I'd go for Monroe and keep Horford... Millsap is going to command a much larger contract next offseason. I know he stepped up last year when Horford went down but I didn't really get to see enough with both of them on the floor to determine if it is a good fit. The only problem with moving Horford to the 4 is that he can't stretch the floor and shoot the long ball. I'd go for a sign and trade for Monroe ( which I heard Detroit would want to do if they don't match a max offer ). Send them Millsap, Salmons ( salary dump and maybe a second round pick to make them happy. That should leave us with about $8 mill or so to low ball Deng with lol.

I just thought it was hilarious... I love reading comments on the Hawks Facebook page.

Demario Harvey what do u call a team that goes from 3 best in the east to 8 best THE ATLANTA HAWKS. how jeff teague sorry ass gonna try and hit a free throw and miss it but then try to miss a free throw and hit.

Eh it was for cash considerations...

Always with the washed up has beens. Welcome to Atlanta where former all stars come to die.

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachineI might would do this, losing Lou would suck but if we could get Rondo and Green...

I'd be fine with it if Jeff Green wasn't making so much money... We will have to give up too much to make this work.

The first day we signed Paul I knew it was a great move... We got him for an awesome price and I knew he would fit well. I remember there were many opposed to the move because he was a "B grade" type player and everyone was pissed at Ferry. Maybe this was mainly the Smoove lovers... But there is a reason Paul Millsap made the all star team his first year as a Hawks and Smoove could not do it in 9.

We have been talking about this for the past 7 years... If one star comes blah blah blah. NO STARS ARE COMING, give me a break already.

I'm done with going to games. Went to about 25 last year and already 6 this year. Philips ushers have been really unpleasant this year and they've changed their policies about meeting the players pre game... Plus our main security guard acts stupid and makes the Hawks players sign in black that is usually faded, I'm so done with Philips Arena.

You're better off taking him to a small market game. $25-30 for 100 level tickets that way, against the Clippers they will be super expensive.

If only the Hawks had a star... Then we would play on Christmas day.

I came across this on Craigslist today... http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/spo/4148416306.html Someone buy the Hawks, PLEASE! (Atlanta ) For sale: A professional basketball team within the largest city in the south. This team already has an established fan base, however, those numbers are dwindling quickly. Not to worry!! These existing fans CAN BE RETAINED and new fans added within a short time. Requirements: Potential buyer must be single individual; this position is no longer open to an amalgam of sue-happy, squabbling do nothings. If you are interested in the purchase of the team to use ownership as bragging rights at the country club, this position is NOT for you. This buyer must be goal oriented and driven towards the attainment and retainment of super star athletes, rebuilding and driving a sustainable brand and achieving the ultimate goal of an NBA championship REPEATIDLY. Those interested must be invested in the city of Atlanta as equally as the Atlanta Hawks, i.e NOT MOVING THE TEAM TO ANOTHER CITY. The team is valued at roughly $200 million, however it could probably be attained for a STEAL at $150 million. In addition, selling jerseys, posters, signed balls, or any other memorabilia from any other team in efforts just to make an extra buck will result in immediate termination. Interested candidates can contact the Atlanta Hawks front office directly. 1 Philips Drive (google map) (yahoo map)
