Only current player I've met was Korver two Christmases ago in the Macy's shoe department at Lenox. He was there with his brothers. I didn't want to bother him for a picture or anything, just told him I was a big fan and was extremely happy to have him in Atlanta. Nice guy.

Hawks look like they might trade Muscala to make room for Millsap???  Wow!

Where are you seeing this?

If he came cheap, I wouldn't be opposed to Wes. As long as you don't overpay, worst case scenario he's a capable bench player.

2nd round picks are more like 7th round picks in the NFL. It is rare you get one that makes any impact.

 

The only reason I can think we made this trade was to lower the rookie contract for the cap to try and maybe sign someone as a FA

Exactly. And why not get some gamble 2nd rounders, too? We've done pretty well with them over the last few years.

Heard this also, but I don't see how either player really fits into our system (right now). Mudiay isn't exactly a shooter and Okafor doesn't offer much at this point beyond low post scoring.

Anything would be an upgrade over our current uniforms. Still gotta give credit to them for trying something original.

 

- White jersey is my favorite. Probably gonna buy it.

- Red characters over black jersey is not a good idea. If you compare the "ATLANTA" of the white and black jerseys, you can see how indistinct the characters on the black jersey are. The "HAWKS" on the black shorts is barely even visible...

- Similarly red jersey would have been awesome if they wrote "ATL" with lime green instead of black and if they hadn't used that weird font. What is wrong with the "A"? They are still better than the black jerseys though.

 

Overall I like the uniforms, could have been better though.

There's nothing original about adding Volt/Lime Green to the new uniforms, it's the running jersey trend and the team is going to have to change them again in the next few years when the trend fades.

They seems like they are going for potential and the fit. 

 

Short List: 

Oubre

Booker

Looney

Hollis-Jefferson

 

It's unlikely we are drafting an underclassman. 

Yet every single player you just put on your "short list" is an underclassmen...

Logging in for the first time in like 6+ months just to say how absolutely atrocious these uniforms look. I'm legitimately embarrassed to be a Hawks fan right now.

How on Earth do you figure that Butler is behind Beal, LouWill, Wade and DeRozan...?

That's awesome, hopefully he's on the Spurs roster for a little while so I can catch a few of his games.

Just read C-Viv's article speculating Payne will only be with the Spurs for their current 3 game stretch - buying tickets for this Sunday vs. OKC Blue.

I agree this would be an awful trade. Houston insider said they've had discussions. I think Teague would become a damn all star in Houston. I hope Bud's not biting on this

A point guard starting/playing next to Harden will never be an All Star.

How can Harden's season be historically great when he's leading the league in turnovers and shooting like crap?

Which league are you in? Squawk I or II?

Numero dos.

Completely forgot about the draft, as my girlfriend had just arrived after driving halfway across the country and I was a little busy.

I absolutely hate my team.

I thought it was cool that it was Tweeted by Carmelo as well. 

That's not actually Carmelo's twitter...

This is just terrible.

I let yahoo randomly pick the draft order, check the draft result page on the league page to see where everyone will draft.

Yeah that's what I was referring to, thanks boss.

Ohhhhh okaaayyyy...$hits gettin real now huh..

Man, just looking at the pre-draft rankings things are all kinds of different than last year. People drafting DeAndre Jordan in the 4th round when he was like my 11th or 12th rounder last season.

Sothron, now that we have 12 folks in can you go ahead and randomize the draft order?

I'd like to do some mock drafts in the same position I'll be drafting for the league.

I really hope this never happens.

Bosh does everything Millsap does offensively and he does it better.

I like Millsap as much as the next Hawks fan, but no way he's the best scoring PF in the NBA.

Even if you want to throw Melo out and call him a SF, there's still Dirk, Bosh, KLove, and LaMarcus Aldridge.

David West is an underrated scorer, too.

Did he make those 3's? 

He hit a fair amount of them, nice rotation on his jumpers.

Keep in mind we're talking high school 3 point line, although some were from the college line area. I never saw him attempt or hit an NBA range 3 in a game though.

So is he anything more than a big body? Need someone in camp to bang on our bigs.

Hard to tell in pickup games.

I mean, he threw it down and blocked the hell out of people anytime he wanted, but then he'd turn around and shoot pull up 3s in transition.

Overall, I don't see him making the team, but he is a big dude who can throw his weight around in camp.

Are we capping the 2nd league at 12 teams?
