But why stress over a few million? The Hawks will have money to burn. All of this is moot unless they have plans to sign a big name. Wake me when that happens.
I'm okay with Josh being traded. Heck I'm of those willing to take whatever is being offered for him. I don't like the tone from some of the fans. Some of us are treating this as addition by subtraction. No matter what happens today he's gone, but don't act as if his absence is something positive.
Sometimes I think he gets that Rondo disease. When he's on he's damn nice, but sometimes Teague plays like he'd rather be in a Marta station dancing for quarters.
Teague (like Josh) is one of those players that drive you crazy every now and then. I hope our GM is unlike us and make decisions void of emotion. Sure he has a bad game every now and then but what's the point of trading him if the player you're bringing to replace him isn't much better.
$20 this has something to do with Al Horford. My bet is Josh was getting in Al's ass for playing soft. Al responded, Josh responded, then all hell broke loose. Of course since we all know Josh is known as the "problem child" he's suspended while Al's allowed to play.
John Hollinger and the media in general are "what have you done lately" whores. Is Woody the best coach in the NBA? No. So is LD one of the best coaches in the NBA? No, but he's probably the best coach for this group of talent. I'm no LD fan, but I have enough sense to stick with what's working.
If your hometown team has to change colors, give away free stuff, provide post-game entertainment, or bring out dancing monkeys during halftime then you my friend live in a city that does not deserve a sports team. WE SUCK!
