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.

Hey winning 60 games didn’t exactly register in any meaningful free agent but hey.

Silver is a f@$$ moron . With all the league has gotten wrong. And mind you he long ago could have stood up and hammered the 76ers. But choose to do nothing because he’s a stooge for the owners that signs his check. In reality he can’t do shit cause a little under half the league would be disqualified.

No that was Wes and bud and to some degrees ferry although he was fired. It is my belief that that 60 win team was meant to be stripped and shipped for other pieces otherwise why did ferry pretty much not secure any of their bird rights. They just happened to really catch a down eastern conference that year. We still got nowhere with that team. Adding Paul would keep postponing the inevitable.

Love Paul but history says that contract will be an albatross in seasons to come. It already is being that paul has only played 16 games. The hawks would have been swept in the 1st round if they even made it that far. Which I highly doubt they would. When horford walked the hawks should have been rebuilding. Intstead they signed Dwight ( approaching that middle build that you suggest) it blew up in there face and we are where we are now. Ersan was a bad gamble but then there is a reason he’s been traded so much. The one year deal was done to have expiring contracts that a contender might want to take on for the stretch run. Nobody figured he’d go all I want to be here. Yes the fans have a right to be pissed but that was bud and Wes’s doing. Schlenk is just cleaning the dog doodie off the floor. Exactly.

Which is why I’m hopeful of schlenk. He’s two for two in my eyes Collins and Dorsey have been surprises. Give him four picks and I think we should come away with some talent. Also not all theses guys will stay with us. The next guy that cough cough is unhappy with his team the hawks could be in position to pounce and go from there.

Actually they have. Golden state and Cleveland. Golden state was mediocre post the baron, Jackson years. They gutted the team signed David lee to a massive contract. Then they got lucky in the lottery people passed on curry and klay. Jettisoned monta and acquired bogut and Barnes and drsymond. Rest is history. Cleveland was in no mans land as they were an older capped out roster that wasn’t good post LeBron move to Miami. Couple years later acquired Bennett who was a bad pick, Wiggins and kyrie and flip a couple for love rest is history.
