Hawkxan1

Here ya go: http://www.nba.com/hawks/playoffs/viewing_11.html

Trying to be sarcastic, didn't go so well apparently. I thought it was interesting that the top 12 most cost effective teams all made the playoffs while the10 least cost effective didn't.

http://blogs.forbes.com/sportsmoney/2011/04/15/the-most-and-least-payroll-efficient-nba-teams/ Thank god that ASG is making money per win this season (having an efficiency ratio below 100%). ...funny thing is, I actually appreciate the fact that we lost the last 6 games. It all makes sense now. We lost those games to spite the ASG and it cost them a couple million bucks. Very nice. Side note: Crazy to think we have the same payroll as Memphis and San Antonio. And the Bulls PR is only 52 mil? Nuts..

Wow, hadn't seen that before. Amazing vid.

It's kind of like you don't even read what I write. I never said you didn't play basketball... And for sure, I'm not looking to clash either. Just wanted to point out how I saw the situation. Nothing wrong with differing opinions.

Fair enough lol

Something to consider: I wouldn't expect the refs to be too nice to Dwight considering how many T's he's racked up these season. Refs league-wide know who the leader in tech's is, especially when it's a player of Dwight's caliber. When a player is complaining all game and throwing tantrums they aren't very likely to get the calls.

Agreed. Etan isn't a horrible defender. At a minimum he can get in there and bug Dwight...hopefully to the point where he can make him get T'd up.

Well that should motivate his buddy Smoove to win, huh? :yes:

He was on a Bulls team who was still emerging from the post-Jordan era, and only recently have they become relevant again. So fine people like yourself who don't watch/follow basketball probably wouldn't notice. And Bibby was a better scorer than Hinrich? No kidding. Bibby was always a better offensive player than Hinrich. The thing is, Bibby was always about offense, and now that he's gotten older his defense is even more of a glaring issue. Where as Hinrich is a more complete player at this point in his career (another thing you wouldn't notice when you're only looking at the stat sheet). But hey, at least you did watch one game where Hinrich played 17 minute in an essentially meaningless game. p.s. At what point in the other post did I say Hinrich was a better scorer than Bibby? (where you said I was spewing half-truth)

Yea Hinrich's really been tossed around the league considering he spent seven years in Chicago (where he was productive). He was then traded from a rebuilding team in order to get a young player and a pick. At least know what you're talking about before you spew out hate. And btw, I don't think anybody was expecting him to be a cure-all for the Hawks. But he is an upgrade over Bibby.

Sounds like he's good to go. http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nba/783/player?r=1

I voted Joe at 80% is better simply because Jamal plays better off the bench. Jamal is/should be the leader off the bench, and to mess with that chemistry (or lack there of) would be a horrible idea in the playoffs.

Coming from someone who recently proposed, best of luck man (I'm sure it'll go well however you do it :biggrin: ). It should definitely be special for both of you, and absolutely DON'T let fear of something stop you from doing it a certain way.

Like others said, after those last 6 games you really just have to hope so. If not...ugh.

Hit the nail on the head. You can't just abandon a talent like Smoove when there is there is so much potential that would be left on the table.

Is Ainge gone for the Perkins trade? Is the guy who brought Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett to the Celtics (who won an '08 championship) gone after moving a defensive center/head-case pg for a super versatile sf/pf and a decent center? You don't boot a guy for making a trade before you even see how it pans out. As for Sund, definitely more likely to be fired than Ainge :derisive:

You can get so much more value out of smoove than Gortat and Warrick that this trade is just unreal. But, then again we are owned by ASG and Sund is our Gm so hey, anything can happen.

Amen.

Hey now, let's leave Big Ten Football out of this. IOWA :clapping:

First place....whaddup (Yea I know it probably won't last long :kickcan: )

should have known...

Let's do it.

Hopefully, if he DOES take it off for some reason, he'll go 0-35 and realize that he needs that thing glued to his scalp.

Definitely a talented kid. It was a bad trade in terms of we probably didn't have to give him up. But we have to move on...And JaVale Mcgee, 11 blocks? haha
