Quote: I forgot Kevin Shields too. I think you and I are on different guitar wavelengths than the rest of the Squawk crowd You might say that...I was pretty shocked to see Bernard Butler and Johnny Marr on here. The Smiths are my favorite.

jimi hendrix, jonny greenwood, kevin shields, johnny marr, seth jabour

I have said this before, Smoove's passing ability is underrated...he can pass very well for his position, with smoove, marvin, chill,joe and a decent point guard, this team is going ridiculously good at passing the ball, and the best thing is...none of those guys are selfish at all, they all seem willing to give up the ball to the player with an open shot. That's pretty rare these days, I think BK has done an excellent job at finding players who are talented in lots of areas, smart, and play team ball.

Quote: I like Aldridge and as much as I like Morrison, it'd be tough to take him with the log-jam we have at the 3. But if Chill and Harrington were gone, there would be no log jam at the 3, there would only be Marvin so they would actually need another 3

Tim Thomas is in the last year of his deal, obviously the Hawks wouldn't resign him...So he would only be on the team for the rest of this year. I like Childress, but I would rather have TJ Ford, since we need a point guard, and he is a good one. Adam Morrison isn't Larry Bird...but he is very very good, and he wouldn't be taking Marvins minutes, he would be taking the minutes that Childress was getting before he was traded to the Bucks...Marvin would be getting starters minutes at the 3...

Childress to the Bucks for TJ Ford Harrington/Delk to the Bulls for Tim Thomas/Knicks 1st round pick Draft Adam Morrison, Lamarcus Aldridge next years lineup Ford/Ivey/Lue JJ/Salim/Donta Marvin/Morrison Smoove/Batista Aldridge/ZaZa

ummm...ok...haha

Quote: yup, watch tonite's game everyone, it very well may be al's last game as a hawk One can only hope...One can also hope that if the Hawks do in fact trade Al, they will get something good for him. I do not want another trade like the Rasheed trade, or the Walker trade. I'd like to get something a little more valuble this time.

talent is one thing, what you do on the court is another, there have been plenty of players who have talent and never amount to anything, because they don't have the desire to be great, so far marvin and smoove have not shown they have that, Morrison shows it every time he takes the floor.

don't you guys understand that sometimes a player has something in them that you can't measure with scales, measuring tape, times in speed drills, and things like that? Adam Morrison has the fire, clutch performing, and leadership ability that will make him a great player and a star. He is already a star, he is the most exciting player in the country, he is the only guy in the draft that could potentially boost sales for season tickets. He will probably put up close to 20ppg in his rookie season, I know the Hawks don't need another foward, but i'd draft him anyway, they didn't mind taking another forward last year, and Morrison is better than Marvin, and Smoove put together.

I hope all the guys that talk crap about morrison are watching this game...haha this kid is so fun to watch, so so so good.

Quote: In terms of athleticism and overall skill, Morrison is behind Mike Miller and Luke Jackson, IMO. yep, and Marvin Williams is the best player ever, and Chris Paul sucks right?

I would draft Morrison at all costs, the kid is amazing, but unfortunately i dont think we will even have a shot because he may be the top pick, and the hawks probably wont get the top pick, might not even get a top 3 pick, and he will definitely go top 3.

Adam Morrison, no question...he is amazing, the best pure scorer to come out of college in years, and a true leader.

Demarr Johnson, I know he had a car wreck and almost died, and i know it sounds bad to say he was a flop because of that, but he was, and i thought he was even before the accident, he was what like the 6th or 7th pick and he didn't provide much of anything other than a 3 pointer every once in a while and some decent defense...he just wasn't agressive enough, he actually reminded me of the way i thought of Diaw in a way because, he just didn't seem to have the right attitude to be a great player, also i have to admit i was actually praying the Hawk would take him because when i saw him play for cincinnati, and i saw him light some team up for 20 points in the first half, i thought he was going to be awesome, 6-9 with point guard skills and a 3 point shot? how can you go wrong?

Quote: You see what I'm talking about? Why would the Bull trade Duhon & a first for Harrington? because because because because because...because of the wonderful things he does... why would the Hawks want Darko?? his name is Darko...

After watching the game tonight I see that Arroyo sucks. The pistons need a point guard to backup billups. The bulls want Al...they would probably give up Duhon and a pick for him, Duhon won't agree to the trade to the Hawks im sure, but probably would agree to go to the pistons, the pistons are reportedely shopping Darko....so how about... Hawks trade Harrington Hawks get Darko, Bulls first round pick, Piatkowski Bulls trade Duhon, first rounder, Piatkowski Bulls get Harrington Detroit trades Darko Detroit gets Duhon Then the hawks can draft a big man with their high pick, and a point guard with the bulls pick, maybe rondo, or marcus williams, will fall to that spot

I would love for the Hawks to get Darko i'm just not sure what they could give the pistons for him, he certainly isn't worth Harrington

If the Hawks did get Gordon, how about trading Salim to the Blazers for Jack.

Diesel...what would you think of a Gordon/JJ backcourt?

Exodus...i realize you don't think this trade will happen, and you are probably right, it's just a rumor some guy for the miami herald made up, but...i'm just curious as to what you would think of a JJ/Gordon backcourt... you have stated that JJ isn't a point guard, and i can see where you are coming from, but would a combination of JJ and Gordon work in your opinion?

Quote: but we have his bird rights so we can do a sign and trade in the offseason for Al if he wants more money. Chicago may not want to take the chance of him/us doing that. This way they can sign him for the most amount of money. Exactly, and I'm sure there will be teams willing to do a sign and trade for Al, and since Al and BK seem to have a good relationship, it doesn't make sense to think that Al wouldn't help BK and himself by using that to get the max amount he can possibly get.

Let's just assume Chicago would do the trade, they may not i have no clue, for all i know this rumor has no validity, and it probably doesn't, more than likely some reporter is just speculating. Would you like a backcourt of JJ and Gordon?

Perhaps they gave in to starting Gordon to showcase him for a trade? it's been rumored all season long he wanted to get out of Chicago, and besides, they need Harrington more than they need Gordon...Duhon and Hinrich play well together at the guard positions, with AL in the mix they could be a serious playoff contender

well ive been reading all year long that Ben Gordon and Scott Skiles don't particularly like each other, and they have Duhon that can play point with Hinrich at the 2, it's been rumored for a long time they want harrington, they have the money to resign him in the offseason, if they made the trade now they would have his bird rights and would be in the drivers seat to resign him, they can't get Al for nothing, and while gordon is a good player, he is expendable because of Hinrich and Duhon And they can't trade us Duhon because he would have to agree to the deal since they matched his contract offer, and I think theres no way Duhon would want to come here.3 Gordon isn't their best player either, that would be Hinrich
