Holy Crap Is He Clueless

[sinctybldh]

Dan Patrick asks him about a pg and he starts saying points is not a need for the Hawks since they scored 97 a game. We have an idiot for a GM! I am just absolutely beside myself because he doesn't even think we need someone to run the team! Get this clown out of here!

[vdunkndunk]

If you can't understand what he's saying then you're the stupid one. He was saying we need interior defense more than we need offense. And he's right about that. Just look at the stats.

[Plainview1981]

Being middle of the pack in terms of offense isn't something to be proud of. It's not some kind of accomplishment you know.

This guy is awful he is worse than Pete Babcock. Yes, Pete Babcock left badly..... But how many 50 win seasons do you think Billy is going to give the Hawks?

truly shocking.

BK is a moronic fool. To think we don't need a PG is idiotic. Just because you score a certain amount of points does not make you a good team. Check the standings. We could have moved up to take M. Williams, Rondo, or taken Daniel Gibson at 33. BK is a faggot.

[sinctybldh]

No your an idiot. Dan Patrick asked him if he was tempted to trade up for one of the pgs and he flat out said that points is not an issue with the team as we score 97 per game.

I don't care how much you support BK..I usually do...but this is as inept as they come! And to draft another forward...someone tell me the plan on that one? Please?

[deester11]

sinc...I have to agree with you on this one. Call me crazy....BK is stupid!

[sinctybldh]

The sad thing is I supported this guy before this draft and I just cannot believe this disaster. Dan Patrick asks him did you have a promise with Shelden and then BK is smiling and says no we didn't have a promise. Hello? The smiling kind of gave it away and now your sitting there lying to your fan base? My god this guy is unbelievable.

He said that scoring wasnt AS MUCH of an issue for us as stopping the other team from scoring. Basically he said that he wasnt impressed with any of the PGs and felt that Shelden will help us improve our interior defense and our rebounding.

[sinctybldh]

he did not say anything about not being impressed with the other points. I just TIVOD it and watched it again. He could have traded for one of those points if he wanted to but he said he did not feel it was an IMMEDIATE NEED!

[CrawDaddy]

We don't need a PG. The plan is to no give PHX our pick next year and be back in the top 3 so that we can all be back here again complaining about the draft.

[TheDude]

i don't like the solomon jones pick...i'm fine with shelden though....but i would have liked to take a gander at dee brown in the second.

not sure what we accomplsh with solomon jones...we have solomon in josh smith (but waaay better)...

to me jones is just an atheletic player...i think we have enough of those....

[Admin]

I didnt say that he said he wasnt impressed with them, I said he basically said that ... when he went "ummm, some of the PGs we liked, yeah we did, we just felt that was more of an immediate need (interior D and rebounding) for us." That is what he was saying, trying to be polite and not say that he wasnt impressed with them. I am watching the replay of it right now, would you care to dispute my quote about what he said?

[vdunkndunk]

It's not like he said "We'll never ever get a guard...NEVER! HA HA HA!!!"

We only had one first round pick, we can't fill every need at the same time. And I just can't agree with the idea that a rookie PG would have helped us more than Shelden Williams. And none of the "pure" PG's that we apparently need so badly even went in the lottery, so why should we have picked them at 5?

Like I said, drafting a gaurd won't bring back Chris Paul. And we need some interior strength, toughness, rebounding, and shotblocking, so Shelden seems to make sense to me.

I'm I the only one here who thinks we need some interior defense and rebounding and strength?

No, and we need to be more vocal. I'm tired of the whiners ruining this site.

If you don't like this team, follow the Magic or Bobcats.

The problem is that of the guys he listed:

Bobby Jackson-Old and sucks. Just check his FG% and low assist numbers for proof of that.

Speedy Claxton-Need a starter and not an 18MPG backup. That's what Lue is for.

Cassell-He's too old to play big minutes anymore and he's possibly the worst defensive player in the ENTIRE league.

Mike James-He's a guy that scored alot only because he played on a bad team. Anything other team he's a 10PPG player at best and is selfish on top of that.

Dude this is your quote

[TexasPete]

There are actually clowns on this board that think Shelden will make a big difference inside. HELLO??? Is that why all the other teams ahead of the Hawks ignored him? He wasn't even on top 5 radar.

BTW, the Suns just gave away Rondo...where was Billy?

I think that's a fair analysis. I would rather try to grab a PG in a S&T with Al.

I still like what Duhon offers, but waiting until August is risky.

[sinctybldh]

exactly. Some of these fans have their rose colored glasses on and BK can do no wrong. I loved the Marvin Williams pick last year but I did not care for what we did this year and I have the right to express my unhappiness about it.
