I mean seriously ...I think I just seen Penny Hardaway hit a three vs us ...I wouldnt be surprised if Stan Van Gundy can knock down a couple on us ..

word... and hiring Lenny Wilkens who is also 93

I want Joe to take a hike I want nothing to do with a sign and trade and taking on some avg player with a bad contract ..Start the rebuilding process and THANK the LORD above Joe never put his name on that dotted line. MAKE CAP SPACE ..KEEP AL HORFORD ...Trade Marvin/Josh Smith for cap relief and a young promising POINT GUARD

I wish Jeff would have asked Marvin if he robbed the front office with a ski mask on to give him 40 million

The only piece I say on this team that is worth keeping is AL Horford and he is limited offensively... Im all for packaging Josh Smith/Marvin for Oakfor/Collsion .. ..now we all know Oakfor is a waste of life and nothing special but were going to have to take contracts on as well as get a promising young PG . I really dont want Oakfor either but he is a bad contract so im trading 2 bad contracts Josh/Marvin for one bad contract and a young pg PG Collison SG Jamal Crawford SF Jordan Crawford....think this kid can be a stud so im all for drafting him or moving up to get him PF Al Horford C Oakfor Now that isnt a lineup that is going to get us anywhere in the playoffs we will struggle but im looking at making a run at Melo come next off season PG Collison SG Jordan Crawford...slide him into 2 ..Jamal salary clears off our books SF Carmelo Anthony PF Al Horford C Oakfor Now that is a contender... Why would Carmelo sign with the Atlanta Hawks hypothetical Young nucleus : Horford, Collison, Jordan Crawford His record label is in ATLANTA His wife loves Atlanta and she is friends with alot of people that are here

I really dont want to do a sign and trade with Joe and bring on avg players with poor contracts trying to pawn off on us... Destroy and rebuild ... there is plenty of want to be me but can not its like king arthur and knight sir lance alot , leftie and donnie brasco , gotti and paul

Without a doubt ..That is the only way we can truly rebuild ..We need to start the rebuilding process. Joe Johnson is a free agent to be so his contract going forward means nothing so why would we take on any cap or any B Grade type player. This team needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. If there is a team dumb enough to take Bibby with Joe Johnson ? noooooooooo so again what is the point on s n t with Joe Johnson when were not going to get any equal value and just take on cap. Id rather clear some cap ...ala trading Josh/Marvin Williams..drafting smart ..and making a run at Melo in 2011 off season .

I understand that the problem lies like I said I dont want to take on bad contracts or even expiring ones

Yea I understand that buzz but why take a chance to sign Joe Johnson for that kind of money and cant find any suitors ? Then we are stuck with Joe which aint bad but were not going anywhere with him so while it sucks to see him walk and we get nothing i think it's whats best .. I really couldnt find any suitors for Joe Johnson and I really dont want to take on any bad salary from other teams..

I dont see the Bulls trading for Joe Johnson or even signing him ..I can see them going after Bosh or if Wade was to ever leave Miami which I doubt maybe make a run at him .. The Bulls need a low post scoring threat even though Bosh gets soft at times a guy like Bosh would be a nice fit though .. C Noah PF Bosh SF Deng SG Lance Stephenson..(draft) PG Rose

Mike Brown and Woodson basically same coach ..lol

Why take the risk of a sign and trade ? Who is going to want to give us anything for Joe Johnson when he could just be a free agent and go anywhere he wants. Yea I understand he can sign here for more money but no team is dumb enough to give us anything especially what this guy has done this years playoffs...Id rather just part ways with Joe Johnon regret the day we ever gave up those kind of draft picks for him . This is not all on Joe Johnson ..The front office is also to blame for passing on numerous PGS and bad draft pick after bad draft pick Top it off giving Mike Bibby and Marvin Williams contract extensions...THIS CANT BE LIFE

I hate to wish a job loss on anyone in tough economy out there but im sure Woodson will get by and he will not be struggling to find a paycheck . With that being said I dont think Woodson will ever get a HC job ever again

for Joe Johnson could *ss mean Quit For Team

Meaning that there is no future in sight for that team and stuck in no mans land 1)Minny ...even though they got some young players they are lost as a franchise 2) NY Knicks ...there future can change this off season with 2 max contracts 3)GS .... not cause they dont have talent they do just badly coached 4)Toronto .........once Bosh goes not sure they wont get another big time player 5)Philly ..........a team with some talent like Iggy but loads of terrible terrible contracts like us If someone asked me today would you trade squads with the NETS ...would I do it ..without a doubt and they finished 12 and 70 ..lol

did Joe Johnson see Miami Heats crowd :question: and Wade even brought them a ring lol Joe Johnson could go play in Madison Square Garden next year and when he plays like this in the PLAYOFFS his face will be on the front cover of every paper in NY CALLING HIM A WASTE OF LIFE.. Go ahead Joe you wore out your welcome.. Im glad you didnt dot your name on that line for that contract ext

m for asking New Orleans for Darren Collision..to make it work I think we would have to take the contract of Oakafor ..(which im not thrilled abaout ) but least he can play C for us we send them Josh Smith and Marvin Williams.. its basically bad contracts for one bad contract and promising young pg PG Darren Collision SG Jammal Crawford SF Jordan Crawford( draft this kid either move up and package picks) PF Al Horford C Emeka Okafor. Now that line up isnt much to thrive at we would probably be on the bubble of making playoffs next year but it's not really that big of a deal ..Were not going to win a championship with our current squad regardless so why not clean house and rebuild By 10/11' off season we try and make a run at Carmelo Anthony ...with cap coming off the books like Crawford Why would Carmelo come to Atlanta .?????? well with Collision/Horford/Jordan Crawford..thats a nice young nucleus add Carmelo puts as contender Carmelo has his record label here we will have cap his wife is friends with alot of Atlanta People and loves the city 2011 Atlanta Hawks roster PG Darren Collision SG Jordan Crawford SF Carmelo Anthony PF Al Horford C Oakfor

Choke Johnson not signing that max contract we offered him MIGHT turn out to be the greatest moment in Hawk history Lets get under the cap and make a run at Melo

in 25 years plus watching Hawks basketball ..I have never shut off a Hawks game ..I already have did it with one this playoff series Im going to shut this game off in 3 mins ..its pathetic Woodson needs to go ..I will buy season tickets for next year if Woodson is fired ..I will buy them for life if he is fired after game 3

if we give Joe Johnson a max contract I will cry... Thank you Joe for the couple of years you been here you brought us some relevancy but the front office destroyed our future by giving up that many picks for you and drafting bums like Marvin Williams.. you wont be missed I will tell you that i dont care if we win 20 games next year as long as your not here not showing up in playoff games im a happy camper

I cant argue going that way for Devin Harris Im not a fan of his game its very streaky and very inconsistent . I have a tough time think why Dallas would get rid of that kid if they didnt think he would special down the road..Mavs do a real good job with personnel and trades ..I dont like either Bosh/Amare..not thrilled with those guys cause those are TYPE 2 players they would be great if we could pair one of them with the likes of Joe Johnson but that wont happen cause we dont have the cap /// they alone wont be able to carry this team to a legit contender. I also dont like the thought of Amare or Bosh underneath cause that will take away from Al Horford progression down low. I think New Orleans would make the trade to give Paul a option to run out on breaks with and a guy like Marvin who would be moved to bench for them..I think it would be fun to watch Josh Smith with a guy like Paul and see Smith talent used more then the plays Woodson draws up here NO Depth chart PG Paul SG Marcus Thorton SF West PF Josh Smith C draft one or Aaron Gray I would like to build the team around a legit star ..Melo surround him with talent Collision to run point direct offense . Jammal Crawford to be that other scoring option Carmelo..our go to guy Horford ..low post and could be option 2 Okafor.. clean up boards .offensive glass be a defensive presence

What's up fellow Hawk fans first time poster. ...Hotlanta Im with you this team needs to be rebuilt .. Im have talk to my boy KD about this for a minute. We part ways with Joe Johnson im hoping we dont offer him a max contract he has been putrid in the playoffs and is not a max contract type player . Im for asking New Orleans for Darren Collision..to make it work I think we would have to take the contract of Oakafor ..(which im not thrilled abaout ) but least he can play C for us we send them Josh Smith and Marvin Williams.. its basically bad contracts for one bad contract and promising young pg PG Darren Collision SG Jammal Crawford SF Jordan Crawford( draft this kid either move up and package picks) PF Al Horford C Emeka Okafor.
