  1. Trade both Ayón, Antić and a #1 round pick for Asik and Garcia.
  2. It depends. is Integrity a component of this "change the culture"?
  3. Is this part of this "changing the culture" ? If he blew the test four hours later and tested .01, he was at least .9 when arrested. Integrity is important. Bud may need to own this.
  4. Well, I guess a lot remains to be seen but signing an aging guy half across the globe with not impressive numbers in an inferior league instead of a know commodity as well as fan favorite gives me pause. This culture change thing feels coded and vague. I was very comfortable with Zaza and Ivan. I don't get Antić. Perhaps he will deliver what is needed. I believe Ivan will be even better given consistent minutes. And where is "Nique in this culture? He has been absent and silent.
  5. Ok, This Antić averages 6pts and 3 reb in an inferior league I don't get it. I guess Ivan and the culture don't match.
  6. Can't bet until the November roster is established. If Rondo is not on it, All bets are off.
  7. [*]He plays hard and has a future in the league. He does not had Dennis's speed or defense but is better suited today. He should make the team at least until Lou is ready.
  8. much better than most suspect. It is interesting to hear and read ideas of their demise. This team has Loads of talent. In fact they have the assets of being a dynamic team. A look at their forwards: Bass, Green, Humphries, Wallace and Sullinger. All Five can start in most and many teams. While Bass, Humphries and Sullinger are best suited at the 4, Green can do both 3/4. With Wallace at the 3, Brooks and Bogans can swing from 2 to 3. There is no shortage at guard talent (except backup point) with Courtney Lee, Avery Bradley, Jordan Crawford and of course Rondo. The question is center where they are young and inexperienced. I believe Ainge being the active master trader will remedy this. If I may be Ainge, a Bass, Humphries and Bogan trade to Houston for Asik and Lin. This trade would have them challenging for the East top spot. Don't sleep on these guys.

    Ivan Johnson

    Muscala is a good player. Cunningham has some game and very athletic. Mack can be a quality backup. Allow Dennis and Bebe to get some seasoning in the D-League.
  10. Miller might be a better option.

    Ivan Johnson

    Right now and most likely this season, Mack is better than Dennis. Allow Dennis to develop in the D-League as well as Bebe.
  12. I really do like the signings, I wish we had Zaza, Ivan and Asik for Josh. I hope Bud is a very good coach cause Drew Is. Aside of Jenkins and Scott, who from the summer will play at Philips? Muscala, Mack and Cunningham I suppose. That would make 11. Make that 12 I forgot about Carroll.
  13. Problem number one, Atlanta doesn't love Atlanta. We are fickle, we are separated. Part of the dislike is racist another part is indifference (just here to make money). The sprawling burbs have their local loyalties with much not care of anything inside I285. Splash this on a highly transient, transplant population.
  14. If Danny is smart he would match. Teague does have dog in him and continually improving. As far as Milwaukee, they are without a doubt, on the rise. If LD gets Jeff they have passed us. Players shall notice how Ferry treats players. Teague, Josh, Zaza, Ivan, all wanted to stay. Yet Korver at 6mil with his age passes Ferry's test.
  15. And 'Nique wasn't there. He must not be a part of this "Culture Change".
  16. The difference between Josh and Milsap is 5-6 million a year. The difference between a good player and a very good player. Josh led the Hawks last year. Without him we would have ping-pong balls in the draft.
  17. I like Al, but Al does not have superstar potential. In fact Josh has more talent hands down. If Josh decides to he is a superstar. But deciding to is play towards the rim and not the jumper. Al is very good but will not be a superstar.
  18. Washington passes us and Milwaukee.
  19. Larry Drew probably will too. If Milwaukee clowns us and gets Teague for Jennings the laughing league wide will be even louder.
  20. But we are "Changing the Culture"!!
