um yeah I don't thinks it's possible because we would have to give up some key players mainly smoove to get him and that's not going to happen, so just cut the crap! It is more than apparent that the idea here is to build around joe, al, and smoove but you guys constantly CONSTANTLY keep talking about "oh we need to trade smoove" when it's not going to happen. let me ask you a question why would the hawks bother to pitch to joe that we have two 10 players on our team in al and smith if they were just going to trade one of them? I'm mean seriously come on! This is why I keep saying you guys are fans and are complelty void of any sense of what's actually a possibility for the team at this point based on recent events and the clear direction they are going. the Melo trade is the only thing that I see as a posiblity becasue we could convince them to move him while keeping the 3 main guys. example: denver stated they would trade him if he doesn't resign, so the hawks could put together a package deal of marvin, bibby, and possibly chillz. now why would denver take these guys and not demand smoove. well, it's a matter of need. they don't need him!!!!! they don't need a guy to play PF, no way smoove can replace Melo, so they would need to address that with multiple guys i.e. Marvin/chillz. Now why Bibby? well, if Melo does leave it's a good possiblity billups would either get moved or demand one, that would leave lawson to run the show and bibby could be a good solid vet to play point.(not saying he would start). Now back to this Okafor, Paul crap. NO CHANCE IN HELL that okafor is a better fit for this team then smoove. not a chance him and al on the floor at the same time is more productive than our current line up. like I said before the only marquee guy I see us potentially acquiring is melo, and that's a long shot. the hawks will acquire shaq in free agency, trade marvin, to golden state for either monta or beidrin, chillz will be back, and other free agents will sign but mark my words their will be some variety of what I just stated on the radar for the remainder of the off season. So please stop wasting time talking about hoop dreams that will never happen int his life or the next!!!

I'll relax i'm just tired of this thread where people state stupid things like you just did. DONE!

did you not see the part where I said idiouts plz don't reply with crap about paul or trading smoove. If you think okafor is better than smoove than your disabled no way the combo of horford and okafor would be more porductive starters. was okafor an all-star or close to it...HELL NOO!! so please, your entitled to your opinion but maybe you should rather try expressing without your head in the toilet. just a suggestion.

LOL yeah right except when davis was injured/is injured, they definitely played him at the point for a substantial portion of the until the draft. we are talking about recent history not 06. such a whistling jackass.

You sir speak the truth. ESPN would have never said this had he gone to NY. they would be slobbering over how good of a move it was and oooh is lebron going to join him now? I hate those guys!

that's such and of for those who can't understand a clear typo.

"and suck in general" WOW you have got to love the posters on this forum. I have never seen suck lack or knowledge or common sense from supposed sports guys in my life!

really!? Wow!!! So your telling me if the hawks got monta they wouldn't play him at the point LOL!!! What a clown you are, your one of the ones I was telling not to reply to my post because your clearly a fan and not much of a sports guy. LMFAO ....So who played the point before they drafted curry lol!? oh and RJ not an upgrade to Marvin, genius LOL.

I was listening to all the chatter about possible trades and free agent pick ups and was wondering, what would be the dream scenario for this off season. well, I think it would have to goo something like this: First Joe johnson states he will actively pursue other free agents to come to Atlanta. OK, so we need a SF why not go after the best available one on the market Richard Jefferson? If we truly plan on moving Marvin I think this would be the ideal situation. We move Marvin and mike to Golden state and maybe some cash consideration/picks for Monta Ellis, Beidrins. Then we get rid of Joe smith, Collins, or Morris in some combination. Second we try to get chillz back at a reasonable price. this way we would have three/four viable SF options. RJ, JCHILLZ, JJ, MO Third we go hard for Shaq. With two or three possible bigs gone we need some more beef. Shaq would be the obvious solution. So we could roll out a starting lineup next year of: Monta, JJ, RJ, JSMOOVE, HORFORD. Second unit: Teague, Crawford, Chillz, Zaza, Shaq Six Man: Crawford/ Chillz. Depending on the situation I see us using either one as the first option off the bench. if we need scoring go with Crawford, foul trouble or size/quickness issues go with chillz. Free roamer: Mo, He can be used in various situation but his role would be substantially reduced with chillz, RJ, and Crawford on the Team. So what do you guys think, is this a actual posibility? ....Oh and PLEASE no trade Smoove, Melo, CP3 crap! Those people are obviously just fan and know nothing about basketball what so ever!
