  1. Pairing Dwight with Al is awesome. I wonder if DF really wants Dwight. I wonder why Dominique was not there. This "change the culture" thing is kinda creepy. Has 'Nique been put away for this culture change? If it happens that DF did not really go after Dwight, this era is going to be long and painful. Because a slow route in the NBA is painful. D12 means so much for this franchise. DF need to recognize the attendance and the tele broadcast. No one is interested without a star.
  2. Dolfan can you add a check under "Like This" that reads "This is Bull Doo Doo"?
  3. I believe you missed my point. The entertainment opportunities in LA are in Atlanta, with less BS. I program from start to air in Atlanta is cheaper and quicker here, would reach the same viewers.
  4. I doubt it was their first meeting. Dwight having played many times at Philips and spent time in the arena after games, all the owners have met him. It is good to have the money man there, fore Dwights money men were there also. Bud gave philosophy and looked into his eyes. I do believe Dwight wants Josh there and it was ASG's opportunity to respond to his desire. After second thought, there was no need to bring Lou and Al out there for the meeting. Dwight and Lou are boys, Al is the consummate teammate nuff said.I'm sure they shared the new facilities and the push for investments. With Dwight money will not be a problem organizationally, investors will be knocking down the door. And remember the Hawks play in London this year. That's another million coming at Dwight's way just by being there.
  5. Top franchises seize the moment. Dwights only come around every 4-5 years. This is That moment. This is the D12,Al,Josh and Lou moment. This is Atlanta's time. Ferry better recognize.
  6. Oh Time Warner. That would be like "Turner"? Turner with all of their programming in....Atlanta? Is their an agreement in place with Tyler Perry? How many studios in the metro area? Movie Studios, recording studios, tele and advertising studios. BET films here. Outside of LA and NY Atlanta is the entertainment destination. That is what the talking heads won't say.
  7. I disagree. No one (Dwight) will be doubled without paying a high price, because of Al's 15-18 ft jumper. So Dwight without being doubled in the post is close to automatic, he just needs two moves and work on his free throws. Just as Duncan, high post Dwight and pass over opponents to Al or Josh (Josh has already perfected that lob) for points. It may be the best front since Parrish/McHale/Bird.
  8. Josh is set to meet with the Rockets. I hope DF doesn't bend over a SnT giving Them Josh and Dwight.
  9. This guy on ESPN says the Hawks only have 28.5 under the cap. They do not give us a chance to do the deal.
  10. Josh was the Hawks MVP last season and you folks call him crap. We were competitive for the 4th seed with him, without him we were in the lottery. Josh is in LA. I hope Ferry is smart enough to bring Josh, Jeff, Lou and Al to the meeting. PS. I hope Dwight and Josh don't read Hawksquawk cause your hate speaks loud. Now that is ridiculous.
  11. Jeff's QO settles his requirement for the year. I would not extend him until the off-season or not. Allow him to play thru the season, see what Dennis may bring. I'd resign the shooter, Korver and Ivan.
  12. He looks like a 7 foot Sly.
  13. You may not know, Dwight is a "Swatguy". He was reared on the fields and gyms of Adams Park, John A. White Park, Sandtown, Ben Hill. He is as Atlanta as 3000, Ceelo and what flavor is mentioned. His folks are Strong in the community. But really cause you don't want him here, why bother?
  14. DF will need to enlist all of the power of Atlanta from Mayor Reed to The Gov. From Massell to Khalil Johnson. Tyler Perry to Andre 3000. Get them on board we may have a chance.
  15. "KG and Pierce for Humphries, Wallace and a boatload of first round picks."
  16. "KG and Pierce for Humphries, Wallace and a boatload of first round picks."
  17. I like McCollum a lot. However, if we do not trade down my targets are Larkin and Giannis. Those two are the big risk big reward type guys that are worth the investment. Shane is a winner beyond reason and Giannis potential is off the chain. Giannis is the physical rarity you want.
  18. To have FAcy before the draft makes too much sense.
  19. With the changes in Boston, Rondo may be available. As they should have a new fresh face, Trade Horford and Teague for Rondo and Jordan Crawford. Fill the void with Jefferson as a ....PF. Al Jefferson is not the best defender as a center but should defend at least as well as a PF. Al is very active and scores as well as any PF in the league if featured. He definitely scores better than Horford and may be had at 10mil per. With that give Dwight the moon, stars(dat be Tyler Perry stuff and JD) and a SF. Hawks have said they will go into the LT. Being as it may, sign Josh or Iggy also. In short, I'd move Horford for Rondo knowing I can get Jefferson. Rondo Lou Iggy Jefferson Dwight
  20. OK, I SnT Josh and a #2 pick for a SnT acquiring Hickson and Wes Mathews. I want young talent so no Tony Allen (unless 4yr/22mil.) If Plumlee is there, get him. Qualify Teague with no extension, draft Shane Larkin if available. Resign Korver, Zaza and Ivan. Go HARD for IGGY. Team looks like this: Teague/Lou/Shane Wes/Lou/Jenkins Iguodala/Korver Horford/Hickson/Ivan Zaza/Plumlee/Ivan fillers:Scott, Mack
  21. We have the tale of two teams right now with one with Chris and D12, while the other is the "build" without them. Getting the dynamic duo would be great, it is what we want but it is remote. I'd rather have young talent on the cusp than aging vets that will eat up the cap( Jefferson, Ellis). The two picks in the first round is an opportunity. I am hoping for Plumlee and either Franklin, Larkin, Schröder or Antetukounmpo. As for FA, Iggy maybe.
