Just don't see how he fits a need. A small front line with a lot of defensive liabilities. This is really a recipe for disaster on the court.

For Kirky Kirk? M'kay!Korver will make a fine backup for (insert whoever we sign or trade for at SF).~lw3

[WillBarrow]

Can never have to many shooters!

Awesome, glad that it got done! And that still leaves the Joe TPE open to be used in another deal if we need it. Ferry is sure making the offseason interesting!

Between JJ2, Morrow and Korver, we've got an insane wealth of shooting. Question is: with Joe gone and little post presence to speak of, who's gonna draw the double-teams for the kick out?

I think I have found the first guy I want to kiss. Come Here Danny Boy!

Well, uh, Dwight Howard of course.

Ferry seems as one track minded and obsessed as the GM from Houston IMO. Houston GM was obsessed with getting draft picks while Ferry is obsessed with shooters.

He didn't use the trade exception?

Smoove gonna wind up top ten in blocks AND assists. ;)~lw3

I agree. Teague, Harris, and Williams can break down the defense with the dribble but neither Al or Josh have great post games against good competition. Maybe we are going to become a heavy pick and roll team and run the offense through the guards, then when you start collapsing on them in the lanes they will be expected to kick out to open players.

So am I to understand we get a dead-eye shooter with good size (and who has no problem hitting the wood for loose balls) for virtually nothing? Damn an athlete. Ferry is the Top Dog in Atlanta Sports as it stands today.

Can you imagine the horse games at practice this year?

[frosgrim]

Another solid move by Ferry, esp as a SnT. He's really thinkning through his resources and using them to better the team. My gosh in what a month, Ferry had done more than in the past 3 years combined!

[JTB]

good pickup!

Harris and Teague driving and kicking all day long.

Exactly. It seems as if all the ASG bashing has come to a halt as long as they sit back, shut the hell up, and let Ferry deal.

Yep.........nice to get an asset back for Hinrich in order to preserve the trade exception.

So am I to understand we get a dead-eye shooter with good size (and who has no problem hitting the wood for loose balls first, another skill our team lacked) for virtually nothing? Damn an athlete. Ferry is the Top Dog in Atlanta Sports as it stands today.
