If we are going to trade our players away

[capstone21]

Like Josh or JJ ... it should not be for cap space. That is a HUGE mistake.Atlanta does not attract free agents. We need to trade for players who can contribute or we are back to how we were in the early 90s (13 win team).

This is a myth. Maybe we haven't had any household names sign here, but the notion that free agents will just not sign here is absurd. If we pay them, they will come.

Name 2 significant free agents (other then Deke and JJ ... who really came as a trade) that signed here

With a new GM that is surely focused on winning, players should come. He came from one of the most winning franchises in NBA history so you know that he only has 1 thing in mind. Not saying it will happen, but i wouldnt count it out just like that.

We haven't had the cap space to land major FAs in the past. Most of our major moves were through trades. People are not going to not sign here if we offer them more money than other teams - that is preposterous to even think.

In three years the Hawks will still struggle to land free agents. So what's the change? The only thing that you're hanging onto here is mediocre playoff runs that will end up in a rebuilding process or retooling process in one way or the other.
