Talk is to sign another guard.  Probably a combo guard. 

By combo do you mean sucks on offense AND defense?

I will wait until the official predictions thread.  Just know I won it two years ago and got second last season by a game or two I believe.

He'd be okay if Dennis, Delaney, Dorsey, and all of the towel boys were unable to play.

Anderson makes 

$19,578,

$20,421,

$21,264,637

over the next three years ... we should not be taking that on.  He is a one dimensional player ... for that one dimension is really good at but I don't want to be stuck with that salary for a guy who will end up eventually on the bench

Damn!  Years 1 and 2 are bargains.

That's not the argument. You're criticizing people getting excited for what Collins has done in SL and college, yet, whenever it's a michigan? guy, you don't use that same objectivity. 

They are getting overly excited for rec league basketball.  I realize people are starved for positive news, but maybe then could actually wait before crowning him the MVP of the galaxy.  

Schlenk is so good!  He finally accumulated a full roster!  He's the best.

Said the guy who thought Payne was a good player. 

He had all the skills to be good in the NBA.  It didn't translate unfortunately.  I don't really ever remember me claiming he's going to be a stud like most of you are doing with Collins.  

Lots of funny comments here.  Way too much sunshine blowing for a guy over a summer league play.  You guys need to a get a grip.  This is absurd.

Marginal player.  At least he's a viable NBA player which is refreshing.  Good value signing to boot.

This guy gets paid to write?

Give me Mirotic please.  This teams needs some shooting and he's better than Ersan who I like, but prefer Nikola over him.  

Alex Len just picked up his third personal foul and his headed to the bench...

If the Hawks stretch Jamal Crowford's contract, I believe they will have up to $28 million in cap space possibilty up to $30,000,000 if it's low enough and other things fall correctly.

Okay thanks.  I thought we had cap room, but then I read somewhere on here that the Hawks had no wiggle room and that's why Schlenk couldnt sign anyone. Thanks to @sturt as well.  

Why is KCP even being discussed?  I thought the Hawks had no money to sign anyone?  Or is it that they are 20ish million away from the cap of 99 million?  Hard to understand it anymore.

Anyway for the record I would welcome KCP and think he fits what the Hawks think they want.  A young player with room to grow and he already has a solid base.  I would toss the same contract that Timmy got from the Knicks at KCP if in fact the Hawks have money.

My bad: hate, indifferent or at best ok. 

But yes, the list of players I actually "like" is short.

Your list is long every year though so where is the surprise in this one?

The only players I hate are Plumplee and Muscala.  How is that long?

1 hour ago, Thomas said:

With some here everyone on the roster now or whenever will be on the hate list sooner or later.

I will go on record as to who I hate right now:

Dennis:  Okay (I came around after the Wizards series)

Bazemore:  Dislike 

Prince:  Okay

Muscala:  Hate

Plumler:  Hate

Belli:  Okay

Stone:  Indifferent 

Rookies I don't know anything about.

After another showing I hope you changed your mind a little, we are not talking about a scorer on summer league, we are talking about an all around player on Bembry. I think he is a special player and we have nothing to lose by starting him. Tough defender, good passer, good ballhandling, good slasher, just lacks a jumpshot but can definately score, Harden did not have 3pt range on the first years, look at him now....

lol did you really just compare Bembry to Harden? 

I didn't think the Hawks had any space to sign anyone.  

lol sunshine blowers trying to tout Stone into some superstar 

Len for some toughness and defense upfront.  Willie Reed and Ian Clark.  Nobody excites me on that list, but these three guys would be a good addition.  Ideally one of Len/Reed and Clark for some offensive prowess of the bench.

It's not over yet. patience padawan.

Oh wait I am wrong.  They did acquire Bellinelli and Plumplee.  So one semi decent NBA player has been added to the mix.
