Traceman Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 PHX was offering Barbosa or Diaw and the ASG rejected it. I would have rejected a trade for Diaw too. We would have been better off paying Chillz $9M a season than paying Diaw $9M a season. As for Barbosa, for the same $6M he's going to make this year, I would have rather have had Chillz for the same money too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll never come close to living up to it and they were fooled. Things have to be d@mn near perfect for Diaw for him to look his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traceman Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 According to who? Childress is saying flat out they didn't offer what they said they offered. You are trying to insert the word "initially" into his quote. He didn't say that. Have you heard Chillz' interview? Do you know the context of what he said and what he said it in response to? Do you REALLY think Sund is lying when he said the team offered a deal starting at just above the MLE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packfill Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Wow is all I can say. Woolverton and Brandon just played a cut from a interview Mayhem in the AM will play tomorrow from Josh Chilldress. On the cut they played, Childress said, and I paraphrase, the Hawks didn't offer what they claimed they offer and that he was offered more money AND a starting position from two championship teams. He said the Hawks offered him below the mid level exception . After he turned down this deal, they told him to go look for a deal. Brandon and Woolverton went on to say that the interview revealed that Chilldress felt attacked personally, from a charecter standpoint and that the interview is salicious and candid. My viewpoint? I don't know Sund, Childress, or the ASG personally. However, given the track record of the cheap Spirit group and the perception of Childress's charecter around the league and the media, I'm inclined to side with Childress's take. Keep in mind, this is the same guy the Hawks have given the Jason Collier award to for, I think, two years. He's a good kid and I believe the Spirit got cheap and nasty in negotiations. Being a Hawks fan is hard work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's wait til the interview airs and get some confirmed direct quotes before we start debating this stuff and passing judgment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you REALLY think Sund is lying when he said the team offered a deal starting at just above the MLE? I'll believe Childress before i believe Sund or the ASG. I haven't seen Sund admit that he he offered Childress less than the MLE and then told Childress to go find an offer. If Childress says they didn't offer what they said they did he is clearly calling them liars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomer Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I wonder if any other team's fans are going through as much BS as we are this summer... :Frustrated: Maybe Charlotte and Chicago were, but I bet they're feeling at least a little better now.

Cwell Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) I wonder if any other team's fans are going through as much BS as we are this summer... :Frustrated: Maybe Charlotte and Chicago were, but I bet they're feeling at least a little better now. Chicago just got Derrick Rose so that wouldn't be close and they didn't have a guy leave already. I know Golden State fans feel good. They got Maggette and kept all 3 of their RFA's in Ellis,Biedrens, and the Kelenna whatever guy. Nobody can feel as bad as we do. We resigned one of the worst coaches in the history of sports,yet can't keep two young upcoming players. and had a horrible GM resign and hire another reject.

Premium Member Vol4ever Posted July 30, 2008 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I will hold off judgement until I hear the interview, BUT, if what you say is accurate (not saying it isn't), holy cow. How can anyone support Gearon and company? My support of 30 years is starting to wear thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member hawkman Posted July 30, 2008 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 How can we be so sure Childress is telling the truth? What championship team would let him start? The Spurs? The Celtics wouldn't. Maybe he is just inflating his story to make us look bad. And why haven't we renounced his rights yet? Surprise, surprise. I was waiting for you to chime in. You're getting too pedictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkItus Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Just heard the clip on 790, Chillz says they did offer him the 33 or so mill later in negotiations. So he isn't calling the ASG liars. He says they offered him lower than the Mid-level to begin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
