Hawks supposedly going after RFA Pekovic

[frankthetank966]

They just said on NBA tv ( pre recorded show from earlier tonight maybe? ) that they're shocked that ATL hasn't offered him a big deal after D12 turned us down & forcing Minni to match or let him go to ATL.

maybe ferry is looking t Bynum??

Look at our current roster:PG : ?????????? (we "could" re-sign Teague and/or bring in Dennis)

SG : John Jenkins/Jared Cunningham (no telling when Lou Williams will be ready)

SF: Kyle Korver/DeMarre Carroll

PF: Paul Millsap/Mike Scott

C: Al Horford/Mike Muscala

I wouldn't be worried about offering someone a big contract if it wouldn't make a difference on if we are a contender or not. I would take my time if I'm Ferry as well. Offering Pek a big contract isn't a good move if it is just going to keep us stuck in the middle of the pack. Our Guard position is pretty much non-existent and SF isn't anything to go crazy about either.

I think you have to try to get him, but not at any cost. My max would be about 4@50M structured heavy early. It's big, but the third and fourth years would be very nice. Minny has cap issues if they plan on keeping Love.

What is the max that Pekovic van be offered ? He has less years in the league then Dwight..........meaning Pekovic's max is less.

So are we going after Pek or is this bullsh*t? Somebody answer me that. I'd be ecstatic if we did.

Rumors are rumors. I'm sure there will be a move in the next 24-28 hours now that Josh is gone. Ferry was most likely trying to SnT Josh.

Everything is a rumor from Pek to Ellis to Teague to the rookies playing this year or next. Have a beer or at this pace 12 and wait for confirmation from the Hawks.

Pretty sure his max is $13M roughly
