Gonna be honest this is the 1st time in awhile i have been impressed by the Hawks front office.  They didn't just wilt and cave in to people trying to fleece us or get us off our price.   If you can't get what you know your players value is then don't move him for a crap platter coming back.  Not to bad at all it gives me hope going forward.

The problem is not that they didn't trade to trade.  It's that this team is flawed and if you have a chance to correct just a few, you do it.  I don't know the conversations, but a few of the deals would have been plausible for this team.

I'm out til at least the draft.  Yall have fun.  I'm gonna watch the Celtics.  I've hated the Celts my entire old ass life but at least the are not the clown show Atlanta is.  

That stinks .  But I get it. Inept.  That's this franchise.  Oh well...summer.

our FO is not dumb. I have to repeat that. The biggest problem we have is Messy Ressy. No FO can overcome a cheap, meddlesome owner.

I've heard that he's going to go for the LT this summer and is willing to pay it so we'll see.

 

Soth...much respect, but how much bs is going to be piled on before we realize this set up as is...is below average? The competency level is questionable to us because of the information you and others have shared.  It's like they've fumbled the bag over and over.  If Ressler is meddling what gives you confidence that the FO will be able to come to life this summer?

Yall do know this happens every year.  It is the Hawks way right? Insider sources leak bs(fed to them I reckon)..and we fall for it.  The FO is sitting around like :

HotSupes has been traded to MavsSquawk...pending physical. 

We can dream

Say what you want.  There are at least 2 deals I've seen we could have done. Smart FO's didn't settle for trash and made smart moves.  We're dumb.

Thanks for the clarification.  Make it easy on the moderators and use "media insiders" when you bash people because "insiders" on this board usually refers to a group of posters and is likely to get read that way.

So also for clarification...don't name names or don't call people names? Attack the post. I think that's it right?

Summer.........nothing will happen.  Just kicking rocks down the road.  Guy I talk with in business says ownership not interested in making moves while the stands are still full.  

Anybody believing half the smoldering pile of steamy crap coming from the FO is severely loving this comedy sitcom.  

Maybe the insiders know, but I just don't see Murray and OO moving on the same deal without the likes of Zion or Ingram who I don't think they would move for either of these assets. The build up is great.  But I don't see NO as viable without inclusion of the former or latter player.

I hear a lot of "wait till the summer," and I think I'm resigned to that. Until then...I'll wait for more smoke around the Hawks

And I do appreciate you standing on this unlike the last post.

I'm crushed.

I have never seen a poster so confidently wrong. Hunter was defending well tonight. Everything was tightly contested and everytime you say Marvin, it's like, man, you are lucky AHF is on me for attacking posters for terrible posts. You need to carefully pay attention when you watch these games. I don't believe you do that. Pay really close attention, please. 

Like it or not, it's somewhere in between with Hunter.  He's not as good or bad as I think I guess. I acknowledge the big wing..yada yada, but IF and I know it's a big IF, the Hawks find decent wing replacements I'm all in on trading Hunter. Now the reality is, it's not easy.  If the mods don't care, you can come after me Supes. I'm all in for it.

Uh yeah we will..  I’ve seen nothing but unneeded panic from this board since June

 

It’s a continuous cycle of “insider” post vague af post… 80% say it’s trash and panic and blame Ressler 5% skeptical, 5% say they are becoming Jazz fans

People can feel what they want. It's the battered fan syndrome. Do you.  But I don't have to think it's the damn Glee club around the Hawks.

We caught breaks with Cam AND Heurter.  We're just too emotional in the moment to see it.  We got first round picks back for both of those guys and they barely belong in NBA rotations right now.  Now, that's absolutely a consolation prize as ideally, our picks would be hitting in a way we keep guys on the roster.  JJ seems to be that -- I'm hopeful OO is too.  We'll see on Bufkin.  Maybe I'm just a glass half-full type of person, but I see a lot of other teams struggling a lot more than us right now.  I'm bullish on our future.  Quin has only had ~half a season to put his fingerprints on this team.

No one says you can't be bullish, but the Hawks constantly mismanaged assets.  That's my opinion. Until they exhibit some form of competency, it's right to question the vision.

These are some strong points dude and just makes me scratch my head.  We just can't catch a break as Hawks fans man...  Our franchise player can't make an ASG, even after being a fan vote leader.  Our rookies can't stay healthy or get PT because.......reasons.  We can never have front office stability - not without some kind of strange drama.  Go ahead and sprinkle in a little trade request...that isn't really a trade request...for a player that has everything the league wants...but also seems to have no real value beyond token 1st round picks.

Sorry ya'll.  I'm just venting...lol

Join the vent club. Don't stop.  Ain't no rosey azz picture needed. We are fans.  We are craving success.  That said...I'm trying to stay off the ledge too!

Y'all want to hate on Bey but we'd be in really bad shape without him.  And his D has improved.  I wish a few other guys on his team would have his motor and toughness. 

He's exactly what you want in a guy coming off the bench or having to do spot starting.  

Assume we'd get Okoro or Delon but not both.  We really need a backup 4.  

Man h3ll nah. I'm sorry but I feel like I've now been voted "Hater of the year," but I don't care.  Bey is NOT a person you go into luxury for.  Good lord this is the bizarro world and thinking like that keeps you in mediocre territory.  Aim freaking high for once people. MOTOR. MOTOR. People love motors, but so what.  He is a Pinto Running down hill. A good gust of wind and it's headed the other way.  No!

If I'm in the FO and he's the guy and wants an extension....  My response is simple :

Yall can miss me with Bey luxury tax stuff.  You really want to go into luxury for him? Yuck. It reeks. It reeks of stank booty.  All of the rumors..changing course.  Bunch of same ol crap I said 200 posts ago.  

I'm the resident Hunter "hater" but I'm giving him his due. He's balling tonight.
