I wasn’t around then but been a hawks fan and I can tell you I wanted any pg in the draft besides Tyrone lue garbage ass.they were flip for Cap space and future considerations which were bunged which allowed the hawks to acquire milsap and co. Mike Scott and co made some contributions but hardly moved the needle much for you and secondly.

People won’t admit it but #1 was especially the case for horford. If a guy tells you they plan to test free agency before the trade deadline you prolly should entertain trading them because at the end of the day they are looking out for the own best self interest. Which they very well should have. Milsap is trickier because he wanted to get paid and his age is very against him. But point remains trade em.

Nobody is saying a young team will win it or is the end all. This is the reason you here embid publicly calling for LeBron to join them. The point is you have to have good to almost borderline great players that either guys want to play with or that you can sell somebody on to offer you something for said max guy for. Unfourtanetly you anti tankers are confusing the two. The truth is this is the hawks own doing yes we whiff badly on players even when winning we would take marginal guys at best (Jenkins) instead of taking guys like Middleton and draymond. Knowing good full well how those players would probably turnout. And often over judge talent on our own end prolly wasn’t wise to sign Bazemore to the 17 mill and escalating contract or maybe after trading korver go ahead and ship Paul instead of saying no we are completing now.

Childress and Sheldon were bad picks, so was acie law and countless others. Many of them were flipped for players that helped the hawks get to the winning side of things. Marvin wasn’t a bad pick he just should not have been picked by the hawks.

Lol. Illy was traded for bud bud and Wes. He just resigned him in the hopes he could flip him. Dedmon has been great but prolly isn’t a long term answer. Belli was acquired along with plumlee in the Dwight trade who was bought in by bud and Wes. An unhappy Dwight which is where that was headed was moved. Schlenk did the best he could with what he had which was nothing.

The hawks have cap space. Not everybody will be resigning with current team. Shift through some of that and you will run into some decent guys. Yet none of those guys are there now save for horford. Yes the traded for crowder and Isaiah on cheap deals that their teams realized was prolly going to be an overpay. Ironically Seems to me Boston did what Atlanta tried to do with bellineli and illysova. Teams just weren’t fooled because they are afterthoughts after the after thought. No shame in that and the hawks had to spend the money somewhere besides throwing it to a pf who is good but prolly will get worse in passing seasons.

Might be true but in the case of parsons and Conley if you can’t stay on the floor how good are you really. They did what you kinda envision. Shipped off zack, paid Conley and parsons way too much money and have an older Gasol sittin around getting older. Meaning the only way they can hope to improve is to tank.

Shipped em off for picks ironically that compromises there core now. Yeah they signed some free agents, but remember kyrie was supposedly trying to get to New York. They signed some veterans but depending on who you believe most only care about kyrie. Seeing horford as overpaid and Gordon as an incomplete cause of the injury. But long story short Boston tore down a playoff team and used draft picks to build it back up.

Yeah he had a rough game but is rusty. But I can see why he’s in the lotto. I’m warm on him and since we may not be picking top 2 am currentlyu deciding between him, Jackson and bagley. His brother looks like a guy I’d like the hawks to think about.

I’m not sure what that team accomplishes maybe a 7 game series we eventually lose in the 1st round.

Except thabeet had no offensive game so to speak of. If you see thabeet I’m not exactly sure what your looking at.

You got to have something to trade for these players. Lord knows the stars are not knocking down the doors to get to Atlanta. And how do you acquire top talent. Tank like hell.

Yeah but Rasheed was a former top 4 pick. The others I’m too lazy to look up but besides Wallace and prince they were reasonable. Funny thing is I would have prefer for the hawks to keep Sheed. Even though we were well off from winning. But just for giggles rip was drafted 7th, prince 23 Wallace undrafted. Billups was 3rd so in short history proves that if you are drafting at the top those guys will play for championships just maybe not you.

Kids playing a lot of pf for Arizona next to a big man that makes him play off what would be his strengths. He will be fine. Plus I think bud could do wonders with him.

No he should not have been at least not for anything more than 22 mil.

You forgot bembry lol

What? Clearly teams tank and have visions and thus build their team. You may not like how you got there but if from this draft Schlenk drafts or acquires guys because of this draft that propel this franchise forward are you really still gone to cry wolf because they tanked.

No it doesn’t. Going all in on Davis, embid type players is vastly different from going all in on , milsap horford, korver and anybody else from that team. Hate to break it to you but ferry was gonna tear that team apart he just didn’t get to finish what he started. Plus that 60 win team did play in a noticeable weaker east that year.

Just Detroit. But considering how they were built ie grant for Ben, rip for stack and Wallace for sura. Prince should have been a lottery pick at least top five but most people whiffed on him.

That’s not even remotely true. That’s an assumption. But like previously stated depends largely on who we take. I won’t say we will be as bad as we are this year but we will be better.

Lol. So paying a mediocre core and prolly the tax just to fight to make the playoffs or a 1st round exit. Yeah no. The hawks are on the right path at the moment. And I doubt it takes five years to. Get back to the playoffs.

Yeah I know what you mean.

I’m not surprised warren was a decent player in fact I wanted the hawks to take him sadly he was teakettle before we got to pick.

Truly. I would reach back and take Knox or carter jr. Knox profiles as a scorer. Carter a solid glue guy.

All is right in the world again.
