Based on our history to pull star free agents. I am never excited for FA. I plan to watch until one day I am surprised and we actually get real talent that could potentially one day get us a ring. Since this has never actually happened. I plan to be surprised when it does so I dont get disappointed anymore.

You say that until you have Jerry Jones as your owner. We Cowboys fans are so tired of him.

Someone said it was basically like a "Jelly donut". Dear God. I know personally you are never the same with spinal damage. I've already had one spinal surgery, and several injections. Need more surgery and more injections now. It sucks.

This I can buy. His handle and turnovers are just atrocious. Maybe some of that is the fact he was basically alone, but not crazy in him.

No. I see him much more civic. Much, much more.

I dunno it's kind of like saying would you rather have a Bentley or a Civic.

Trae is a poor man's, no wait a homeless man's Curry.

I'd throw everything I own around, twice.

Just heard a rumor coming out, we pick Doncic, Dallas takes Young. We trade Doncic and Baze for Young. If that happens I may throw my computer against the wall.

The question with her is does a team think as a first time coach should go to a franchise that is winning more? Or maybe her first gig should be somewhere giving her a chance to show she actually can coach and build some experience. I don't know the answer there, but she has proven in the summer league to be have viable consideration in some manner.

There are your top 2 then. But I know Larranaga has another visit with Charlotte coming up.

I think they like Piece for his rebuild job he did in Philly. Not to mention he is apparently close to LeBron and was a part of the Warriors for a bit.

The leader Right now is Pierce apparently. He is the only one with an interview with Ressler locked up. Cunningham is the bottom of the 4 on the short list apparently.

He is. But, even if by some miracle you make it past him, the Warriors were sitting there also loaded with superstar talent. I'm fine with them being bad, it isn't like we had more than a month of coverage even as a 1 seed. Heck we were the 1 seed and we didn't talked about in the playoffs, it was already a forgone conclusion we weren't making it to the ECF much less a champ game. I just want this team to be considered to have a shot. Until that happens makong the playoffs or not is a moot point.

Maybe I'm jaded but as much as I wished we would have won, we realistically didn't have a chance to win that series, even at full health. The playoffs are so much different than the regular season. Maybe we wouldn't have gotten swept, but I didn't see us winning that series. We didn't have the firepower or a guy that could take over down the stretch. I've say through a lot of lean years with this team. I'm to this point where if we don't have a realistic shot at a ring, I'll just watch from the outside, until we do. It's the way the NBA is now. While I like basketball, if my team isn't in the finals I don't watch. I haven't watched a finals in a long time. So we miss the playoffs, okay. Seriously it isn't a big deal to me. I'm good with whatever at this point. I just want to see a ring before I die.

For this let's say a player who finishes top 10 in the MVP race. And if you want to refine it from there, a player who can do it more than once.

Again, name the last team to win a championship without a superstar. Winning a series then getting swept isn't winning anything. You are so resistant to superstars. I don't get it.

Let's just hire Becky Hammon. I'd be down for that.

Not his point. You know it. No superstar, the Raptors, regardless of how well they play team ball, can't stop a superstar. It may not be what you want, but truth is superstars are a must to win a ring.

Really? When was the last championship team without a superstar on it? I'll wait...

That's the thing. I agree. But some would rather have just kept going with retooling with middle tier players who played solid team basketball and make the playoffs. Problem is, that doesn't work at the NBA level. Once the playoffs start, if you don't have that one game changer, you have zero chance of making it to a finals.

So you were fine with just making the playoffs only to know we never had a real shot at a title and would get embarrassed every season? I'm not saying tanking will get us said superstar, I'm just saying if you are going to be a losing team, might as well get something out if it. All We got before was to say we made the playoffs then lose key role players that got us there. Eh, maybe one day we will be a real team that has a real shot at being a championship team, or at least a team fans outside of Hawks fans actually want to see.

I've been suffering watching us epically fail in the playoffs. So maybe I'll suffer trying to actually get a superstar. Either way I suffer. At least this way I will not have to waste time watching the playoffs knowing we were fodder for real teams. You say we were competitive. If we were competitive we wouldn't have gotten swept as a number 1 seed.

I'll caveat that. The Hawks haven't won anything since they have been an Atlanta.

What exactly have we won?
