  1. I don't see why they brought him. Cody is the perfect center for Charlotte's system.
  2. I think Plumlee will be fine. He can do the things expected from Dwight last season better.
  3. Heat are definitely a playoff team. A darkhorse in the East. They had the same exact record as the Bulls and now they're healthy and deeper than last season's team. Pistons got no excuse not to miss the playoffs. Hornets should make make the playoffs. They weren't that far behind Miami and Detroit last season. I'd take Orlando (right now), NY (right now), Chicago (right now), Detroit, Indiana and Brooklyn over ATL. The loss of Millsap is going to really hurt ATL.
  4. Wade will get bought out. LaVine and Valentine got to play.
  5. I can imagine Dennis would get moved. He'll probably be the Hawks' biggest asset. Schlenk said he is looking for another Curry, Klay and Draymond. Dennis doesn't really fit the Curry mold. I wonder would Bud try to use Marco in the starting lineup like he did Korver or will he start Baze at SG to try to showcase him. I trust Schlenk's picks. It'd be neat if they pull off what SAC did, getting 3 guys in the first. I don't expect ATL to make a high level free agent signing within the next 2 years. I expect growth from Dennis, Delaney, Bembry, Prince an Collins. I expect vets to play a lot up to the trade deadline. Then, see guys like Ersan, Marco get bought out and maybe Baze/Dennis moved. I think with the current players on the roster now, the system will run smoother.
  6. He'll need some talent around him. He doesn't look like a guy who can carry a team on his back like LeBron.
  7. If CHA have him come off the bench he'll be straight. I can't see Dwight finishing his contract in CHA. I can see him being a buyout candidate in 2018-19.
  8. I thought Bud was going to adapt to Dwight based on his interviews last summer. However, Dwight hired that shooting coach and he never put into action the stuff he worked on.
  9. I don't expect him to play much at all. Hawks got Ersan, Babbitt, Muscula who all got more experience than him. It wouldn't surprise me to see him in and out of D League.
  10. Hawks best bet is don't waste Hawks better off using their cap space to absorb bad contracts with picks. The cap isn't expected to rise much. A lot of teams will be in the tax looking to shred salary. CLE, GS, POR, OKC, MIA, WAS, HOU are all in the tax right now.
  11. I would think his best position is C. He could be like a Nerlens Noel type player there.
  12. Yeah he's an upgrade at the PF position. He'll probably be even better in DEN since he'll be in his natural position, 3rd option, behind Jokic and Murray.
  13. If only Ferry drafted better. Would have been nice to have a Rodney Hood to plug in for a declining Korver instead of trading away Payne. Or a Draymond Green instead of John Jenkins who could have replaced Millsap if he walked in 2015. Ferry seemed to have a good short term plan, long term - not so good.
  14. That's a fair deal. I think he'll get overpaid by somebody else like BK.
  15. Solid guy but I doubt it happens. Hawks usually secretive about FAs.
  16. Right! Great to see a guy in charge who can be unbiased. THJ to me is just a 6th man, not a franchise SG some Hawks fans are hoping he'll be. He's replaceable.
  17. I wouldn't mind Jonas. I could imagine Bud could help him out, get him to be consistently aggressive and a 3 point shot.
  18. It's too early to tell.
  19. There's so much talent in the NBA and people from all over who live in ATL, ATL basketball fans will come out to watch basketball. I'm not worried about it. Now if they were to really jack up ticket prices like GS prices then there would be a problem.
  20. Great point! Ball movement in that offense was underappreciated, especially coming from Pero and Korver. I loved when the bigs set screens too.
  21. 1. Yeah, if Millsap leaves, ATL will struggle. 2. It's too early to call Schlenk clueless. I'd atleast give him 3 years. 3. I doubt it. This roster isn't stacked with talent. It's going through transition from a veteran's team to a young team so expectations for Bud this season shouldn't be high. Now if Bud wanted to be like Doc when he left BOS for LAC because he didn't want to rebuild, then yeah, I could see Bud gone. I'm sure Bud has an understanding of the situation. This team isn't like the Teague/Korver/Millsap/Horford team he walked into. 4. We'll have to see how they do in FA. 5. I don't expect any big moves. Probably see some ex-GS guys like Ian Clark on the roster though.
  22. Hawks already had the advantage of talking to him during the season. Who knows? ATL may be the last team to meet with Millsap.
  23. Bud's system was dependent on shooters. When the shooting got bad, he got bad. Korver wasn't lighting up every night but you could always count on somebody having a big shooting night. He could. I think Bud will be around for a while unless him and Schlenk don't get along.
