    I don't believe there were 2 FRP as well. I'm not buying that.

    You may be right but that was the deal mentioned and some (many?) of us would have jumped at that before Utah could have changed their minds.  Even if it was LM and 1 FRP we still would have done it.

    Everyone was like "His defense sucks." No one wanted that deal at the time. 

    Some of us did want that trade at the time.  Getting a player who was similarly talented (viewed as maybe a small step down), cheaper, shorter contract, and 2 FRP was a great deal at the time and in hindsight was a terrible decision to not take.

    Yes. One source said Lauri and one FRP, another said Lauri and two FRP. This was BEFORE last season when the general feeling was Lauri was a bad contract and needed sweeteners to take it off the Jazz hands.

    That is just embarrassing.  It is hard to be a Hawks fan most of the time.  Kind of like being a Falcons fan.  At least we have the Braves.

    I think the trade was Harrison Barnes and a 1st for JC that Ressler vetoed. He previously vetoed trading Milsap when Bud was here.

    Hire BASKETBALL PEOPLE AND GET OUT THE WAY!!!

    Ridiculous.  He has got to know that his choices are sabotaging his own team.

    Ressler.

    So he going to sell or will it flow downhill (my guess is the latter).  I don’t think this is just on Schlenk.  Makes me want to throw up knowing how much money matters more than winning (or at least doing everything possible to try and win).

    Fun? Ya fine I get that but you want fun or max competition and truly elite teams too to bottom begin to end? I agree it will not change, Adam Silver wants everyone to play, when I just want basketball players to play.. (as selfish as it sounds)..

    I hear you but having two play in teams make the final four seems like a good reason to keep the play in games.  And truly it is only six total extra games to cover the week between regular season and playoffs starting.    You get “basketball players to play” a bit more.  The game against the heat was one of my favorite of the season and we would not have been able to have that with no play in game.

    Question about the games.  We're likely to have a 53 win team play a 44 win team for the title.  Is it just me or has there been a drop off on truly great/dominant teams winning titles and even playing for titles in the past 3-4 years?  Are we at a new level of parity with no true dominant teams?

    I think you are right that there is more parity.  Having a chance at the start of the year for more teams to be in the title hunt is good for business.  And I think the new CBA will encourage even more parity.  
     

    @Spud2nique I have to disagree with your take on the play in game.  It makes the last month of the season much more fun and gives many more teams something to play for.  And multiple play in teams have made it to the final four this year which is cool and will likely give other teams on the bubble a reason to go for it and not sell off everything at the trade deadline each year.  It has done the same thing in baseball with adding the extra wild card.

    That mofo is basically a boxer on the speed bags.

    How can anyone reason that and not sing it?  

    And now that your rose is in bloom, the light someting-something ... on tha greeeyyy.... 

    I unfortunately felt like a speed bag the other day with our new puppy who was “nesting” as my wife put it.  His paws were like watching a Rocky montage.  
     

    and I think all of us will be singing that soundtrack today.  The Bone Thugs N Harmony song on that soundtrack was my favorite.  Sorry Seal.
