Lue Out? 4-6 weeks

[HawksFan87]

now we have no choice but to trade AL for a PG who's going to pick up his scoring slack for the 4- 6 weeks he will be out he suffered the injury today in practice a link is on realgm.com talking about

so possible trde partners

DENVER- MILLER or WATSON

CHICAGO- DUHON, GORDON or HINRICH

MINNESOTA- JARIC OR BANKS

[thesheedera]

ouch

[Packfill]

Well this is probably a good thing as the Hawks can give more playing time to Ivey and Salim to see if they have the ability to be more than back-ups.

[Diesel]

We need details... get on the phone and call your girl and see what's wrong with her.

[Final_quest]

I wonder if they'll activate Delk now.

[Diesel]

If Delk was activated and came on like Gangbusters!!

[exodus]

Only a total retard would make a joke out of a knee injury.

Of course you fit the bill so I am not surprised.

[HawksFan87]

this injury hurts but it is a sign that we need to make a deal for a PG now the idiot WOODSON has no choice but to play DELK because IVEY and STOUDAMIRE aint gonna cut it

[TheDude]

ladies ladies ladies...stop the bickering...i think someone needs to call the Dove self-esteem hotline....

seriously though, this could be a negative if he was going to be trade bait (probably not though) but this can also be good to give Ivey the keys to the team to see what he can do fulltime. you never know what can happen because of that..

[Diesel]

Where did I say one word about a knee injury? Or make fun of it?

Like the poster, I wanted to know what was going on... and when you want to know.. who do you go to...

Lue's #1 fan..

Agree...obviously we all feel bad for TLue. Injuries s()ck for anybody and hope he comes back strong.

This team as a whole has been lucky though so far.

[exodus]

Very lucky.

This is a key opportunity for Ivey. This is his chance to show he belongs in the NBA long term.

[CrawDaddy]

I just hope Woody doesn't try and have Joe run the point while keeping Ivey and Salim on the bench.

[Wretch]

That's what I'm thinking too. Particularly, I'd like to see what more of what Ivey can do.

Seeing that we play the Pistons, It's a good bet that Chill will see a significant amount of time at the 2, while JJ plays at least 30 minutes at the 1.

At least you Ivey fans may get a chance to see if he can really prove himself as more than a 10 minute a night player. If he can, he may have a future in this league.

If he can't, this may be his last year in the league.

[Nicholasp27]

why would a 2nd year player who plays great defense and has a positive impact on his team for 10mpg be out of the league if he can't show, in his first attempt, that he can be solid for 20+mpg?

there is always a place for a 10mpg backup pg that can play defense and keep the opposing team from going on a run

[exodus]

When Lue missed 4 games with a bad back Ivey still didnt play much. Lue's minutes went mainly to Salim.

[jezmund]

If Andre Miller can play D then that is my choice. Although I know Ben Gordon is talented but I haven't seen much of him since he has been in the NBA. I'll definitely give him a closer look now.

If the Hawks do go after Ben Gordon, then they definitely want JJ to be their PG.

Like someone said earlier, Gordon can always bring the ball up, while JJ takes on the role as the playmaker in the half court offense. For JJ to be successful at the point, he'd need a big time 2-guard beside him. Gordon would provide that, while being the main ball handler up the court.

But I agree with you. Give me Dre Miller any day of the week in an Al deal.

[TnDawg]

While that is true, the situation is different now. Woody seems to be gaining confidence in Ivey, while Salim has been struggling. I hope Woody plays Ivey slightly more than Salim, at least in the beginning.

This may be the extra motivation needed to make BK do a trade, sooner rather than later.
