I think Teague and Schröder will play at the same time often this year. Teague has played off the ball before and I think that he and Schröder in the game at the same time could be good for this team. I wouldn't count out the possibility of a Schröder/Teague starting backcourt sometime this season.

4. First Look: Dennis SchröderBy Kevin Pelton | ESPN.com Through two games in Las Vegas, Dennis Schröder has done nothing to dismiss comparisons to Rajon Rondo. Like Rondo, Schröder's exceptional quickness enables him to penetrate on offense and pressure opposing ballhandlers. He used good footwork to hound Miami guard Anthony Marshall all night Sunday, forcing eight turnovers, and handed out eight assists. The Rondo similarity extends to Schröder's weaknesses. He missed both perimeter attempts -- one was wide right by at least a foot -- and he'll have to make the simple pass rather than forcing the issue and turning the ball over, as he did three times. Kevin Pelton is an NBA Insider for ESPN.com.

I think the thing I like most about Dennis so far is how active he is on D. The guy is a thief.

I like him and think he could be good but the way Bebe was getting moved around on the block is concerning. He's so small that he was just getting bullied out of position for rebounds even when trying to box out. I believe it was Samardo Samuels that was just overpowering him in our first summer league game. If Samardo Samuels is going to do that just imagine what a big body in the NBA is going to do. If I had woken up this morning and heard he put on 40 lbs between last night and this morning though...

Honestly, Supes, if you're going to stay, that's great, stay, happy to have ya. BUT, you're going to have to change your username again. You're not retired anymore, you're back again, like MJ, in full swing. New username! nbasupes40retiredjustkiddingimbackagain

Poor Colin.

YEA, BLAME TEAGUE!!! He told Ferry he wanted to leave but was forced to stay so let's all make him feel even shittier about his situation. I will make a twitter right now so I can be sure to talk shit to him too!!! YEA!!!

And we wonder why no FA wants to come to Atlanta. Let's just keep bashing our own players. Classy.

love this.

I love how far out he was when he jumped to block that shot.

Wish you would've read my whole post. That's why I said I don't want to get into the highlight tape argument. I just posted those vids because they're fun to watch. That said, Teague will have his best year yet this year. I'm calling 16 and 8.8 just like I called the Schröder pick the week of the draft. Mark it.

No no. Ish Smith would play PG because Ish Smith was another very good guard and Wake's best chance to win was when the two of them were in the game. Remember, Ish Smith is also an NBA player. Jeff was very aggressive in the ACC. He used to take it to the rim and dunk nasty on people all the time. I remember watching him all the time because I was at UNC the same time he was at WF. He takes it to the rim in the NBA too. I think we all need to just chill and see what Jeff can do without Smoove running the point. Give him the ball and let him run the floor And just for fun, here are some vids of Teague throwing down in college. Don't want to get into the highlight tape argument but these are fun.

Quack Quack

http://forums.prosportsdaily.com/showthread.php?828802-Can-Al-Horford-be-the-best-or-2nd-best-player-on-a-title-contender Came across this thread in another forum I look at from time to time. I'm sure a lot of you do the same. I thought that y'all would find this interesting as one poster has said he thinks that Al would be the best PF in the NBA if he got to move there. Thought some of y'all might like to follow this.

Uh, so what's next? Schröder really is going to start for us?

Oh my lord Benhill, this I just ridiculous. only difference is he's actually helped win something? Did Joe have two superstars playing with him in Atlanta? NO. Did he have even one more star playing with him in Atlanta? NO. Did Paul Pierce do anything in the playoffs without Garnett and Allen? NO. You put Garnett and Ray Allen on the Hawks in 08 and guess what...we f'ing win. How many were better than Vince Carter was in Toronto at his position? Gilbert was top what at his position on the Wizards? Ray Allen in Seattle? KG was the best in the league at his position at the time he was in Minnesota right? If not the best, def top 2 (Duncan). T-Mac was top what in the league in Orlando/Houston? Def top 3 at SF. Did Dirk even make the playoffs this year. I'm not understanding what this has to do with jack right now. I love that one player is expected to make their team one of the best in the league. Especially after we just watched the best player in the planet put his tail between his legs and go to Miami to play with two more superstars.

When's the next time y'all think we will have a 6 time all-star on this roster? Everyone loves Al but is he going to make 5 more, even 1 more all-star appearances? Maybe, but probably not. JJ was taken for granted. If he had the personality of D-Wade or even if he had the personality of a guy that's now popular on this board, Brandon Jennings, I think a lot of opinions would be different. Also, JJ was NOT just a jump shooter. He got to the rim all the time. His hop step and then little flip floater was potent. If he had dunked more instead of laid it in I bet you would think different. Did he get overpaid? Yes, he did. But he was the best thing that happened to this franchise since Nique. And I can't rip the guy for dissing the fans, I really can't. It kills me to go to Philips and see so many people rooting against our guys. That's got to suck. Has anybody worked at a place where you felt completely unappreciated even though you were one of the top performers? Does that make you feel good? Because most of the time when that happens to people, they find another job and quit. JJ never quit on us like Dwight quit on Orlando, like Melo quit on Denver, like Deron Williams quit on Utah. All the guy did was come to work every day and do his job better than 99% of the other 2 guard in the league.

I freaking love Steve. He is the only guy besides one of us that could call Hawks games as well as he does. THE HEAT HAVE RESORTED TO THUGGERY!

Wow such a wave of emotions as I read through this thread. Joy, Confusion, Sadness

I think it was estimated to be 2 yrs 5 million

Let's all pitch in and go out and get #1 and #2.

I for one am all for it. If he works out it's huge. When healthy this guy is the best offensive center in the game. Him and Horf starting down low is the best frontline in the game. Most of y'all are complaining about being mediocre again. If we sign him and it works out, we're better than we used to be, if it doesn't work out, we'll probably stink because we won't have any money left so there you go, no more middle of the pack. We'll either be up there or we'll be horrendous for a few years. Seems like what everyone on this board wants. Bring on Bynum!

Can we put something in there that would pay Bynum more money if he plays X amount of games instead of Y amount? He gets X amount if he is an All-Star as opposed to Y amount? And so on?

No doubt Bynum is a great basketball player. I think only thing people are hung up on is his knee situation.

Glad you posted this. Can someone help me out and tell me where I can see our summer league roster? For some reason I'm having trouble finding it.
