Ditto for me, It is hard sometimes, you know. Hawks has been my team since 6 years old, looking it with my Dad. I dont want to change my loyality but ASG is really push it for me.

Yep, I have to agreed with savwboy, you have to remember that every rumor came out, one of his CPIII teams said that he wont extend or resign with that time. Natural, made it so diffcult to trade him because all of the teams in that race wouldn't give them maximum value for it (That is the reason why we didnt offered Teague from him). To quote Vince "Chris screwed Chris" or to bluntly "His Team screw Chris"

I think its was a veto, but not too sure. I understand how people is feeling about this. I was thinking about this all night and I feel like they should done the trade at first, but then reality hits me, Lakers was not only getting the youngest player in this trade but saving over 40 mil in salaries, keep their main asset, all of their draft picks as well. When Williams was trade to Nets, the Nets gave up a ton more than Fakers. So I can understand about that. So at the end, I am netural about this. Besides if you look at all the trade proposals for Paul, the Lakers fail to compare to the Warriors, Clippers, and Hawks deals.

I swear that NBA is just so rigged, it is almost criminal. i can understand why NBA plays fourth fiddle in Atlanta (UGA,Braves,Falcons). I need some hope right now. or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-i0ThFpTnw For good stuff for the eyes.

A little humor about this @WojYahooNBA Breaking: Cuban and other league owners to file a lawsuit against the NBA for anti-trust practices. NBA trade of CP3 was straw that broke the camels back according to sources

it looks like the Lakers won this (Fakers, God I hate them) Its looks like Odom and Byunm for Paul, no draft picks or anything like that

@swift Two question for you 1. When was the last time we had a All-NBA PG playing in Atlanta 2. When was the last time did we had a superstar playing in Atlanta Answer those question you will understand why most people want CPIII here, sure he isnt going to put us over the top but something has to give, we cant contiune getting into second round then stall out. This core has been together for a long time but same result, something has to give. Even if we didnt get him, just us looking at this option tell us that ASG might be commit to get over that hump.

So you saying that CPIII is going to NYK now in a trade. Oh well, life moves on. But hope is not lost, until then let hope that Sund can get that for us.

Umm, nope Besides it will make it clear that D12 will be going to LA Lakers for Byrum and if that happens, I am know that the NBA is rigged and they should switch to NFL rules on F/A.

You are a sad sad man, you dont have dreams do you? But that means Knicks is going to be screw with any other deals they want, and I believe Amare might have a "no trade" clause in his contact but Knicks is going to need alot of more and lot of Knicks fans do not want to lose Amare.

That is beyond crazy for that. I think that is plan stupid, you dont give up no Amare for Paul, even the NOH know this. Somebody trade CPIII so it will be over with.

Probably not with the patience with NOH, they probably dont want that hang over their head during the season. So they will dump him now, so they dont have to go though Melo'drama like Nuggets went though.

mbasuperstar40, Thanks for answering the question. Maybe that is the reason why the Hawks has been silence through the whole ordeal, but I though he like Atlanta but oh well, Atlanta package is good and if he doesnt come, oh well, life moves on.

Geez, yall need to stop being negative. For years, all of us has been complain that the Hawks doesnt do enough to complete but now we are active, this happens. Atleast they trying, so get off their backs First of all, NO doesnt want Rondo period and G/S will not give away Curry (CP3 wont resigned with G/S). So that lead me with this question to nbasuperstar40 (but anybody else who has info, can answer too) Did anybody say that CPIII camp say if Chris Paul was traded here, would he be able to resigned with us? That is hold-up with giving them Teague, If Paul says yes, then trade goes down.

So if the Clippers dont give them Gordon then they might go to C's and just dont trade Paul at all.

Actually it is everywhere right now.

Do Chicago has Bobcats' 1st round draft choice this year too. Just curious about it

Hmm, Rick Sund must have another move in mind and if what I am hearing that Clippers and Warriors might be cooling off talk for YKW, then this might happen.

Let me see: Boston: Rondo is good but Bradley is unknown and those draft picks are going to be in the middle to late 1st round picks. Second best trade for rental but need more for long-term GS: If I remember correctly, Curry father (Dell Curry) use to play for Hornets (with LJ, Zo, Gill) but that is way too much to give up for a rental plus they are going to let Bierins(?) go to get Chandler with a new coach (Mark Jackson) there. This is the best trade for rental but for long-term, I dont know. Plus they might get stuck with Okafor contact too. LAC: That Minny pick is good since we all know that MInny is going to suck this year but without Gordon or Jordan in this deal, this deal isnt all what is crack up to be. Beside they want to get into the D12 race LAL: If was Gasol couple of years ago, then yes but right now, NO! NYK: Next HOR: Maybe but same Divison DAL/ORL; Get into the Williams race ATL: If we are secretly about this, then the package is going to be some like Jeff Teague, Josh Smith, a combination between Marvin, Zaza or even with draft picks. I think that Jeff Teague will thive until Monty Williams system(JT0 is more offense type then CP III) and Josh can be a more younger verison of David West (They will lose in FA this year). only downside that NOH wont get a 1st draft choice this year but next year they will (Age Rule becomes super important). At the end, it is a toss-up between GS and ATL for the best package. Also a good point to remember, Teague, Josh, and any other player in ATL has been to the playoffs and most of them except NYK and BOS, so they are battle tested and still young plus controlable salaries as well.

Dude, Nobody like us, period. We are like the Bad News Bears but in Basketball. They don't take us seriously. and we have been to the second round for three consecutive years. I was comparing all supposed deals and the Hawks were the few that actually make sense but they are on LAC and GSW jock scraps. Oh well, that is the NBA for you.

i am just guessing there, negative nancy believe me I don't want to be a GM. But we do have the pieces, we just need to see if ASG wants to go with it or just content with this group.

They did actually, John Hollinger did it. It was fubar but Atlanta has the package as long CPIII signs long-term. I know that it is a long shot but better to try then not try at all. Besides there is no way unless there is a miracle we will pass the second round in the ECF. Be honest here.

Why?!?!? Let me guess, because we are dealing with ASG.

I see, so It will be Josh Smith Jeff Teague Kirk Hinrich Marvin Williams or 2012 2nd Round Pick 1st Round - 2013 and 2nd Round Pick 1st Round - 2015 (conditional) for Chris Paul (as long he signed long term) Okafor Fillers But the question because if we do that, our chance with resigned Jamal becomes better or worst?

i am already on it, now a question for u. If you were Rick Sound, what package would you make?
