While I think Morey has had a handful of misses during the draft and FA, I can't lie and say they didn't do a good job on the OKC trade. That trade was very good. Also the Lowry trade was one of the trades of the year. They did well. I like what Ferry has done and he can still do more.

I don't see the tweet?

He used Jeff a lot in a PG friendly offense. Not sure why Jeff would dislike LD. I can see Josh not liking LD but not JT. Sometimes you guys greatly overrate Jeff. LD did a good job with Teague. He used Jeff to his strengths even if his weaknesses showed, LD did his job.

I think he has already proven to be the best GM in Hawks history. An elite draft. Blew up a clear treadmill team. Has money to sign a superstar in D12 and even if we fail, I still see this off-season as a success unless we do something to plug us into the aybss again. Then I will look at him as a failure.

Yeah, if Teague signed the QO he would be attainable because his QO is only 4.18 which is a cool mil under the full MLE. Of course, with his talent and value as a player, I can see someone like Milwaukee who has a lot of cap offering him a 4/30 deal which would clearly put him above that threshold. They have money and LD last year had good success with Teague/Harris backcourt and I don't think he is scared to do a Jennings/Teague backcourt as well as use Teague as the 6th man for the Bucks.

This was explained in another thread. It would extremely hard. Here is the Teague conundrum Let's say we want to resign Jeff for 5-6 mil for a year. That would have to get Iggy or Smoove to take 8 mil at the most in their first year. We can't resign Korver and we would have to start Jenkins which isn't bad. With this roster, we can resign Teague but it will be at the sacrifice of money from Iggy and Smoove and no resigning of Korver. Teague 5-6 Jenkins 1.25 Iggy or Smoove 8 Horford 12 D12 20.5 Bench Lou 5.2 Bebe 1.38 Schröder 1.42 Scott 788k Mack 794k Cunningham 1.2 Mike M. 450k This is how we can resign Teague and keep Smoove or sign Iggy. This would be ideal in my view: Look at this for example: Schröder 1.42 Korver 3 Iggy or Smoove 8/9/10 Horford 12 D12 20.5 Bench Lou 5.2 Bebe 1.38 Jenkins 1.25 Scott 788k Mack 794k Cunningham 1.2 Mike M. 450k Here is a plus: We still have the room exception and we can use it to resign Devin Harris. We can start him if Dennis not ready. Around 56-58 million dollars.

I never understood a fanbase love with being in the abyss so much. It's like we love the abyss. It's the worst place in Basketball. I was listening to 92.9, they were just taking shots at Atlanta and then talking about they will probably sign a B tier FA or do a SnT for someone like an Aisk. Talking about that's just what Atlanta does. They aren't trying to win titles. I agree about that with the fanbase.

That means no Aisk who put us in the middle. No Jefferson. Just build a team from scratch if you can't sign D12.

You guys love Deke so much now you see how much he looves you.

What are you talking about, Korver can sign elsewhere if we don't sign D12. Teague can sign elsewhere regardless.

Your showing personal bias man. This post don't even make a lot of sense. A black hole is a total negative like Al Jefferson. D12 has never been a black hole. He either gets the defense in foul trouble, causes mismatches, and gives shooters open looks more times than not.

Shaq is one of the best offensive centers in NBA history. D12 isn't. You said D12 was raw offensively? We say Bebe is raw offensively? So is Bebe going to give us 27ppg and 15.5rpg v. Collins anytime soon?

We can't SnT for someone who also is a FA.

His teammates were missing open jumpers and we played Orlando smart. We played tight defense on all of their shooters with Marvin, Joe, and Hinrich and forced Orlando to force their offense. This is such as strawman Hots. You said he was limited but you are moving the goalpost. He avg 27 and 15.5 v. Collins. How was he offensively limited. When I think of offensively limited, I think of Aisk, Tony Allen, Deke, not D12 at all.

He scored like 27ppg and had 15.5rpg v. Collins. If that's offensively limited what the heck is Deke then?

Deke was skinny, wasn't much in terms of post defense, couldn't defend the PnR, wasn't quick, and looked awkward a lot. Deke is Deke. He would be a good center in ANY class but he is far from D12. D12 isn't raw on offense. His efficiency is one of the best in NBA history. His advanced stats are generally in the list of some of the best NBA players ever. D12 has his issues but he is a superior player to what you are comparing him to.

I watched him in all his games at Orlando. He was one of the smartest players in the NBA. That didn't change with a move to LA. Most of your complains don't have nothing to do with BBIQ. 1. Court vision and feel for the game which we all know he lacks on offense. 2. See 1. 3. Dwight gives you a lot more than Deke. Sometimes I feel we greatly overrate Deke on here. If he was as good as you guys overrate him to be. He would have carried us but he never did once.

Agreed, I think he can be a better player than Jet but both aren't starting PG's. Teague will be a top 50 player for one or two years in my opinion.

Teague is an average PG. I don't think he's this good up and coming PG like you. I think he's average who is an undersized SG who has no business starting at PG in the NBA. You are damn right I want Korver. Lights out shooter, High BBIQ, doesn't miss defensive rotations. Worth around 2-3 million. You damn right I want him. I never been all over the place. I say the same damn thing 95% of the time.

No he doesn't. Not even close. He is a good defensive player but elite defensive impact???

D12 is very smart on the court. Especially defensively.

D12 and Rondo have some of the best BBIQ for their positions. As for Smoove.... It would be the worst shooting core evar!

I hope not. We can offer more money and we are still working on D12.

I wouldn't care if we missed on Howard but we still have a shot at D12. I want us to keep some of the guys like Korver. It seems like everyone is posting things on twitter about us getting raided.

He wouldn't. It was a bad rumor. I would be okay with trading Horf for Rondo if it can get us Smoove and D12.
