Never thought about 3 point plays.

[Johnnybravo4]

It was funny though when he says that we don't think that they play the same positions...and then says

Harrington is a 3/4

Marvin is a 3/4

Smoove is a 3/4

Childress 2/3

Hilarious.

[jezmund]

He was definitely worried about Minnesota or Boston taking Shelden I think. That is a fair concern if Shelden was our guy. Teams weren't giving up much to move up in this draft. We wouldn't have gotten much to take the risk of not getting our guy. BK made the right choice in not trading down.

[chillzatl]

is why take on guaranteed salary for a guy that you don't really want or anticipate playing. So while everyone is moaning and groaining and bitching that he could have traded dwon and picked up a marginal bench player, they don't take into consideration that he didnt' want to be stuck paying a guy that we weren't likely to play much.

[Lascar78]

Agreed. In all fairness, Harrington will be gone.

JJ 2

Chill 2/3

Marvin 3/4

Smith 3/4

Shelden 4/5

Zaza 5

6 guys for 4 positions isn't too bad. That's an average of 32 minutes each. (before scrubs)

[Lascar78]

I'm fine with that as long as he finds us a PG this summer. Otherwise I would have liked Head, or Diaz/Dee Brown

[Yeti]

Did anyone ask about Andersen?

[Diesel]

he says it's really unfair because Woody can only coach the players we put here...

He establish defense is important.

Dimino is cracking BK about Woody's relationship with Stoudamire.

Dimino is cracking BK about Woody's urgency.

BK Defends.

Mentioning that there have been some "uneven moments" with Josh Smith and Stoudamire.

BK alludes to Salim being a good kid...

[Diesel]

Royal Ivey/Johnson

or

Chris Paul/Brandon Roy.

That was a dumb as question.

[chillzatl]

[Diesel]

Leak is on BK's ass.

How long should we wait on Marvin.

BK: As long as we can.

[skyhawk]

By no means am I advocating him as a PG but does he have skills that would/could complement JJ? I've not seen him play so I can't really comment. His draft evalution did indicate that he has good handles, vision and passing skills. Any thoughts on what he can realistically bring to the table??

Most of the other trade downs didn't involve marginal bench players, though. Somone like Luther Head is more than a marginal bench player - although it is not at all clear that Head was on the table.

And if you run, that's about the limit of endurance.

[HawksFan87]

I feel better about this team now, So what Guard do you guys think we are going after because none of the PG's mentioned are versatile.

[Diesel]

Quote of the day:

Bk: "Billy Knight doesn't do that kind of stuff!"

You got to love it!

[chillzatl]

that's the point, nobody knows what was available to him. But everyone thinks we should have traded down and taken "anything" simply because they think we could have. That's the flawed logic we're dealing with here.

[Lascar78]

QUOTE OF THE DAY!!

"A parade down peachtree in 2007?"

BK: "I'm sure somebody will have a parade on peachree in 2007..."

[Diesel]

BK says Zaza played too many minutes.

[Lascar78]

I wonder if KB is somewhere crying because BK keeps saying that fans have every right to be impatient, frustrated, critical, etc...

[HawksFan87]

Cato sucks, We also better be getting a Guard. Mo Williams and Gadzuric from the Bucks?
