At least we got something for Kirk.

[NJHAWK]

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.

The last thing I want on a team is a guy who can shoot and score points. What good is that?

[MrMeltdown]

This was not for Kirk.

[GameTime]

Josh Smith can't create his own shot? Are we watching the same team?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSQxnw50wAkWhen he isn't chucking jumpers, Josh Smith has a very solid post/faceup game; mostly due to his athleticism and above average handles for the PF positon.

Is it the case that the TPE can only be used on one player? And you couldn't add Horford in a trade with a $5 million TPE to trade for a $17 million salary player for example?If I'm remembering right, this means that now that we have acquired a player with the TPE we could combine Korver's salary with another player in a future deal. Right?

[Bamalawdawg]

Sorry Josh, no more threes for you. Korver, Williams, Morrow, and Jenkins are all among then best. I like to see the idea of stretching the court and having 2 shooters out there no matter the point in the game. No SF and no real means to get one could be a problem though.

[MrMeltdown]

Ferry just said that there is no deal for Korver. WTF?

I think he just means its not official and can't talk about it.

Agreed. C-Webb just said Danny is basically giving the poker face

There is a trade moratorium once a player is traded, but yes once that grace period lapses he can be moved just like any other player.

If at least one player from the Hawks is not represented in the 3 pt. Challenge this All Star game it will be a shame.

The last thing I want on a team already overloaded with perimeter jump shooters is a guy who can't defend, pass, rebound or do anything but shoot from the perimeter. What good is that?

Good thing that doesn't describe Korver, who I'm guessing you haven't watched much since his Philly days.

The people killing this move need to realize Ferry isn't done and this is part of a plan that will hopefully fall into place by the end of the next offseason.

[CTann]

I'm pretty sure that Ferry has one great big master plan and this offseason is only part 1. As said, we really do need a big man. Whether its Dwight or not, we need a center and we need to be able to keep Horford and Josh.My dream plan would be to sign Dwight and CP3 next offseason. CP3-Jenkins-Smoove-Horford-DwightTeague, Lou, Korver, Zaza, Morrow coming off the bench. Maybe Harris if he's still here.

Understand the Salary Cap before you come up with that scenario.

I would trade Hinrich for a whitman's sampler. Ok, that and some used socks

Agreed. Josh has some good inside moves. If he could just stay in the paint OMG!
