Ferry's Plan B and C is obvious!

[JTB]

Keep in mind I did this assuming that the hawks dont give out crazy max offers like whats on the Nets roster! (JJ 120m contract, Deron 100m contract, G.W. 40m contract over 4 years) thats damn near the whole team leaving no room for other players who may take a pay cut cause they want to win like Kevin Martin or whoever! The Heat BIG 3 dont even get paid like that! smh @ Billy King

Ferry's Plan A has been long executed!:

-Trade away the teams 2 worst contracts and create cap space! (Done)

-(2nd part of plan A)After getting the cap space needed try to land D12 by trade and by using Josh Smith to recruit him who is one of D12's best friend! (in progress)

Ferry's Plan B if 2nd part of plan A fails of getting D12:

-If Howard cannot be acquired through trade and he IF will still become a free agent go after howard and CP3

-Resign Josh Smith

Ferry's Plan C if Plan B fails and D12 goes to another team and signs an extension:

-Resign Josh Smith or trade for another all star caliber player (Rudy Gay, Iggy, Danny Granger, etc.) right before the trade deadline over the season, so there will be an attractive piece already in place when going after CP3

-Go after CP3 he will definitely be in free agency and do whatever it takes to sign him to the hawks

-If CP3 isnt acquired go after either Ty Lawson, Stephen Curry, Darren Collision, Ricky Rubio to run point guard.

-Because we did not get howard if we are at this point sign either Andrew Bynum (if he doesnt extend his contract), Al Jefferson (young and looking for opportunity to win BIG at this point), or Demarcus Cousins....Emeka Okafor if those players cant be signed.

good thing about some of these BIG men is that none will be a max contract except Bynum and Howard. If we get any other Center we can possibly add Kevin Martin, Tyreke Evans, Trevor Ariza type player to the roster.

So our Starting lineup will be good regardless of Howard or CP3 coming to ATL. It may not be fully Championship caliber (really depends on what star does come) but they will compete at a higher level with more potential to sneak into the ECF.

Our starting lineup can and probably will consist of the following players via free agency:

PG

CP3, Curry, Holiday, Lawson, Collison, or Rubio

SG

Kevin Martin, Harden, K.Thompson, Evans, Iggy, Ellis

SF

J.Smoove, Deng, P.George, Gay, Ariza, T.Gibson

PF

J.Smoove, T.Gibson, D.West, Blair, Millsap, Favors, Odom, and maybe even Blake Griffin he will be a free agent

C

D12, Jefferson, Bynum, Cousins

Looks to me we will either have a BIG 3 or an all star lineup (dont be fooled all these guys wont get a max contract though they produce well on the court!)

Any Comments?

You completely left our best player, al horford, out of our possible players list at the end

There is no way Paul is signing with the Hawks if Howard isn't on the team.

Plan D: Trade Smith for a nice young C to go with Horf.

why would this be a wish list when it is way more a possibility now than it ever was! There is no wish list for the ATL...We expect a great team and I know Ferry will live up to it and give us that great team! This is real! we are able to be REAL competitors for once!

actually you are Right! but like I said in the post trade Smith for an all star caliber player if the D12 attempt fails and if we can get a all star young center or possible all star young center like Demarcus cousins than hell yeah you do it!
