[StateHawks46]

We sold his right to OKC.

This sucks!

[bumpyphish1]

Un-frick-in believable....

Right after ESPN just explained how valuable 2nd rounders are.

I HATE OUR OWNERSHIP

[Chaze]

i hearddd them sayy that but for how much monneyyyy or wat playerr or pickkkkkk huhhh

[NJHAWK]

Yup. I rather have money than that guy though. I thought we would get a project big with Craw, let the Hawks be the Hawks.

[StateHawks46]

Well now we have to take to wait till 53 picks......there go our chance at a decent Big. Dang it.

Here, here. They'd rather get some money instead of paying a cheap fee to develop a big guy.

[bonethugz]

it's sad........

[DrReality]

If the rumor is true that we are gonna trade Chill for McKay?? that may answer the issue of our big?

[StateHawks46]

Where is the rumor of us getting McGee come from? If we do get McGee than that is great.

Pollack and Bell on 790 the zone talked about it today on the drive home. They stated it was more than just a rumor.

It's coming from wishful thinking on the part of Hawks fans. It's a rumor based on a rumor started via a translated article.

Exactly. It is a pipedream.

This is such a terrible financial decision let alone demoralizing to the fan base. Just a terrible way to ruin what was setting up to be a great night.

You know it's a bad move when AHF is demoralized and not being optimistic.

[StateHawks46]

Can McGee start? We need a big to move Horford to the 4/

Exactly. How many of those translated articles over the years said David Anderson signed to play with the Hawks. lol

They hype us up pretty good there. I thought ASG wasn't that cheap but they sure are not caring about winning or they believe Zaza could be better next year. :help wanted:

[Guest]

Anyone want to defend the ASG as cheap anymore?

[Joker]

Even if we get McGee, if CP3 is in Orlando, Wade and Bosh in Miami, we will never win s***.

It is just pissing on the fan base to sell picks. And when has it ever worked out? Sarver is the king of this move and it has cost him so much more money because he passed up on cheap young talent and had to sign piss-poor veterans to compensate. It cost him both money and wins. And this is our new model. Fantastic.

Why own an NBA team if you aren't even willing to pay for your draft picks? This isn't MLB where some prospects cost a bundle. This is signing someone who is as cheap as any vet you can sign with a ton more upside than a Jason Collins or Joe Smith...just to name a couple of vets this team was willing to pay for.

Nothing good about it.
