The rejected deal

[JohnnyCASH]

MySportsLegion: Hawks rejected a deal from Milwaukee that included Ekpe Udoh, Mbah-Moute Udrih and a 1stround pick for Josh Smith. Wow crap of a deal

Why didn't we jump all over that? Beats losing him for nothing!

[DeacKillsaDevil]

Tells you what the market for Josh is

[Watchman]

Aw man. We coulda had the double Uds?

[phoostal]

standing ovation to Ferry for rejecting that garbage

[ag82]

I can't pronounce any of those names anyways.

[GameTime]

And a protected pick? Props to Ferry

[Plainview1981]

I'm glad he rejected that. You accept trash like that and every team will expect you to accept trash like that every year.

[Dejay]

^{If that was the proposed deal, I shudder to think of what they'll be offered this summer in a SNT...}

[HorfordTheBeast]

Good thing he rejected getting SOMETHING. Now we'll get NOTHING and like it (apparently).

[NineOhTheRino]

So it's better to pass up 2 players and a 1st for nothing? I would have taken the 1st alone.

[AHF]

Agreed that we should be happy with Ferry for refusing that steaming pile.

How do we know Josh will play nice?

[phoostal]

Didn't know a protected lottery pick is special? We already have two of those this year in a crap draft. The other players are bench players that are average at best. Rather let him walk and keep the cap space.

And still expect other gm's to take you seriously when they know you will fold if offered the weakest deal possible?

[MaceCase]

Danny looked well rested on NBATV.......that or we also have a makeup department.

The first alone would be far more valuable than that package.

Udoh is due 4.7M next season and Mbah is owed 9M after this year (4.5M each of the next two seasons)

Who cares if he plays nice. If he walks we keep the flexibility of the cap space. If we don't get a sign and trade we like let him walk again.

[HorfordTheBeast]

Oh, so we're more about appearances now than actually receiving compensation for a player?

We're letting a player walk for nothing, when we could have gotten 2 players and a 1st round pick.

Seems the 1st was a cherry for taking the bad contracts.
