Out of the four teams the Celtics played in the playoffs, you could argue that we gave them the most trouble.

Hey guys, long time watcher, but I rarely post. How about this (sorry if someone has already post this) Atl send AL, Lue And/or Delk to the Clippers Clippers send Shaun Livingston/Draft Pick to ATL I know some additional players would probably have to be involved for the salary cap issues. Thoughts?

Since Steve Belkin owns 30% of the team (he holds the biggest % of the Hawks), maybe he is purposely trying to kill the Hawks value in Atlanta to facilitate a move to Vegas in 2 years from now?

I know this might sound crazy, but what if the Hawks offered max contracts to both Chandler & Curry at the same time. (we have the cap room) If they both accept, the bulls would be forced to make a choice within 7 days on which one to keep (I don't believe the bulls have the cap space to match both), this might faclitate a SNT. Just a thought

ESPN just reported it, guess we won't have a opportunity to give him a offer for him to turn down

People say that we will have to overpay to get any decent FA's or FA won't want to play here, that will be somewhat true, but there's a big difference between this off-season and lasts'. It was clear why FA's did not want to play here last year despite the fact that we had the Cap space, Not only were we a bad team, we were a faceless team, who did we have to attract any FA's? (JT, Boris, Crawford ), if I’m not mistaken didn't we have only about 5 players under contract after last season. You could understand why if you were a FA the Hawks would not be on your wish list of teams to join. Fast-forward a year and alot has changed, I would argue that the Hawks will do well without having to give superstar money to a average player, not only do the Hawks have the Cap room, but they have players that other players want to play with, playing with the likes of J Smooth, Chill, & now Williams will attract FA's. We are also a team on the rise, we are young and do not have any bad contracts that will restrict us. When the trade deadline was coming, A.Walker was quite vocal about wanting to stay here (he saw the direction this team is going), any of the young FA C or PG will see the Hawks as an opportunity to be a starter and surround themselves with some great young talent. Also, don't forget that the city of ATL is quite attractive to the players (weather, nightlife, etc) Just my opinion

How about this Walker/Delk/Collier to Memphis for S.Swift/B.Wells/J.Tsakalidis This would help both teams Thoughts??

This Sunday the Hawks will have a "Open to the Public" practice at Phillips Arena from 10 AM to noon with a autograph session from 12 to 12:30. The Falcons kick-off at 1:00 against the Lions. This was a smart move by the Hawks knowing that Falcons Landing (The Free Pre-game entertainment before each Falcons Home Game) will be full of people and with Phillips arena being next to it, it should draw a good turn out. I will be there (for the practice & Falcons Game). Anyone else going?
