Marvin has proven to be an asset to this team. I think we can all agree that he is very much needed on the defensive end. Specially now that it's clear that both Crawford and Bibby will get significant minutes next season. In addition, he has gotten better every year and will continue to improve. I would give him the 8 mil and not risk watching him improve and become a great player elsewhere!!!

Great post man!!! I agree with it almost at it's entirety. Here is my two cents: Positive: 1. Agree with you 100%. Some here will give credit to individual players improving, but players don't coach themselves. Also, when you take into consideration that basketball is a team sport it takes a person to bring everyone together to be successful. 2. Also agree with you on this point. I've actually heard Woodson speak negatively of Josh on interviews for taking too many shots and not driving to the basket instead. 3. I'm also a fan of Woodson's philosophy regarding double teaming high scoring players. It really makes perfect sense. Big offensive players like Wade, Lebron, and Kobe are always going to find a way to get their points. So double teaming them is counter productive. If their hot then let them score, but keep the rest of the team in check. Negative: 1. Agree with you 100%. He can definitely be more creative with the offense and not rely so much on isolation plays. 2. I sorta agree with you on this one. You gotta give the guy credit for shaving his head after making the playoffs two seasons ago! 3. I agree with the fact that he can do a better job subbing players in and getting more guys involved. In regards to the Law situation though, I don't think we know enough on the situation to really know exactly why he didn't play him all that much. You could be right about the whole trust factor, but the guy kept getting hurt every time Woody gave him a shot. But in all honesty I'm really not sure what happened there... We'll have to see how Law plays in Golden State if he does in fact get some play time.

It kinda looks like he said f*ck midway through the sentence, but i don's think he was telling Woodson to shut the f*ck up just like that man. At least it doesn't really look like it. Besides, in all the interviews i've heard Woodson speak in regards to Bibby he has nothing but good things to say about him. I'm sure if Bibby was lashing out at him like that he wouldn't speak so highly of him. I know I've heard Woodson say negative stuff about Josh.

That's always been my experience too. Fans from other teams would be glad to have him, but here the guy is despised!!! I wonder if the man can go out to a nice dinner with his family without being heckled?

I would like to see him develop his shooting and become an all around better player then to keep him in the paint and continue to be a one dimensional player. It does get frustrating to see him continue to shoot outside the perimeter though. With a better work ethic, i think he can do it though. I don't know if ya'll remember two season ago on the first home playoff game against the Celtics when he hit like 3 or 4 3's and was hitting jump shots from all around the perimeter, in addition to his usual dunks... That is the Josh i would love to see play next season consistantely. Maybe he just needs to develop more confident in his shot, which is probably a hard thing to do when you have 10,000+ fans in the arena yelling NOOOOO every time he's getting ready to shoot.... lol Check out his highlights for that game and imagine what a force the Hawks would be next season if he played that way consistently: What do you think? Can he do it? or is it just wishful thinking in my part?

I'm wondering why everyone hates Woodson so much? I mean he is not the best coach in the league, but the fact is we've gotten better every year he has been with this team. Is there more to this than him just not playing Law and not being able to control Josh's wild antics a little better? I'll like to hear your input and get more insight on the situation.

Gotta get Bibby back!!!

Completely agree... The Hawks need Marvin's defense in that starting lineup

This is great news... I hope it's true and he does in fact return to the Hawks next season. He is a huge part of what the Hawks do, and his skills and leadership will be very much needed for the hawks to continue to be a winning team. Joe Johnson said on an interview when he was asked about Mike Bibby's status with the Hawks that Bibby brings the team together on and off the court. A veteran like him is essential for a young team to have on their side. GO HAWKS!!!

I can't wait until Zaza is out of Atlanta... He's worthless. However, i don't wanna see that happening until we get another big man.

I'll leave the fashion to the HOMO fans... I'm more worried about resigning Bibby and Marvin, and also getting a big man on this team so we can continue on winning. GO HAWKS!!!

I hope you are right and Flip does in deed come back. I thing that's a very capable roster. Also, what you said about JC subbing for JJ makes total sense... Joe will be much more productive towards the end of the season not having to play 40 mins per game!!!

I've noticed a lot of Bibby haters in this forum and i got to say i don't understand it. Bibby played a huge role for the team the last couple of seasons. He's a great passer, he has the jump shot down, and he spread the floor to open up room for Joe and Josh. I'm glad to see he will most likely be back, though i wonder what's going to happened to Flip if he does.
