 8. San Antonio Spurs Under the radar: Memphis Grizzlies, Sacramento Kings Sorry if people get mad that I posted this here. I'll remove it if wanted, but I thought it'd be fun.

Congrats! Our newest Hawks fan ! :thumbsupsmileyanim:

Comment if you plan on going! Predict the outcome of the game! I'm so pumped for the season! :line dance:

Ohhh ok. You're probably right. I wonder why we play them so late in the season at home. It's never like that.

Miami comes to Atlanta twice late in the season. We go to Miami twice early in the season.

Josh Howard would be nice.

I'd like that trade. I read a little farther and it said because his name has been shopped around in a trade for New Orleans PG Chris Paul, but they are also searching with other teams.

Look, I am not a Marvin hater. He is my second favorite Hawks and I'd hate to see him go. But this is a chance to upgrade the Atlanta Hawks. I think it would be great if the Hawks could send Marvin Williams and maybe another player over to the Knicks for Wilson Chandler and considerations. Chandler is much more aggressive and a more reliable offensive weapon than Marvin because of his consistency. Anyone else interested in Wilson Chandler?
