Really? And which shots are those?

Who is better from 3? - Jennings

Who is better from jumpshot range? - Jennings

Who is better from inside? - Teague

But you want which guy? The guy worse at all of those areas, Ellis, or the guy worse in 2 out of 3 areas, Teague? Because I find it odd that anyone wouldn't want the guy who's better in 2 out of the 3 areas, including the most important in the Spurs offense, the 3, where Jennings shot 38% last year and 35% for his career.

Actually you can't say Jennings is a better 3pt shooter than Teague.

Here's the past 3 years from each:

Jennings:

32%

33%

38%

Teague:

38%

34%

35%

And none of your post really matters when Jennings is on averaging using those "skills" to put the ball in less than 40% of the time for his career.

And how to you validate this statement?

Jennings:

15 ppg on 37%

16 ppg on 39%

19 ppg on 42%

17 ppg on 40%

Bad shooter EVERY YEAR nothing has changed.

Jeff Teague

3 ppg, 2 apg, 40%

5 ppg, 2 apg, 44%

13 ppg, 5 apg, 2 rpg, 1.5 spg 48%

15 ppg, 7 apg, 2 rpg, 1.5 spg, 45%

Steady improvement yearly.

Ahh gotta love basic blanket FG% statements...

You don't have to dig to deep to realize Jennings misses FAR MORE shots than he makes.

People will be singing a different tune when Jennings comes to Atlanta averaging 16 ppg on 38% shooting while Teague keeps steadily improving upping his averages to 17 ppg, 8 apg, on 46% shooting.

I'd take Jeff EVERY SINGLE day of the week. I can't believe people are content with a player scoring 17 ppg on 37% shooting every year.

Jeff has gotten better every single year. Scores WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more efficiently, more APG despite somehow being the "worse" playmaker, I mean the choice is obvious. I think people are way to caught up with "swag" style of play.

How can people actually want to sign this guy? This fanbase has a really weird idea on people who will be good for the team. Someone who plays 15 games and sits on the bench as well as someone who will shoot 37% every year but not 24 ppg on 45% shooting?

The original post is the most ridiculous post. Signing Monta would be a disaster when he'll likely average 23 ppg on 45% shooting for 12 mill, BUT Jennings WILL be a great signing averaging 17 ppg on 38% shooting for 12 million LMAO. The people on the Jennings train who don't support Monta are massive hypocrites.

Hope he accepts their offer. This would be an AWFUL pickup

. But yeah let's hold 45% career average up as our standard!

I may just delete Hawksquawk if we sign Monta f'n Ellis. It would seriously piss me off.

Monta hasn't been close to even a pathetic 45% in over 4 years now. He was at .416 last year. That's absolutely disgusting for a "scorer".

He shot 45% 2 years ago.... The year before he went to the BUCKS.

EVERY year before the bucks was 45% or higher.

The same us as every member on this site refers to. Don't be a d*ck.

Getting Brandon Jennings would be one of the worst mistakes this franchise would ever make. 17 ppg on 38% shooting every year for 12 million a year!!! FUN!!

Ellis has proved he can score upwards to 24 ppg on 45% shooting.

At the same $$ amount I'd prefer Jennings over Ellis simply because of ability to become a better player, but none of them (Teague included) are worth as much as Al Horford. At $12 million they can kick rocks as far as I'm concerned.

How much of a hypocrite could you be my god. You say a you don't want an ineficiant chucker, you say players won't just "change their stripes" changing teams. I promise you Jennings will come to Atlanta and shoot sub 40% like his CAREER average. Monta has a history of good shooting so that's why I can get behind signing him.

I bet signing Monta Ellis is sounding REALLLLLLLY good to those opposed to him now.

There was a time when I blindly accepted anything the Hawks did and cheered for them. So I understand how you feel right now.

I bet I'll enjoy watching the Hawks much more than you next year.

Korver at least attempts to play defense. He's not good at it, but you can count on him to give effort. Just go look at that video someone posted earlier where Monta just stands there and watches the ball rotate around the court for an open shot. I've seen Monta play at least a hundred games in his career and he's one of the laziest defenders I've ever seen. All he does is try and get cheap steals to pad his stats.

LOL you cherry pick that and say that's how he always plays. I guarantee you can find something similar for Korver. You have a bias hate for him and you're deluded right now. Give it some time. He's not a great defender but you can't say one thing about someone but it's ok for someone else to do the same thing.

Im confident that Monta will have success with the Hawks. 23 ppg on 46% shooting. Horford and Millsap can take a lot of pressure off Ellis he had in Milwaukee. He had to do pretty much everything. You can't freely help off Horford or Millsap because they're great shooters. same with Korver. I feel like he'll see more open lanes to drive down than he did in Milwaukee.

Maybe he had an off year...? People get to caught up in the moment. This same player in his past years:

22 ppg 43%

24 ppg 45%

26 ppg 45%

19 ppg 45%

20 ppg 53%

18 ppg 48%

He's not as bad as people make him out to be.

The one thing I hate about all you stupid, sad, depressed debbie downers is you think you are SOOOO much smarter than everyone else because you never learned how to enjoy things in life and be happy for what you do have rather than angry or mad at what you don't have. (blank)dude81 is probably someone who gets very jealous of people more successful than him because he doesn't have what they have. Seriously that dude is a psyco I'm dead serious. I've literally in my entire life NEVER seen anyone more negative than him. Dude needs to get over him self and stop being so selfish to try to bring everyone down to his sad level. Not everyone wants to cry, whine, and bitch about everything like you do. And that's exactly what he wants, he doesn't wanty you to be happy he wants to be a selfish prick and try and make sure everyone is as despressed and negative as him. Im f***ing sick of his shit

I can't believe I am defending him but he has a right to his opinion ... Even if it is a complaining one. He has been around a lot longer then you and I also don't recall him ever making racist comments. If you don't like his posts then just ignore them.

He called Zaza Pachulia a worthless foreigner and went on to try to justify it saying he makes racist remarks about every race (which makes it even worse). Plus he's a blatant troll. Who cares how long he's been on this forum? It's still clear as day he's trolling. No sane person posts negativity no matter what. Post count and join date shouldn't put you above the rules, he's a troll and he will continue to troll. Just get rid of him before he does it more, this place will be a lot more pleasant when he's gone. I don't post a lot obviously but I do lurk a lot and whenever I see (blank)dude81 post i already know it's a worthless troll post.

Why isn't (blank)dude81 banned here yet? He's the most worthless waste of space on this forum. He's a confirmed racist and confirmed bandwagoner. He told me he would not support the Hawks unless they were the best team in the league. He's just a troll who has no business being on a Hawks forum. You don't have to tolerate his nonsense, trolling, and racist remarks.

Teague is the best player on the Hawks plain and simple. No one even try and tell me that unagressive Horford is better than him. If Teague were getting adaquate minutes he'd be averaging around 22.5 ppg, 9 apg, and 3.5 spg and rediculous shooting precentage

Huh?! Have you watched the games??

Huh?! Have you watched the games??

This. Teague gets about as hyped as anyone in the league when he makes a big play. That rim hang on the "charge" dunk was epic.

I think he is being vastly overrated don't like what any of his moves do to us on the court. His moves have been good as far as the future salary cap goes though. He is simply allowing people to live in fantasy world with the thoughts of potential free agents and they are enjoying the possibilities. To sum it up, I don't think he has a concrete plan that can be executed to get us to the next level.

Good lord you're so negative. Stop I seriously can't stand the negativity/pesimism it's outragious. I mean how can you live with such a negative outlook on everything and never see positives. It legiti annoys me that you have NEVER since you have EVER joined the forum ever made a contribution to a discussion and just spewed negative junk without ever saying how to resolve. You've NEVER said anything positive once. And WHO IS THAT IN YOUR AVATAR? It frustrates me to see your avatar too because i have no idea why he's even in your avatar and it's just incredibly random. /rant (sorry i had to just get everything out on the table because I'm sick of this guy) Weren't you the guy who wanted to keep the same team that got knocked out of the 1st or 2nd round every single year?

Teague Harris Williams Jemkins Morrow Stevenson Am I missing anyone?

Typical negative post from Mr. Meltdown. Can't see a positive in anything even in something that is purely positive. Why come on here if all your gonna do is whine? Or are you a Heat fan in disguise trolling?
