ATLJA316

I want this to happen. Even if Shaq as a player is a bust here in Atlanta - I want him for his championship mentality - we need more of that on this team. (Obviously Woody wearing his championship ring wasnt enough :laughing5: )

'Till we get a true starting C, I'm not sure he can quite make Horford whatever he wants him to be. Cant wait 'till that day arrives though.

I'm not the most excited person/nor saddest - but I'm waiting 'till I see what the new guy has up his sleeve as far as our new offensive system works.

Not sure that's exactly how I see it - but that's a pretty good stance that cat took.

whoa whoa whoa - I just heard this on ESPN - he wants to stay in Atlanta? I literally just heard a conflicting report on ESPN saying that he just met w/ new york at midnight... I've been out all night - what am I missing?

That kid was no joke when he was out on the court - I'm not ready to put this guy in the hall of fame or anything just yet, but I'm def. not taking my eyes off of him any time soon.

I'm a Hawks fan and joe isnt even MY first option.

No way! Tmac's back starts hurting every time the coach asks him to play defense!

I dont mean to be out of line, but all of your posts are awful. PLEASE fix your caps lock.

Why would you say that? Randolph got crazy high scores on his SAT's - he's no idiot.

Same here, but man...it's scary to think that Miami somehow has 42 mil to spend. Wow. just...Wow.

You'd better believe we arent the only ones in the NBA having this conversation right now. I fear these things will invade NBA arenas from coast to coast. Ugh.

Good find.

If anyone plays online w/ PS3 - add me - ATLJA316 I love this game!

I've given the Shaq idea some thought, and think it could be a good thing. Not for ANY of the reasons you mentioned though. I'd like him for the media attention, and the locker room presence. A guy w/ as much playoff/finals experience as Shaq could do nothing but good for our young core. As far as basketball on-the-court shaq goes... There's not much we could expect to get out of him. All that said...If Joe ended up in Cleveland and we could get a young gun and Shaq out of it, I wouldn't be mad.

LOL @ Gearon getting fined $25K, but Cuban getting ripped @ $100K... I guess it's cuz he's a repeat offender...

I guess throw my name in the hat to say i'm all for trade #1. I'd still like to see a spark off the bench, or use crawford to snag a big man, so no to option #2.

Before we have another SheldOn Williams fiasco... it's Quincy PONDEXTER Just sayin...

What it says to me is that in game 2, Orlando will make the appropriate adjustments and win. I still think they outmatch the Celtics up and down the court. No way Van gundy doesnt have his team come out swinging in game 2.

+1 HAHAHA that was hilarious!

I may not be of much help here... But I rolled around some ideas in my head about getting Bosh. The only reasonable thing I came up with was attempting to strike a 3-way SNT which would bring Bosh here, send Joe to team X, and send toronto players from team X... That's one of my ideal offseason plans. Say we brought in Sam Mitchell as coach - Bosh flourished under his leadership, and Toronto was a pretty good team considering what they had to work with. Also to fill the void of Joe, maybe just move Crawford into the starting spot? very vague, but...it's 3:30am, that's the best I can do right now haha. Thoughts?

welcome back!

I DO!

I have no idea. But it makes a lot more sense than Woodson's coaching.

I feel like the Atlanta fan base has been burned one too many times to accept any more apologies from mediocre athletes.
