Where was the lotto pick coming from? Portland? They have a good shot at making the playoffs this year. Detroit? Sorry, they are guaranteed a playoffs spot. Dallas" If you are going to trade your two best players you need lottery picks or young talent in return. As I said, Woods would be better than NOTHING. Yeah, that would be horrible. Drafting a possible All-American (as a freshman) with our first pick. That would be horrible. lol " WOW all american! he's a lock to be a NBA great isn't he? As if being an all american means shyt in the nBA.

However, Atlanta is a much friendlier city than Utah!" Damn! Is that what that high crime rate in Atlanta is from?? Anyway, we'll see when the Hawks draft Kwame Brown this year and have the same problems the Bulls have with the likes of Eddy Curry and Jamal Crawford.

This isn't about keeping Reef/Theo/Dickau. This is about getting a lotto pick out of all these trades. EVEN if we wouldn't want to draft a guy we could use a lotto pick in a trade. All this "cap space" has NO MEANING. It might to a legit franchise with a SMART GM. Oh yeah, Knights so smart and that's why he got fired before. I'll be laughing and it will be damn funny if the team comes away with the 5th pick and end up with Loel Deng or whatever his name is. That will teach Billy Knight to do stupid stuff like this.

Most people get college degrees to get a job. I would already have a job." He treats basketball as a job" That's not a good thing. Treating basketball like a job is NOT a positive thing. "That could be important, some scouts say, because right now he's more a finesse player than a true banger. At 225 pounds, he could use some additional muscle, and has concentrated lately on weightlifting." That's not such a good thing either. "

Hell yeah it's about win now. That's why the Lakers matter and the Hawks/Bulls don't matter. Dwight Howard! What a great future!

I agree. If this Dwight Howard is so good where is his hype at? All of a sudden everyone wants him because he's from Atlanta. The stupidest thing is to be ga ga over someone because they are from the arena. Even though Reef was no star....You'd think they could get some young talent for him. Hell, Q.Woods is better than nothing. The league needs to make a rule that if a team drops so much cap space just to get the top pick they should end up getting the 5th pick in the draft.

When I look on Denvers roster I don't see even a top 20 player....They will not accomplish much. Look at the Bulls/Jazz and other teams...They are more of them that have done the cap dump and see what it has got them so far....Funny how you want to point to Denver when more teams with the cap space have failed. Lots of cap space is just a line of bullshyt.

With Murray in the deal also? Naw of course Billy wouldn't do a deal where the Hawks don't actually get screwed. How does Billy even have a job?

I like the moves. What did denver have a year or two ago when they traded McDyess away? nothing but cap space and youth. look at them now." 1)Your trying to take the exception and make it the rule. 2)Denver is just an average team. Better than last year, but they are hardly THAT good. 3)They still don't have the talent to contend for a title.

I'd rather keep Wallace and let him leave than take on all those stiffs. Is there really a point in doing this? It just doesn't make sense.

There is... Duncan Shaq Kobe Tmac Pierce And with the exception of some others...Who cares that much about the other guys? I mean, you'll never win crap chasing after players like Prince and Q"39%fg" Richardson.

Joel couldn't hit water if he felt out of a boat. The team seemed to have tried. But there just isn't enough talent to win.

It's clear the new owners are nimrods for allowing Knight to do the things he's done. What exacutally has Billy Knight done? What has he built? NOTHING.

Prince isn't even that good. Any two bit bum can average a lousy 10PPG.

AI is going to decline within 2 years. Blah blah blah he brings attendence for two years. What good does it do long term?

The Hawks after all this will end up with 6th man Q Richardson. The reason I think signing Richardson is a bad idea beause he only shoots 40.2% and that's just terrible. I doubt Detroit will give up Darko.

I heard that he was crushed by the trade.....how many times has this guy been traded in 2 years???? His agent, David Falk, apparently indicated that he was contemplating retirement instead of reporting to Milwaukee. This info came from Pete Vecsey so believe what you want but for him to skip 2 games kind of backs up this info." I got this from another board...Notice who said it...But honestly it wouldn't surprise me considering how many times he's been traded. He's probably tired of it. I've been hard on the guy for a couple of years, but he really isn't a terrible player.

What was his stats after his was traded? After he was traded he was just some scorer everyone forgot about. Hakeem was better than Nique back then. There isn't anyway the hawks were going to win the title over the Rockets. And as good as niques numbers where...They weren't as good as Hakeems.. 27PPG 12RPG 53%fg 3.6APG Not to mention blocks and defense. Stat wise the Hawks and Rockets where about the same.. They both averaged 101PPG and gave up 96PPG..Both averaged 25APG. But in the end, Hakeem at center beats Nique at SF.

A old Nique couldn't have lead the Hawks in the finals over a prime C Hakeem. Beating a team in the regular season means very little. What do you mean stop Nique? he was breaking down.

The team needs to get a hellva lot more than the next Doug Christie in Prince.

They were the only team in the league that season that handled the Houston Rockets. " Who would guard Hakeem in the finals? Willis? as if he'd stand a chance.

I'd rather have Harrington..>Bender is a project that failed.

I'm not Reef's biggest fan...but what makes Ruben think Reef should be backing him up. as if Patterson is any good.

It appears something is wrong her what she wore. Anybody hear anything about it? I swear, this country is getting more and more pro gay by the day. I didn't even see anything that was showed.

It allows teams with deep pockets to take advantage of financially strapped teams with poor decision makers." It's not George's fault that the A's and other teams are too cheap to keep their players. I hate small market franchises like the A's and Panthers. Besides, nobody cares about these small market franchises anyway.
