Let me get this straight, we passed up a chance to have a draft class of Crawfard, Alabi or Whiteside, and Robinson and we come away with Crawfard, money, and a project French sf. What happened to drafting the bpa Sund?

I think JJ and Boozer ends up in Miami with Wade. Unfortunately, I don't think that team is better than Orlando.

That would be an awesome starting lineup; but their bench is going to be sorry as hell. Because if Wade and JJ both get max deals (which they will) that's somewhere between 34-35 million gone, then you take out 12-14 million for Boozer. That could be all of their money in 3 players to give them a whopping total of.........................6. A bench full of vets signed for the minimum isn't good enough to help out.

But let's think about your worst case scenario (with a twist). Lets say we we ended up losing JJ and Craw but got back in return Chillz (basically free) and can sign Bosh.

I like the idea, but with what money do you suggest we use to sign Bosh? Because there is no way JJ agrees to go to Toronto in a SnT deal.

And what about Curry and Evans? That's a long, strong list.

They both played more of a combo guard role this year than just pure point guard.

Dragic is the future in Phoenix, he's not going no where.

Exactly, i would love to have him but Phoenix isn't letting him go right now

"Traded Player Exception" time, if true.

I really hope JJ doesn't just bolt. He'd become Enemy #1 in my book if he does.

Exactly how I feel right now

I've been informed by a Hawks player that most of the players have already accepted that JJ will not return next yr. I am not publicizing the name for their privacy but I assure you this isn't bogus. This isn't really a rumor, just giving you an idea of what most of the players are thinking in the locker-room. The player also faulted Woody for playing JJ too much during the season which caused him to be tired near the end, esp during the playoffs.

I don't blame him for wanting to leave I just hope he doesn't leave us high and dry by agreeing to participate in a SnT deal

C'mon folks. He's terrible. Faced with any adversity, he sucks. No Joe, and it's over. We still have no offense, 5 years later. There's a reason he doesn't have an extension. Sund watches the games.

Sorry to bust your bubble, but Woody won't be fired. Sund will re-sign Joe and Woody, but I do think he will try to make a move to obtain one of the PGs from NO

Calm down people, if he is serious about buying the team he is probably just going to be a minority owner of the team just like Usher is in Lebronville and Jay Z is in Jersey. I seriously doubt that he could buy the team and I doubt that the owners would sell their majority stocks right now with our team being one of the youngest and most exciting teams in the league.

True but like I said it's better than no one at all.

Definitely better than no one at all. I'm just saying that I would rather have Joe back next year and not have to worry about who to get to replace him

He's a good player, but he isn't on Joe's level

sorry bout that last post, tried to show the first one i did that had the Hawks beating the Lakers in the finals

Comments like this are just astounding to me. You think the Hawks would have one of the top 2 records in the league with a different coach? You think that coaching is the only reason the Hawks don't have a better record than the Lakers? I do think in the end woodson is going to change teams and the Hawks will win fewer games next season than they did this season. Be careful what you wish for.

I don't think they would have a better record than the Lakers do right now, but I do believe they would be in a closer race with Orlando for the divisional lead and the number 2 seed if they would have made a few late game adjustments in games that we should have won.

Signing a 30 year old SG to a six year max deal is scary, but the rest of our options are not much better. It's either sign Joe, be a 6th-8th seed, or rebuild. (I.E. Trade Josh or Horf for a superstar or a number 1 pick).

I'd rather do a sign and trade with Joe before trading both Josh and Al

My thoughts exactly. Stop the Joe Johnson max contract threads

Why we boo the holy hell out of Lebron and D-Wade, but cheer Kobe I'll never understand.

With that said, I've been watching the Lakers all season long and they really do have a Steelers type following all over the country. So it's really not just us. Only thing is...we take it to another level with the "Kobe" and "MVP" chants. :slap1:

Speaking of chants, do we have anything to chant when somebody on our team has the ball. I've been watching pretty much every game this year and I have yet to hear a player chant

This isn't the type of game you want a divided crowd on. The majority of the crowd needs to be pro Hawks

This stupid rule needs to be changed, even for the Hawks it really doesn't matter. Either they get the Magic or the Cavs, pick your poison

To bad I didn't hear about this, I would've loved the chance to see Smitty and Smoove

That is because Atlanta is listed as the 3 seed.

There is no possible way for Atlanta to get the three seed even if they have a better record than Boston simply because Boston won their division. The only way Atlanta could move up from the 4 seed is for them to win the division.
