Whatever just makes sense from what teams are leaking out - I understand the logic here with trades and why and why not. I dont see another way to get a scorer on the wing without doing something like this though - Ill gladly trade a PG for one but who can we get really with who needs a PG

its called basketball - will never have the parity that we have in sports played on much bigger fields with many more players -

Just to be clear, the Horford idea was mine, I just saw that the lakers would explore trades out of 2.

Just reading around - said Lakers will look to move out of this spot to get a star player, Horford isnt super star but fits for what they want, they need front court help and leadership etc. they want an established player. plus Horford will make so much money in LA

Lakers looking to trade out of 2 spot, we can send them Horford, SnT for that, get INgram - SF solved, send Teague to Sixers for a center, easy peasy.

where did this best defense go - this is way more frustrating than anything braves or falcons have done, WAAAAY moroe and theres nothing you can even do about it, is what I keep hearing

that was pure luck man - how often do players like this come out and actually do anything, most never never ever get close. its once every 5 years or so a player comes out like this, GS got very lucky, yea they developed guys - but there not the only team that can do that, there are tons of great coaches in the NBA

damn ur a bitch. You single out the hawks, ALL OF YOU IN THIS THREAD doing that. PLease fking stop. This is the state of basketball. Teams cant get rid of shitty players or mediocre players and bring new talent in because its either just a few at the top of the draft or you have to have some other reason to bring in FA. This bullshit product is controlled by the players - I had no idea it was this bad - WHY ARE U GUYS HERE watching this when you know damn well what is going on. This isnt, hockey, baseball, or football not even close - there is no parity - its players little league of get rich and play games, most of it is not thier fault basketball only uses 5 players at once, it is what it is, I just cant believe the juggernaut of money and media it drags along with it when the same things happen every year why do you think nobody bets on basketball ?? because you cant make money doing it because they adjusted the odds because its much easier to predict. I dont really know how to get out of this, especially if your the hawks - we discuss every day KD, or wing players keep Al let AL go etc........... and the result always ends up being the same, a middle of the road team that we cant get out of.

really - u made all this effort for this, peasant

Horrford didnt do shit, and then reports before the game that he was injured and was gonna be ok to go ?

and if KD joins GS, the nba is going to be a even bigger joke, seriously w.t.f. Thats probably the best iso guy potentially in the league and the best shooter ever not to mention these other all stars, thats not competition, which should drive this product, and it no longer will, ppl might watch some more in the finals to see them destroy ppl, but overall ticket sales will drop around the league when so many other teams have no chance

Him and Rus are tight, i think he really wants to stay but i just dont see them getting past the spurs , i think they can beat GS i dont see currys ankle holding up or them keeping this up

i have no idea and niether does the team on how theyll get a starting SF this offseason, there just not there, and if they are apparently nobody wants to come here

but CLE can sign whoever they want bird rights bullshit - cmon - again what is the point, we either have to get a almost elite player at every position or a superstar to build around, the league should have enough players to do this but I guess it doesnt, which creates this issue, - hard to keep following closely considering all of these issues, KD in ATL would be sick, and the right thing for the league as a whole, splitting up this western conf bullslhit and creating more better teams, OKC will still have Russ and could build a bench then which theyll need to beat Spurs or whomever.

cryptic - explain to me what I am missing, cuz from what you are saying I cant understand why we are all coming to this forum - other than to be reminded that its just the way it is, ?? hawks need to worry about sf position, hawks wont get anyone to play the sf position.

lol - so then whats the point guys, Batum is the only guy that might make a diff here, and we cant even get him?!?!? no wonder ppl dont care about the NBA its f***ing horrible, the nba needs to block these teams like CLE and MIA when he was there, seriously why are we getting so invested, supes, ur saying we blow it up ok for WHO

wow all outlets already have it setup as heat cle for finals and the renewed kevin love making his comeback to give CLE a chance to beat GS... fuciking christ, what is the point, no wonder this sport lost so much market share, atleast in baseball you can tank and rebuild and because the amount of available players, cant do that in the nba, the players run everything thing, the superstars do at least. there just is no competition here, there just isnt,

havent the royals been copying wha the braves did many years ago - thier model, - I keep reading that

christ why so long 3 days between games, fkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

This one isnt georgia sports related, we can use logic to see what happens to Braves Falcons etc. Falcons have always had major holes on the team ever since we drafted Ryan and kept thinking every year we were just one piece away and quite building the trenches. ANYWAY what happened last night is in-explainable if it is a legit loss, please tell me what Bud said post game, Korver is Korver had nothing to do with him, I cant see how we could lose this game if we were trying, if we were it makes no sense at all - at all - if the team has been figuired out and our elite defense is now nullified well then NBA basketball is a joke and there is no parity at all in the league and no reason for us to really support this product because it is fundamentally flawed. One coach is not going to overcome that - if we went on our win streak because of some tweaks that were easily learned then destroyed well then what is the point >!>!>?? The league needs to not only implement the franchise tage system but nobody can have more than one "elite" player not sure how u do that but do something, if not then its just basketball and is only 5 guys on the court so onlyu so much you can do - I get that, but no legit business owner is going to keep a team and put lots of resources into it if they never will have a chance at winning in the post season.

cant beat wiz B team

everyone of these teams games matter and itll all be done in the next few days no point in hyper analyzing all this, I beleive Baze tweaked his knee again, and was nothing in second half, and the cavs were hitting everything they normally miss, not sure how hard we were playing either - it was a strange game, because what usually beats us wasnt a problem. I just hope second round exit doesnt happen and we can show we are just a player away, and somehow we can get that player in the offseason.

we are not beating good teams, really itll be a second round exit if were lucky, and just pray we get a player that can get us to the finals - Horford is getting his which is funny since hes half the player millsap is but whatev its the biz these days. Bud just admitted in post game, welllllll u know credit to Cle we cant really stop them, but we didnt play bad def, i mean wtf are u talking about dude

Bud said it a billion times, we didnt play hard enough aggressive enough etc in first half, we battled though and so did they that was hard fought game, i was very pissed, but fukem I want Cavs in the second round and just beat them to death and then they can deal with Mia in the finals and Hassan can shit on THompson and bron

Charlotte whooping ass
