To be honest this is an accurate representation of the 2010 playoffs.

I have always been a pro tank kind of person but no way I am supporting that pathway now after seeing our drafting for the past few years. We would just keep drafting the oldest most "nba ready" or trade away our picks for win now players in order to try to get ourselves out of the lottery and be right back on the treadmill.

If "Bud Ball" means getting swept again then Im glad he doesn't fit that mold.

Cause those teams know how to make strategic trades and draft well. All we know how to do is draft bust, clear cap space, and make trades for 2nd round picks and backups

The fact that we have been a middle of the road playoff team for almost a decade and are still facing the same problems that we have had in 2008, I don't think we are overreacting at all.

Lol that trash package isn't getting Hayward no matter what connection we have with Utah. Those are the kind of trades that gets people fired.

Not sure why he wasnt promised major mins here. We dont have any starting caliber SGs or SFs.

We cant sign both unless we start dumping people for nothing. Al has a cap hold of 18 million which leaves us with exactly $10.3 million in cap space and that doesnt even include resigning Baze.

LOL of course as soon as I say this the bench brings us back into the game.

When you look at the bench, does he have much of a choice?

6,8, 24 years old averages close to 18ppg per game with 4 assist while shooting 40% from 3 and is locked into a long term contract at only 12 mil per. He would of been a steal if we could of gotten him. No way the bucks were going to let him go for teague.

the only thing rudy gay will do is eat up possessions with shooting terrible efficiency and low bbiq.

Watching AL get beasted by a no - knee having Amare last night, I say AL is more of a glorified Andrea Bargnani.

I wish I would have this information, because I can't seem to find it again but analytics show that the hawks starting line up has a negative net rating.

The fact that the raptors are 7th in overall rebounding (top 5 in defensive rebounding) while we are at the bottom in every rebounding category , I question if their frontcourt is better than ours too.

Greg Monroe sucks, hes like AL Jefferson. He will put up some attractive box score numbers but doesnt help teams win more games. Any team that are heavy in the analytics will stay far away from him. Statistically, the bucks were a much better team when Zaza was the starting center because he did all the little things that Monroe doesnt do such as setting effective screens or boxing out. http://www.sbnation.com/2015/12/2/9837458/zaza-pachulia-mavericks-bucks-breakdown-stats

Do you have any suggestions? There arent any moves we can make they can put us on the CLE/SAS/GSW tier. We dont have the assets or the talent to make the kind of moves cleveland made last year that would propel us to elite status. The Horford for Greg Monroe or Teague for Ariza type trades people are suggesting are lateral moves at best. Nothing short of us getting 2 top 10 players in return would give us any shot against the top tier teams.

I dont think this team is that much closer to a title than the joe johnson hawks. Our performance in the playoffs was pretty joe johnson hawks esque. We struggled against mediocre 30 and 40 win teams and showed that we didnt belong on the ECF stage against elite competition. Our performance against the cavs mirrored the joe johnson hawks whenever we faced a top tier team in the playoffs. Swept and blown out in embarrassing fashion.

Please kill all of the Al Horford = Tim Duncan talks. I dont want to hear anymore comparisons at all. Comparing the two is an embarrassment to the greatness of Tim Duncan. 40 year old Duncan >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Prime Al Horford.

I doubt it. I think thabo will start and we will see alot of 2 PG line ups with Korver at SF. Bud has zero trust in THJ right now. He cant even get garbage time mins. Im surprised he hasnt been assigned to the D-League yet.

Way too much attention and enthusiasm for a mediocre starting SF.

I was alittle worried about what we gave up but we basically got a starting caliber center making under 10 mil for free. We actually used our cap flexibility to get an asset for once

the SF market is drying up fast, Im fearing we are going to make a very short sighted trade for a SF. I cant imagine us relying on an aging/rehabbing thabo to be our full time starting SF.

i think we did but staying in the same city and playing in the same building sounds more enticing than having to move across the country.

lmao people were arguing over this scrub for 7 pages and we dont even get him.
