I thought Joe was gonna recruit players to Atlanta?

[HawkWeisErrr]

Well.... It's not happening.

[NineOhTheRino]

Well.... It's not happening.

Atlanta is not as attractive as Boston or some of the other top-tier teams. Also JJ as not the dynamic personalty that many FA players are attracted to. Anyway it's still early so let's see what happens.

[Chinky_eyed_hawk]

The only players who have verbal commited to teams outside of the names we knew werent coming here(Wade, Bosh, Amare, Boozer) that have commited is Outlaw, and Duhon. Was that who you wanted? Not really sure what the rush is since everyone knows that we are all in a holding pattern until ummmm about 9pm.

Well.... It's not happening.

How do you know JJ hasn't been calling guys and asking them to come to atlanta?Oh that's right you don't know.

Also ,if the rumors are true that we are after Shaq, Maybe JJ called him

[HawkWeisErrr]

I just thought Joe was gonna recruit players to Atlanta. This was announced shortly after his agent announced he was signing the outrageous contract. I did not realize they were talking about players that would have come to Atlanta anyway.

And Shaq will end up in San Antonio...

He never said he'd recruit the good ones! :-)

Besides, that was his agent doing the sugarcoating.

You are acting like because Joe calls you that you are going to come sign in Atlanta

Chicago, the Clipps and NJ have done a great job with their recruiting so far

I am sure he is talking to people ... that does not mean people are going to sign here

[ILOVEmyWIFEtoo]

Ye of little faith.... can't make a mountain out of a mole hill.....

No Cap room for the big guns, so we have to wait and let it all pan out....

BELIEVE!!!!!!!!

Joe has the magical ability and legal know how to circumvent the CBA .

[WraithSentinel]

Magic destroyed any creditably we had built up. Its not that we had much to begin with. All momentum took a big hit with that no show in the Magic series.

In the coming years, I hope Joe Johnson makes like his namesake Earvin, and remembers the Terry Teagle story.

Oh look another troll topic from our resident troll.

[HawkWeisErrr]

So Joe's agent was acting as if Joe has magical powers to ease the pain of the contract? In reality Joe is not a player other players are eager to play with? No one has been mentioned as banging on the Hawks door wanting to play in Atlanta.

[Unforgiven]

wow we officially suck

[ILOVEmyWIFEtoo]

SO NOW WE SUCK? We are still an elite NBA team, Chicago improved, Milwaukee improved and Miami improved..... Cavs will be a lottery team next year, along with New Jersey, New York, and everyone else who dumped salaries....

Just watch, Our bench will finally be properly utilized and a new found energy for the game will comne out of our guys..... They gave up on WOODY.... so a couple of pieces here or there will help....

Can we afford Jermaine Oneal? Would we want him if we don't get ShaqLanta? Would we want Shell head or kurt thomas as a back up PF?

The only recruiting for JJ is to get Chill back in a HAWKS UNIFORM so that we can put Marvin in his place on the Bench....

Seriously, why are you still here? You said you were leaving after JJ signed. You lied, apparently. Your number of - ratings is equal to the number of posts you've made.

Do you have anything to contribute besides trolling about JJ? Anything at all? If so, say it. If not, then at least stop making a new thread every time you think of a new way you want to bash JJ. Just make a big thread called "All the reasons HawkWeisErr hates JJ" and post them all there.

J,O'Neal signed with Boston, so that idea is thrown out the window.
