HalfHawk

Ha ha, I'm sorry, but did you just say the greatest power forward of all time isn't a superstar?

This conflicting media is pissing me off. From here on out, if the deal isn't completed and official I'm not bothering.

If we're playing Smoove at the 3, we might as well play Zaza at the point.

If he had spent half of his time working on his game instead of becoming a bad poet, he might have amounted to something in the NBA. Talk about being delusional..

Bringing back the guy who chose some half-assed Greek team over us solely for the money? Hell no.

I was under the impression that there would be an option stating we raise a statue of Ferry, but "great" will suffice..

A few, quick words from Joe regarding his new team. http://www.nba.com/v...ls=iref:nbahpt2

The latest from hoopshype.. Dwight Howard isn't the only big man on the minds of the Los Angeles Lakers' front office staff these days. One source familiar with the trade negotiations said Thursday that calls between the Houston Rockets and Lakers discussing a three-way trade have cooled, while the Atlanta Hawks appear to be gaining steam in their pursuit of Howard.

Mary Schmitt Boyer/Tom Reed: I am being told nothing imminent with #Cavs/Humphries. @Adreian Wojnarowski correct when he says it's all about stockpiling draft picks. Twitter

I'm sorry, but for who or what exactly were you expecting the Hawks to net from trading Joe? I am in no way a Joe hater. I absolutely loved his game and what he brought to this team, but he simply never was nor will he ever be a franchise player. More power to him for the six All-Star appearances as it's quite a feat, but I don't think personal accolades alone can justify the trade as simply bad. The Hawks haven't been considered legitimate contenders under Joe Johnson's leadership for a single season, his contract restricts us in every way imaginable, we consistently exit the playoffs in the first or second round, and he's on the wrong side of 30. Couple all those factors and you really have to consider us fortunate for getting rid of him regardless of the talent we got back.

It was to my knowledge only Jordan Farmar would be bought out as he has a buyout clause in his contract.

I don't exactly remember where, but I read that the pick is lottery protected up until 2016. Edit : RT @KBergCBS The first-round pick going to Atlanta via Houston is top-14 protected through 2016. Becomes second-round pick and cash in 2017.

I might have believed it if the relocation was to a city with a bigger market than Atlanta, but St. Louis?.. Get real...

When someone is offering to take Joe and his hideous contract off your hands, I don't care if they're offering a washing machine and a stick of gum, you shut your mouth and take the damn deal.

Adreian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA League source tells Y! that Joe Johnson deal now likely "happens with or without Deron." Nets officials are meeting with Williams right now. Look's like it's a wrap. Done deal.

RT @WojYahooNBA: Atlanta will select Vanderbilt's John Jenkins with the 23rd pick, league source tells Y! Sports.

This basically describes every possible answer to your question.

He's already opted out of his contract and is an unrestricted free agent this off-season, should the Hawks pursue?

What did we do, as fans, to deserve this? It's inhumane.

So the ASG is going to have to outbid another team for L.D.? Looks like we're getting a new coach after all.

This off-season should be all about this guy. Jerry Sloan.

Eddie is secretly David Stern.

The Celtics blocked 11 shots, while only committing 14 fouls...Are you kidding me with that take it to the hole nonsense? It doesn't matter how hard you take it when the refs aren't giving you the call.

It would have been a flagrant 2 with a technical on Josh for "basketball reasons."
