Roster & Training Camp?

Recommended Posts

I am excited (I am cautiously optimistic!) about the Hawks upcoming season and am hoping someone can tell me when the players will be reporting to camp to begin the season. Also, can you please tell me if the Hawks have a full roster or will they be making some additions before or during camp?

Also unrelated, hopefully. Anthony Tolliver, have I ever mentioned that purple and orange is a good look for you?

Veteran big men Louis Amundson & Anthony Tolliver, who held out late in free agency, will end up with big pay cuts.

Amundson, who made $2.4 million last season with Indiana, will sign a one-year minimum deal with Minnesota for $1.07 million.

Tolliver, who made $2.05 million last season with the Timberwolves, said he’ll sign with Atlanta, Phoenix or Minnesota on a one-year minimum deal. That would be worth $915,852.

NBA teams are being very careful in this new economy, especially with the more punitive luxury tax arriving in 2013-14.

Anthony Tolliver is officially an ex-Wolf. Hearing he has an agreement with someone (prob. Suns or Hawks). Announcement soon. #twolves

Let's Go Suns!

^^Everybody we already know, plus Squeaky. No word whether they'll add anyone else (I think there's room for two more?) First practice is Tuesday. Media Day starts Monday afternoon.

ATLANTA, GA ----- The Atlanta Hawks today announced their 2012 training camp roster, which tips off Monday with Media Day activities at 2:45 p.m. on the Philips Arena practice court. With the additions of James Anderson, Keith Benson, Damion James, Carldell “Squeaky” Johnson and Anthony Tolliver, the team currently has an 18-man camp roster.

A former first round draft pick by San Antonio (20th overall in 2010), Anderson played in 77 games (four starts) over two seasons with the Spurs, averaging 3.7 points and 1.3 rebounds in 11.6 minutes per game (.380 FG%, .757 FT%). Benson and James are both former Hawks draft picks, with Benson being taken in the second round (48th overall) of the 2011 NBA Draft prior to being waived on Dec. 23, 2011, and James in the first round (24th overall) in 2010 before his rights were traded to New Jersey on draft night. Benson saw action in three games with Golden State last season, while James has played in 32 career games (16 starts) with the Nets, averaging 4.5 points and 3.7 rebounds in 17.9 minutes per game (.428 FG%, .650 FT%).

In 15 games for New Orleans last year, Johnson put up 1.8 points and 1.5 assists in 7.9 minutes per game (.314 FG%, .333 FT%). A four-year NBA veteran, Tolliver played the last two seasons with Minnesota after previously seeing action with San Antonio, Portland and Golden State. He owns career averages of 6.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 21.5 minutes per game (.420 FG%, .320 3FG%, .770 FT%) in 181 career contests (33 starts).

This roster has redundancy, not enough "Bigs". I look for a move/trade in camp bringing in a 6'10-7 footer as a center. If James and Toliver can make the coaches believers Korver is bait. Otherwise my man Stevenson may be cut. I dont want to see that. I see Lou and Harris being the big difference makers on this team (other than Josh and Al).
