Jodie Meeks is the only one I'd take out of the past few teams FA list.... on a trading note tho if the Magic are still dangling Vucevic I wouldn't be opposed to sending Dwight and a pick their way for him....

Well since it's been updated I'd take Shabazz-nice energy player to have as a 7th man Rush-nice vet to add like a James Jones Yes to all of OKC's FAs aside from collison- I've always liked their pieces Ron baker-he's like a better younger version of Korver Derrick Rose-Feel like he'd be a nice addition as long as it's for the right price and he accepts his backup role.

Tony Snell is a hell yeah from me And since I've mentioned trades once I wouldn't mind dangling our extra pick this year for Richardson From The Heat

I'd actually take Swaggy P and Green

Like I said even if we go younger it doesn't mean we'll look like those teams you listed... this team could easily be like Miami,Milwaukee,or OKC. Especially with coach Bud COACHING the talent we have.

Of the ones listed recently sign me up for.... Mo Buckets Ian Clark KCP Gallinari

On a side note of the 6 teams discussed we should note that if trades are possible I would LOVE Jeremy Lin here as a long term backup for Dennis.

We could honestly do that if we throw in some 2nds.

I'd take Yogi.... but my only issue is he is a perimeter player, and he doesn't have a big enough name in the league to get the calls like IT does... so practically what we'd have is a jump shooting PG to backup DS17.... granted when he is hitting he's efficient as anybody, but can he continue to be as good as he was throughout an 82+ game season?

Joffrey,Morrow,Mirotic are the only ones I'd even touch....

I'm not saying don't sign FA's but for the best interest of the hawks we need to build around DENNIS. No more over the hill guys who're 30+ just to keep us around the 40 win total. We need to get younger and more athletic. Like the Bucks (good drafting example),Blazers,and Thunder. Because quite simply and like you said we can't draw FAs in like Boston,Miami,etc. so drafting good is the only way we will contend for a title.

What if... maybe... just maybe.... we forget about resigning over the hill players and build around the guys we drafted? Crazy idea huh.... it's not like we had 2 guys (1 being a rookie) that showed out in the postseason in every single game.... Whose with me? Let's build this biatch around DS17 and Prince!!!! Forget THJ and Sap.... Build around the guys who showed out when it mattered most and who can help us in the future. Make them the forefront not an after thought

Why yes of course I'm glad someone picked up on my pun....

No props for Sova? Cmon now he was BATTLING in the paint last night when Dwight was off the floor. Sure he didn't have the best of games on the stat sheet but the number of times he tipped a ball up and kept it alive for a run out fast break or offensive chance was awesome. Props to the unsung hero Ilyasova

I honestly think Dwight doesn't have a roll in the starting lineup aside from cleanup the glass and defend simply because we have 3 ball dominant players on the court when he's in the game also. It doesn't make sense to force into the post when Sap,THJ,and DS17 can all score consistently and it flows well.

Shhhhhhhhhhh let's not talk about Super Bowl 51.... ever again

Let me dream damnit.

After watching that game I'm convinced if we just ran 1/4 pick and rolls or Millsap post ups the entire game, Millsap by himself could score us 85....

I don't know about anything to do with his back, but yesterday during game 3 Dwight took a spill that was really overlooked. It looked like it hurt man. He was mixing it up with Morris and he went up for a tip out rebound to Baze an he fell face first on the floor an didnt catch himself. Look like it knocked him up pretty good. He didn't play much after that so maybe some stiffness in his back is what's getting to him.

Here is what I've noticed.... 1.Schröder has came to play. This is why we paid him because he's shown up both games and went toe to toe with Wall. (HE DUNKED ALL OVER GORTAT) 2.Howard hasn't shined but I can't tell if that's his lack of effort or his lack of opportunity. 3.Coach Bud is ludicrous at the moment with his rotations... Moose and Dunleavy over Thabo and Humph? Say what 4.Bazemore needs to pack his stuff up and leave 5.THJ can walk along with Sap.... build this roster AROUND the guy you paid to be "the guy" don't get caught up in the playoff streak build for the future!

TBH I'd rather have the kid from WISC....

Ok pause.... Detroit last year was better than Chicago this year. Miami was better than Toronto this year and the Pacers should equal each other out considering they're the same team just different pieces

Even if we do lose an go down 0-2 in the series at least we're not trailing 0-2 to an 8 seed after having 2 homecourt games. How's that boston crowd treating yah now Alice?

If this team makes it to the finals I would not be surprised... whatever the exact opposite is in terms of what you expect out of them is what you'll get. Now with that in mind... let's kick some Wizards ass

You name me another bench in the NBA that can go to Cleveland and beat Cleveland
