Lol, nah, I don't think anyone is buying that.  THJr has some value, probably more to the Hawks than in a trade. Now as part of package deal in return of players of substances, maybe.  But not for 2nd round picks lol.

I also have to say...a white guy with a black wife and three  mixed kids and you have "fans" accusing him of being racist? I mean...are you f$%^ing kidding me here? Wow.

It's the world we live in. People get off on looking for reasons to be offended

Yeah but Mark will tell you himself that he is the greatest coach out there.

I have a great sense of humor and even I'm offended by this. No one should ever joke about hiring Mark Jackson.

Quality work :)

Appears every two or three months with this same kinda stuff. You know the "just you wait you'll see its about to happen and only I have knowledge of it". 

That's just Supes.  Since his first appearance on the Squawk he's fancied himself as some kind of basketball savant, an 'NBA Scout' in his own mind. To the rest of us, he's just the brightest kid in his special ed class. Which is good....but, ya know :)

Yes bigger than Dennis and plays different. Delaney is a more controlled and scores points when given type of guy. He isn't gonna show up on the box score with ridiculous stats but he does the little things pretty well. His mid range honestly is amongst the best in the league and once he expands a little bit (because you know with a shot like his he's bound to heat up eventually) the 3pt ball will come with time. Backup pg isn't an issue to me at least for the time being 

Just wondering why you think his midrange is so good? Maybe you watched a game early on when he was hitting his pull up jumpers from 18 ft. But those have dried up. He's shooting 44% from inside the arc (8-46 from deep). 

He can't make an entry pass to save his life and lacks the quickness to create. And I assure you, 44% is not "best in the league" type of production. 

The youngsters won't get the Weird Science reference :)

Baze has kind of become the  bizzaro Josh Smith. Kent needs to spot up in the corners for open 3s and limit his dribbling.  Instead, as soon as he came in last night he put the ball on the floor for a running jumper and then a turnover as he again was punished for his lack of a handle.  When things are going bad (in any sport) it's important to simplify and focus on efficiency. He's as wild as ever, like he's trying to prove something. Self awareness....maybe another deficiency he shares with Jsmoove.

But man, it would really be nice to have a wing who could hit an outside shot! Thabo's shot has been broken lately. He is likely the best option, considering.

The Hawks were a fun team to watch then. Does anyone remember John Sterling the Hawks announcer calling him" Dominique Monufique"?

Dominique is magnifique!

It's been pretty obvious to me when Baze tries (frequently) to be more than just a 3&D player, he hurts the team. Turns the ball over, takes wild shots near traffic, and can make some head scratching pass attempts. This goes back to the JSmoove days...not as bad, mind you....of playing to your weaknesses instead of doing what you do best.

And even then Sap hasn't been that effective this year.   Dennis has 4 guys right now who can't make a shot unless they are WIDE open, and can't dribble without turning the ball over.   We're expecting a lot for him to turn that into a functional offense by himself.   It can work.  In fact we've seen it work.  We've just fallen into bad habits and guys trying to do things they aren't capable of doing.  

 

As in Baze driving wildly into traffic and flipping shots in the general direction of the basket.

Looked like D8 was extremely upset with Dennis on that 3 second call. He had position and Dennis didn't recognize him until too late.

Depends on Korver, Baze, and THJ. That's what many are missing. Without more additions, our success will be tied to how well these guys shoot from the arc.

I'm guessing the holdup would be trying to utilize Horford's Bird Rights to it's fullest extent. Sign Howard or whoever our targets are and THEN sign Horford since we can exceed the cap to bring him back.

I don't mind giving Horford the full max if it takes that to bring him back. In the end, he's an asset and can be flipped down the road if we go in a different direction.

First the Hawks and now the Raptors have picked their poison in regards to their defensive strategy against the Cavs. The Cavs are proving either poison is deadly.

It was  an awkward interview.  Barkley put on him on the spot by asking him " why do you think it is that people don't like you?"   And then they proceeded to tell him that he struggled in Houston because Harden was the the worst kind of player for a big man to play with because he dominates the ball and stagnates ball movement.  They also tried to give him advice on being himself on the court and not paying attention to the talking heads.

Thinking out loud here:  So, what does Horford provide on the court that Humphries couldn't give you at a significantly reduced price? Given the same minutes, would Horford produce much more going forward?? He's a power forward but we could still upgrade at the center position in other ways. 

It's also possible that Teague's injuries are more serious than we know and Bud's decision to sit him late had more to do with that than passing the torch to Dennis.

BTW.....Korver shooting over 52% from 3 point land for the month of March.
