Let the market decide. I expect him to be too expensive for ATL though, especially since DEN finally has a legit shot at him.

I wouldn't pay him. He's going to be too expensive for ATL. He's a 6th man IMO. You can find that in FA. Bud needs to develop Bembry.

Johnson won't be cheap. Gallinari wants the max. Simmons a RFA, it's going to cost money to get him out of SA's price range. Bulls want Mirotic back I believe. I think Dedmon wants a big payday after opting out from SA. Lee is out for a couple of months.

Any GM can say anything in a press conference. I got to see his actions. Right now, I see they got an injury prone center, Millsap is on his way out so I expect the win total to drop tremendously. I could see Schlenk getting pieces to run Bud's system better but I don't expect the Blake Griffin's, Gordon Hayward's, etc. in a Hawks uniform next season.

I get what you're saying but ATL needed a new visionary. I'm not going to act like Ferry was so great but one thing about him I like is he had one job, be the GM and use Bud to create his vision. ATL needed that again and Wilcox wasn't no Ferry. Schlenk coming from GS gives ATL a different set of eyes, a different philosophy, not a Bud/Ferry guy.

Dennis got no pull. I doubt Hardaway will be back. Teams like Philly got cap space and easily offer him the max and don't blink. Meanwhile, Schlenk wouldn't match it. I'm sure Schlenk could get an ex-Warrior like Rush to come to ATL as a stopgap replacement while Bembry continues to develop or Schlenk drafts his own guy at SG.

I think Dennis stays. SAC should get their guy Fox at #5. Millsap is definitely gone. Hardaway is definitely gone. Similar to the Millsap situation, other teams can give him offers that Schlenk will be unwilling to match.

Lakers want an additional lottery pick, not 19th pick.

Yeah, Pacers lose leverage each day. If Bud was still making final decisions I could see Hawks making a move for him but Schlenk doesn't seem like the type of guy who would make a move for George which is the best option IMO. Continue to develop Prince.

I'm just saying, Dennis is good but he isn't a superstar PG. You put a guy in the meantime like Rubio he'd have nice numbers. Bud's system is great for PGs. Hawks need legit assets.

They got to resign Teague and Miles who will get raises. Hawks won't go to the Finals with George. Need more than that to beat CLE.

I like Schlenk already.

Green fell off. He can't create his own shot. I wouldn't want anybody from SA but Kawhi which isn't going to happen.

ATL isn't going to get cap relief for Baze. Best case, they just going to have to flip him for another bad contract/s of players that could better fit ATL.

True. I think there's teams out there that are bold that can offer better packages. I'm sure a team like Indy would rather not add bad contracts with picks that won't have a chance to be #1.

I would. You can replace a PG easily.

They wouldn't want Baze. They'd want Prince if anything.

Millsap is opting out.

I miss him on the Hawks after seeing Dwight play this year. I didn't appreciate him while he was with the Hawks.

True. I'm curious to see what Schlenk's player filter will be. Bud had the luxury of having Teague and Dennis for years. Maybe Schlenk could invest for than what Bud did as GM (Hinrich/Calderon).

It doesn't make sense for Jazz to take on Baze's contract. They're limited with cap space. Already paying Gobert 20+ mil a year, they got to resign Ingles. Next summer Jazz could have some cap space with Favors (bad contract) and Joe coming off the books. It doesn't make sense for them to compromise their cap space for an average player (Baze), when they can just move forward with a youth movement since a Jazz team with Baze isn't going to win a championship.

They need to give Delaney a chance. A year in the system, he should be better. I'm sure Bud would love Mack back. I highly doubt Livingston would love. Mills will be too expensive. Collison has no ties to ATL. Utah isn't going to take on Baze's contract. They're cap space is limited. Joe's deal is a good deal. Baze is bad.

What was the Hawks' identity during the Nique era?

Manu got a big offer from Philly last summer. I'm sure however Korver will get an interest from SA, BOS, CLE, GS and pick one of them for a lot less though.

Yeah rebuild makes the most sense.
