Well Reef will get the chance to prove everyone(including myself) wrong about producing on a playoff team. Naturally I expect his numbers will drop to about 18PPG 8RPG..But lets see how he plays in Portland. It will be interesting to see what JT/Person/Jackson/Sheed/Nazr can do..... I suspect Boris will get backup minutes at PG/SG/SF so he should still get plenty of playing time.

Boris Diaw is a role player. He's not "untradeable" at all because he isn't that good at all. Good defense? He couldnt even defend Van Horn. He's a good rebounder and a decent passer, but that doesn't make a player "untradeable" He doesn't have the skills offensive....He doesn't have any moves, he's not extremely quick, he has no postup game, no jumpshot. He'll be a 8PPG 5RPG 3APG role player that you don't mind having around. But he's not even close to being untradeable.

1)Hawks give more than they get 2)Sheed=Ghetto thug just like Rider 3)Hawks still have no future just like they didn't when they made that Rider trade Just like 1999. And you don't know what Billy Knights real adjenda is. Maybe he thinks this team will do better than when Theo/Reef was here. What did Billy Knight say? He says that he could do without the picks because he figures the cap space can get the young players....That doesn't sound like a Gm that expects to lose and get a better pick does it? Perhaps he thinks the team can make abit of run and be more attractive to FA's in the offseason.

IF(and it's a big IF) Sheed can produce 19PPG 9RPG we might be better than we would have been if we kept the same team. The way I figure it is that Person should get about 29MPG and he'll probably shoot about 45%fg 41%3pt and average about 11PPG....His outside shooting is something the team hasn't had in a long time. Nazr playing 29MPG also is about a 11PPG 9RPG.....Statwise the two of them together actually could outproduce Reef/Theo since Theo doesn't produce much other than blocked shots. This could be a better shooting team than the team has had in a while.

Where do you guys get Sheed is worth 10 million? He's worth 5 maybe...17PPG 6RPG is not 10million production. Hell, Cliff Robinson probably averages close to that with Golden State.

The only way the team has a shot at the title is if Shaq/Duncan/KG are on the roster. Tmac/Kobe are good players, but they will NOT win you a title.

The Bobcats will be a good team before the Hawks will. I highly doubt their mangement will make moves so boneheaded. Next year the hawks will have: JT Q Richardson Boris Howard or Hendu Nazr What a team!=)

Doc and Kobe would have about the same sucess as Doc and McGrady...Not very much most likely.

Sheed has never averaged more than 8RPG in a season in his career and there is no reason to believe he'll do it now. Sheed can shoot? That's not what his 34% three point shooting says. And his fg% has quickly declined. He isn't even that good of a player.

If a lousy 16/6 is a 6'11 PF's prime then I say YIKES!

Sheed is on the decline...He shouldn't have much value anymore. In fact, he's no better than Van Horn NOW. The 2000 Sheed was good...but that was 4 years ago. I think we can get a lottery pick out of him because I think GM's probably think he's better than he is....Maybe Boston will make a deal in the offseason....

True. Then we have to hope the team can get a pick for Sheed in the draft or something. But chances out the hawks get out of this deal....NOTHING. This is sorta like the JR Rider thing...

The only problem I see with Randolph is maybe him becoming another Vin Baker because he does struggle with weight problems. I agree....Reef is NOT a SF...Maybe they play on starting Zack at center? Who knows? They make some aweful strange moves.

Well Chillz the only reason I feel Billy done a stupid thing is because he got no picks or young players to build around. There should have been a first rounder added. Portland didn't really lose anything because they offered Sheed a long term contract and he didn't take it so they wanted to ship him off. http://www.nba.com/playerfile/rasheed_wall...x.html?nav=page Sheed may have a few decent years left...But his numbers are falling every year and his impact on games comes less and less.

He's in for a shock when he finds out the only ones interested in signing around a James Posey or someone of that nature. Billy just don't know.....Hasn't been here throughout the years.

Hawks are gunna crash. Franchise is DONE.

Atlanta is a good climate? You mean all that terrible humidity? Anybody that really believes the Hawks really have a chance at Kobe or a star player is a moron.

I' waiting for the team to move. It would do everyone a big favor. Hawks=NO Future. Hoping to get some silly teenager(howard) from the draft. Yeah, some kid alone will save the franchise. lol

In other words...The Hawks franchise is cheap. It wouldn't even sign a player to a 10 day contract and only dressed 9 players....That alone shows how cheap the franchise is.

Sheed is a mediocre player now. How old is he anyway? 31? That's too old. Who would sign him to 10 million a year? His numbers have slipped to about 15PPG 6RPG...Those aren't 10 million a year numbers? I'd let him walk at the end of the year...That's fine....But no draft picks or nothing to help build around...Kobe wouldn't sign with this pile of shyt franchise no matter if Sheed is here or not. He sure wouldn't leave a storied franchise like the Lakers for Phillips arena *aka the dump) Bottomline. you need a top draft pick in this deal.

New owners making the team a winner? Yeah, they are really off to a great start. Nothing but punks. They failed to get any picks to help for the future.

Sheed will be gone at the end of the year... But the problem is the Hawks have NOTHING to build around. Their hottest prospect is a 3PPG 3RPG 2APG swingman that can't shoot....No draft picks....No PG...NO PF...NO Bench.

Ghetto street thug. The city is sure to fall in love with him. lol Seriousally, with no picks or anything this is a terrible deal. You figure they where atleast worth SOMETHING.

Remember, I told you about Pete Babcock...Remember, Knight is a Pete Babcock stooge. So much for the new owners. lol What a joke.

They are in the playoffs every year. Nobody gives the Hawks/Clippers another look. There are is a difference. If you are the 4th seed you are fighting for something. This team doesn't fight for anything. The games the Hawks play 90% of a snooze feast...Sleepwalking games. Just like that last Portland game...Hawks lead a un- intense game....Portland does enough to hang around and takes the game in the 3rd or 4th period. Jim O'Brien just jumped off a sinking ship.
