WOW.... Ferry is going to be signing some terrible players now.

Or building a team through drafts like Spurs.

Still plenty of roster spots to fill out, no?

[RWF]

Some just don't want to hear it, but Ferry started this with trading away Joe and Marvin and will continue his build of a NEW Atlanta Hawks. People just want instant results. Well I am glad he is building the team to his vision and hopefully through the draft instead of going into panic mode to sign Monta Ellis and Josh Smith.

But we can't tank; We must compete......

Give Bynum a max 1 year deal.

1. HoopsHype is so hard to follow. I had to sift through 1,000 different Dwight tweets to find anything.

2. MAN. Everyone is getting signed now

3. Lets see what happens now....

The Spurs did build through the draft, but they didn't tank to build through the draft. However, most on this board feel the only way to build through the draft is to tank. The Spurs didn't do that.

He can fill it up with vet mins, or younger players. No need to panic for a Monta Ellis just to stay in the last couple spots of the playoff standings.

How did they get the 1st pick for Duncan, playing an injured star?

People need to lay off the SA stuff though... Without Tim Duncan the SA Spurs ain't crap. And Tim Duncan isn't walking through that door.

It started with Robinson they were horrible and ended up with him. The year they got Duncan, Robinson was injured the entire year so they got Duncan. Tell me how they got all of the other players in the draft? Besides Duncan who else on their roster was a lottery pick?

Why didn't they trade for an All-Star player when D-Rob got hurt? SPURS MUST BE COMPETITIVE; NEVER TANK.

Spurs drafted Tim Duncan. Hawks can draft Jabari Parker or Wiggins and become our franchise player. So you would rather panic and sign Josh Smith or Monta Ellis for a 6th seed or worse this season? Some of you will be very upset.

[Afro]

I dont get the Tim Duncan stuff. We already have a high lottery pick PF on the roster. His name is Horford. If we get Asik all we need is a wing player and a pg(maybe Schröder is it. We will find out)

[coachx]

No one has actually signed anything. They are just verbal agreements over the phone. These guys can still be had if you pay them.

Dude it starts with the franchise pick. Give it time. You all act like Ferry should draft an entire team in one draft. "Besides Duncan who else...." Let us get our Duncan first. Wiggins and Parker are held as the next superstars coming out of high school since Lebron James.

Dude, I'm for tanking... I was just pointing out first that Ferry will have no choice but to sign terrible players.

As for the Spurs... People need to quit trying to pretend that we will be the next Spurs or whatever. We are not.

You are correct no need to panic, but in today's NBA, Parker or Wiggins are more likely to pull a Lebron and bolt than lead ATL to a championship. You can't think getting a top three pick is the fix, it may be, but more likely it isn't.

Josh is gone IMO.

Monta guarantees an 8th-9th seed which is the worse position to be in.

[phoostal]

So everyone in the top 6 picks of this draft from what I hear for all the pro tankers is going to be a hall of famer like Duncan? You guys should run an NBA team if you know all these guys are can't miss. There are other ways to build franchise then just tanking. Just because we get a top 6 pick doesn't mean we are going to get FA's to come here. There is more ways to skin a cat. People think there is only one way. There isn't tanking in some cities they reload. You can get to be a good team through trades and free agency. As long as you get the right assets that fit your team needs going forward. We tried tanking before where did that get us to where we are now. No thanks keep cap space and tradeable assets. But to continuing to lose to find the golden ticket, good luck. I have seen that before and its been the Hawks team I've seen the last few years.
