Why would Dwight and Chris play for a rookie coach? D12 would SnT with Brooklyn, sign with Dallas, sign with Houston (McHale), but Bud? Chris will have LA and Hollins, Doc or the Knicks for an amnestied Stoudemire.

Maybe not, Deke still lives here.

The most significant move for the Hawks was the hiring of Bud. Hiring Bud has killed acquiring Dwight and Chris Paul. Neither will come to Atlanta with this rookie coach Had we hired McMillian or SVG or Doc or Hollins or maybe even keeping Drew, we would have a chance. Had we selected Mo Cheeks, George Karl or JVG we would have had a chance. Even Kidd we had a chance. They will not come for Bud and Snyder. forgetaboutit. It will be a slow build and many will wish Bud was still be in SA.

The 92.9 move is very good. It is easy to find (old QXIE spot) and the signal will cover 7 million listeners around. It was needed. With near total control and money he has the power to make us contenders. He just only have 5 years cause he will be spending a lot.

Al can nail that 18ft jumper. He is great in transition and when matched against a smaller or slow-footed player he can out maneuver. But he is limited as a post player because of under-developed footwork and relatively short arms. He will thrive as PnP PF. In the post he better be more Moses and Karl and eat the glass to get to the line.

I can see Dwight changing his number. A new start. A boost in marketing brand. Fresh perspective.

We do know Doc. We do know Lionel Hollins. What coach('s) have done the most with the least? What coach do players want to play for? I believe Drew did exceptionally well here. I think Randy Wittman has done well. I believe Nate McMillian has the experience and right relationships to bring players. And by the way, outside of winning what does this "change the culture" mean?

I think we missed with Bud.

where is that thought from. Woody was accomplished

I've been told it indeed will be, but not yet official. I jumped the gun then called to ask if it is official.

All time best NBA Net player is now their coach. OOps, not quit a done deal yet. flame on.

Mario Ellie, Bill Cartwright, Mark Price.

overhead? Dwight and Chris sign with 15 in the first year. 7-10 is left to sign 2 guys and resign 6 of our own, Kyle, Josh, Ivan, Zaza, Teague and Scott. How is that professor?

So you are saying we can go over the sc into LT land to sign guys that played for us? Ah, like Zaza, Kyle, Harris and Josh after others are signed?

You don't move Lou. denounce Teague and Scott. I believe Stern will increase the SC as his parting gift.

Gearon has said he can go into the LT.

Gearon was willing to go into the LT for LaBron, I believe he would for D12,CP3,Josh and Al.

What is Josh Smith's cap hold (number)?

D12 Al Josh Lou CP3 I don't mind.

I don't think Josh is signed unless he delivers Dwight and it would .be 4yrs/48 mil. Teague you know is to be offered. This year before next season when he is a UFA

Past this season, Josh would be costly. To reinvest into Josh vs an able Granger is the matter. We without a doubt still need to get a center and Dwight may indeed be had. We have picks coming and moving now expediates the tank.

This is for Indy to stewp up their playoff climb to the Finals? Well it may only be noise but I'd do it. With Granger out for quite a time I'd get free of Josh and build around Al, Danny and Lou.

Hawks need to send someone over there and find out if the guy is nuts or just want to get out of cattle land.

17,782 the promotion was for gate. simple

Retaining Teague, DeShawn, Ivan and Mike Scott, along with Al, Lou and JJ we are at 26.3 mil. soft cap will be around 60 mil., luxury tax at 71 mil.(at least). This leaves 44 million to spend. We may be able to get Dwight, Josh, Zaza and Allen for 41 mil.(19,14, 4,4) and fill the roster with vetmins (3 players 3 mil.). One of the 4 is rookie scale. DeShawn is a team option and his numbers could be vetmin if he accepts it. That takes the 26.3 down to 25 mil pushing the spendable to 45.3. making 3 players for 4.3 mil to spend. Then sign Korver for 2.5, 1st round rookie gets 1.5 and two vetmins or rooks and we are at or just above the LT. If we have a team of Teague/Lou/vetmin Allen/DeShawn/JJ Josh/Korver/vetmin Al/Ivan/Scott Dwight/Zaza Philips is filled and LT is not a matter.
