pathway23 Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 What do you think about this? I think its a good signing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted September 17, 2002 Premium Member Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 Great Move by Babcock!! I applaud this effort to get us into the playoffs. Hamm is an athletic guy who can play the 3/4 positions. I don't know how he feels playing with Big Dog again but that's alright. NOW. Ira playing the 2 doesn't bother me. Let the preseason battle between Ira and Dion begin!!! Gentlemen, I think we are SET!!! JT/DD Ira or Dion/Email BD/Hamm/CC SAR/Hendu Theo/Nazr I wonder though.... Had DJ not gotten hurt, would we have considered going after Oakley?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoonKnight Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 this season as he seemed to make a big game turning play against us every year we played the bucks. He can change a game with his energy and D. He should also be able to replace DJ's 40 inch vertical dunks effectively for one season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathway23 Posted September 17, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 http://www.nba.com/hawks/news/Free_Agent_D...i-53209-33.html www.hawks.com You're right Ham used to kill the Hawks now the Hawks should have even more success against the Bucks, he will be out for revenge against them! lol!

Admin chillzatl Posted September 17, 2002 Admin Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 that every team needs to be a winner. I'm glad to see us getting someone who has proven himself. He's not going to wow you with his scoring but he's a blue collar player. Just what we needed really. Being able to rotate the 2/3 spots between bigdog/ira/dion/Hamm will be a nice thing to have.

pathway23 Posted September 17, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 now our 2nd unit is (you think?) : PG - Dickau SG - Glover SF - Hamm PF - Hendu C - Nazr I think thats a nice second unit. Glover the primary option and offensive sets run off him. you're right now its not so bad for Ira to start. There is enough firepower off the bench for him to provide defense to the starters and just a little offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hds428 Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 I think Ham is a good solid pickup for us. Having him at the SF spot should allow Ira to start since we don't have to worry about having a hole in the second unit and he could fill in on the front line if Hendu or Theo goes down. Good quality signing Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin capstone21 Posted September 17, 2002 Admin Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 A really nice pickup. I think this solidifys Ira at the SG position and Dion off the bench. I think DG is more suited to a 6th man role because we are going to need some offence coming from the bench. Plus with Ira now in the starting lineup we have the permimeter defender who can guard the high scoring swingmen out there. I like Ham and what he will bring to the Hawks. He will provide good defence backing the Dog and can fill in if Hendu goes down. He can also get some garbage points here and there. Nice job Pete, you are definitely making a winner out of the Hawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbergsma Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 I think our second unit now could effectively challenge our first unit of a few years ago. That bothers me, but in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTFan31 Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 Babs has just transformed htis team in a matter of one year. He has aquired 2 prolific scorers in Reef and Big dog, with them he puts a couple of players that fit in perfect with this team. The hawks have 3 prolific scorers and we all know who they are. Then Babs add, although Theo was here before, this will hopefully be his first season with the Hawks (keep your fingers crossed).....Babs adds not 1 but 2, hardnose, high energy, scrappy players in Ham and Newble....what a mixture of players which is great, this is exactly what great teams are built. 3 great defenders in Theo, Ira and Darwin together with 3 premiere scorers in this league Big Dog, Reef and JT. I might be a little optimistic and biased here but IMO Babs has just built a championship caliber team, possibly the best team in the East, IMO top 3. What do you all think?

Playoffs03 Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 Well done Pete! Ham is a great pickup. Anybody know what kinda contract we offered him? I hope Pete has something else going on to bring us a 3 pt threat. We only have one right now (JT). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 Championship?I think you are going alittle far here.lol We know have some defenders aswell as scorers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nique21 Posted September 18, 2002 Report Share Posted September 18, 2002 Pathway23....your right those are probably the number 1 backups at all the positions. Just remember that all 5 starters don't come out of the game at once, and all 5 backups don't come in as once. You will still see JT, Reef, or Dog staying in with the second group. The signing of Ham is ok, but I was dreaming higher. It could have been a lot worse though, so I won't complain. Eastern Conference here we come!!!
