but when i suggested we make a trade for plumlee ( another big), people kept saying we need another wing defender. folks, teams are gonna slow us down and attack our interior in the playoffs, just like boston did tonight. we need help on the boards and at the rim big time...........

i rest my case about needing help in the paint..............

we need somebody NOW who can get after it in the playoffs in the paint to help horford. ive watched most of the hawks games this season, and i see where they gonna attack us in the playoffs: the INTERIOR of our defense. right now, we doing a good job most games of collapsing in the paint as a team and keeping folks out. i dont wanna chance it in the playoffs that teams are able to spread us and attack horford and millsap and get them in foul trouble and rely on Antić or moose........

that right there...........

im a tired of seeing Antić hoist up bricks and miss wide open easy one on nothing layups fan.........

excellent article.

we did steal that pick. that was a dumb move on brooklyn giving up all those picks AND taking over that joe johnson contract. their record proves it. now, as far as the amount it would take to get plumlee, i know thats a lot, but i place more value on what we know a player can do, vs the what ifs of a draft. Antić and just the first pick SHOULD be enough to get plumlee. the second round choice added to it is pushing it, i agree.

Ok. let me get this out of the way. I dont care if Antić has some intangibles like setting screens, blah, blah. Im tired of him missing 3 pointers and WORST, missing layups. We need a big that can SCORE and is more aggressive in the paint on defense. I dont it will not happen, but i would love to see the hawks trade BACK the picks they stole in the joe johnson trade, the first and second they got coming, plus Antić, for plumlee. I saw enough of plumlee over the last two years to see that he is the aggressive type big the hawks could pair with horford in certain situations and millsap in others. what you guys think??
