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 two years older than Bibby and four years older than Crawford. J.R. reminds me of another J.R. we had a few years back.I think I'll pass.Yeah, just like Billups put Denver "over the top" when they got rid of Miller and acquired Billups. Oh wait, that didn't happen, did it?Billups doesn't put anyone "over the top."

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:

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.

Don't really understand the logic in this deal for NO, though. They get Ariza for Collison? Wow.

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

Why do the Rockets need Collison?

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.

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:

I meant we probably won't get to see the big 3 play in that last home game. They probably will have the division and #1 seed locked up by then.

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

Well looks like folks at Phillips arena will only get to see The big 3 in Miami once. I'm excited we got another Thanksgiving game on TNT though. :thumbsupsmileyanim:

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

Josh Howard would be nice.

Of course Chandler is better than Marvin. Question, what is the reason the Knicks got him on the block?

Marvin's salary is probably higher so if it is economics the knicks will not increase their cap space for Marvin. We would have to take more. I'd take Chandler and Douglas for Marvin and Mo.

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?

Who cares about his contract? The most important thing is we resigned the most important piece to this puzzle. Lets play ball.

Purely speculation from you guys as wishful thinking or is this actually something that's in the talks and may happen?

Just wondering.

I want Marvin back..

Cool story bro.

1. WTF does Marcin Gortat do other than stand there and be 7 feet tall?

2, Josh Smith is not a bench player.

3. WTF does Marcin Gortat do other than stand there and be 7 feet tall.

NO!

I'm not sure why no one posted in this.. It's exactly what everyone should think. Resign Joe and put pieces around him. Trade players to get better players.

Here's a different approach.

Play Horford at SF.

A case can be made that, coming out of Florida, Horford should have been much more comfortable playing at the 3 than playing at the 5. He's that mobile, and the relatively dependable mid-range shot he had back then has only improved as a pro. There were times back then that he, Noah, and Chris Richard were on the floor at the same time, and he was the 3.

Are you retarded?

Nice picture of Sund. He looks great....NOT

You judge guys?

Eh, I'm patient. I'd like to have a coach because it may influence Joe Johnson's decision, but I like that they are taking there time making sure they get the right guy for the job.

What Woodson did? Get us knocked out of the playoffs?
