Long-term Players

[mattlanta]

Who do you guys want to keep in the long run? I've been thinking that we have a lot of trade pieces, and I didn't know who I really wanted to trade or keep. For me, my "core" of players would be:

Acie (won't be elite, but can still be a solid PG if developed properly)

JJ (will improve with a better coach and/or PG)

J-Smoov (great all-around player)

Horford (best young PF in NBA)

and if we can, Chillz is a very good 6th man. I don't really want acie to start because I don't know if he can yet, but if possible, he can play as a role player.

Josh Smith was amazing last night.

Horford is and has the heart of a champion.

Lots of other nice pieces. Just need the PG.

I think they should be making an attempt for Jason Kidd.

Marvin and Sheldon and a No. 1 for Kidd.

Kidd

Johnson

Childress

J. Smith

Horford

Not a bad 5

I don't know if I want to have Horford keep playing center. He seems to get reboudns but has problems scoring on the post. I feel that he would be a perfect PF for us. I also think Josh Smith is the perfect SF for us. While that line up looks good now, it looks like we will have problems down low.

Horford at Center may not be ideal, but he is holding his own and then some. Especially compared to Zaza. I just think a guy like Kidd will make them all so much better. I would think we would be 5 games over .599 instead of where we are now with a player like that.

We have tons of players, we just need somebody who has basketball smarts and knows how to lead a team. Not a scrub cast off pg but a very good one. Could Chris Duhon be that or is he another average pg?

A veteran PG or a post-offense C would be ideal for this team IMO. Veteran PG makes more sense though.

How is Solomon Jones developing by the way? I don't know if that was him in the suit last night, but I don't get to watch a lot of Hawks games up here in CT.
