Remember when Joe Johnson was here and Joe was the face of the team? Remember when he left and the Hawks made Josh the face? How can he be the most important after Dominique? The Hawks did make the playoffs every year Al played, but they took Indy to Game 7 one year without him.

I think Howard will make a resurgence. He could very well be an All Star. I hope so.

Probably not the place for a Biblical discussion, but I used to think the Trinity was a Biblical concept. It isn't. It is anachronistically read back into the text. I have personally investigated every proof text and looked into the history. (Trinitarian belief did not become popular until after Tbeodosius made it law in the 4th century.)

I'm an unorthodox Christian. I used to be orthodox, but have changed a lot over the years.

Trinity is a post biblical concept that has become a long standing tradition. The Bible never sets forth the number 3 as a holy number. Eight is not a holy number per se. Numbers themselves aren't homy but they stand for something symbolically. Eight is significant.

I'd argue that 3 isnt holy Biblically. There are a lot of numbers that are significant in different ways. Eight has already been pointed out as a number meaning "new."

The 8th day is the day little Jewish boys were circumcized and brought into God's covenant. But more importantly the 8th day is the day of resurrection. When old things become new. Jesus was raised on the day after the Sabbath, which is the 7th day. The 8th day ushers in a new and better covenant. Highly symbolic. Seems Dwight understands it very well.

So now we can call Dwight, "Date." As in D8... lol

Hence the controversy!

Is 44 available? That's my guess if so.

Got all the respect in the world for DeMarre.

It all starts with drafting top talent. Sometimes it takes a little luck, but youbhave to put yourself in position to hit the homerun. Next year's class is said to be loaded. Hope the Hawks are creative and get up there and find a difference maker.

Want to make it clear that you did not see the words "tank," "firesale," etc. In the original post. I'm not suggesting the Hawks just lose as many games as possible to get a top pick. I am suggesting considering trading a couple of the older vets that can net assets that give us ammunition to position ourselves for such a pick... Sap included.

Check out @daldridgetnt's Tweet: Let me just say that the NBA really makes me want to puke. Atlanta's inability to attract stars is further fueled in today's NBA where teams are allowed to have clusters of stars. What has made the Warrior's great? What has put them in this position? (I dont blame them for getting KD. I blame the league for allowing such gross imbalance, even though this case is a little different) It was drafting. At least in the case of the Warriors, unlike the Celtics and Heat,they didn't sign 2 max guys. They drafted two and are able to add another. Atlanta simply must find a way to add a star talent player via the draft. This is how the image can change and star FA's will look to Atlanta. Can the FO be honest enough to see that and do what is necessary even if it hurts a little now?

The NFL is the best pro league in America. Competitive Balance. And Durant is a hypocrit and a pu**y.
