Towards the end Jeff looked to settle for jumpers, I'd rather see him take it to the basket everytime

Am just excited to see the teams reaction follow Paul George... Millsap said Paul George's reaction to his 3 ending the third quarter was noticed.

I ain't sure you're being serious about trading Jeff for Kyrie, that would never happen haha. Despite being played by PG, Jeff did his work, MB kept him on the bench too long

Game 2 is where we finally find out if Teague is ready to be a top point guard. No one doubts his ability, it's his inconsistency, good luck Jeff!

When JJ plays like a superstar I regret it, when he doesn't in thankful. He plays less like a superstar than he does, therefore I don't

Oh I forgot to even look at salaries to be fair, I guess ur saying that Al's offense and Millsaps defence cancel each other out.

If you had the choice basing from what we've seen this season, who would you pick? Jefferson averaging pts 21, rbd 10, ast 2Millsap averaging pts 18, rbd 8, ast 3Stats were taken from nba website and rounded to the nearest point. I feel with Jefferson we would have had a true centre to play with Al. I'm not knocking Millsap at all as I feel he's been great for us, but I feel with Jefferson, the ceiling would have been higher.

Depends if Al is willing to stay that long, he could come under the impression his body is weak and wants a championship ASAP so could ask for a trade.

And no body is close to taking our 8th seed, this is bad...

From Ajc - @ajchawks: Hawks close to adding five investors to ownership group. In NBA approval process. Story to come. #ATLHawks.What's everyone thoughts about this? Anyone know how many investors are in the ownership at the moment?

Hopefully Moose contributes big minutes now sharing centre with Brand until Antić is back

Said it last night, gunna say it again, Mike Scott is the Chandler Parsons from the 2012 draft

Is Mike Scott the Chandler Parsons of the 2012 draft? Playing like it recently!

I know this isn't Kaman or Hill related but maybe change the name to trade deadline and keep everything within one topic? Also Evan Turner available for second round picks has been circulating around.

@Hart but wouldn't Lin play PG too, also the contracts are horrendous. The Asik boat has to have sailed off by now, guy has secret injuries and a bad sportsmanship personality by the looks of things this season.

Hawks have signed Cartier to a 10 day contract, not sure who's minutes he could impact, but played well before Lou took his minutes back Nothing official but reported by CViv

Hawks among several teams interested in Ivan Johnson when his season ends in China, per. Chris Viv on twitter.

He looked good today in his minutes, 2/3 from the game with 6 points, 1 assist and a good block. Has a good stroke and can handle the ball. Judged on what we've seen although a very small sample size, he looks an improvement on Jenkins.

Will he be restricted or unrestricted?

But Lucas hasn't played a full NBA season either, how did you come to this conclusion, but Shro a completely different one.

Samuel Dalembert Agrees To Two-Year, $7.5M Deal with Mavericks , guess centre options are thinning.

Id say he's too one dimensional, but them rotations last year in PG at times seems to have improved his ball handling, wouldn't mind Jenks starting with Lou finishing though.

I'm disappointed with this only because of Scott, I really thought he'd get mins. People have mentioned playing him at SF. I remember hearing am interview by him that LDrew expected him to learn how to play SF, and Scott said he was happy to learn and adjust to that position. Hopefully Scott can provide mins both at SF and PF.

From what we seen, Shred looks like he ain't adjusted to D in the NBA, but I say that judging by one summer league game, maybe it was just a one off, but I don't know if we can simply rely on a play maker if on the other end the point guard is constantly blowing through him with screens. Mo Williams is Harris number 2, never consistently healthy. I mean I'd love to see Shred to have a year like Lillard I really do, but we probably on plan G right now and that was signing Teague, better than plan F and Monta I say!

People moan at Ferry saying they are confused with the direction and disappointment at signing Teague, but what option was there? Not sign him then what, sign which point guard? Nobody decent is available, if anything he had to resign Teague and now maybe work a package to trade him elsewhere... Well that's my view...
