MEGA Tank Thread - Post ALL New Tanking Discussion Here

No disrespect, but I believe we owe it to these guys to not burden them with a rebuild that will take longer than their current contracts. Also, we can probably get some good prospects and some future picks for them too.

I would add Korver and Milsaps and sell Philips Arena too. Cheerleaders should go. Harry the Hawk. Total rebuild . . .

You mean like your Al for Diaw/Bonner/Neal swap? Sorry, I just can't let that one go.

Danny chose the anti-tank path the second he signed Sap and K2 - this thread is irrelevant.

That's just it... *if* is the keyword...

DF has made moves that are inconsistent with tanking, but also inconsistent with competing for 2013-14... I think we just have to wait to see what we end up with over the next week or two, and not jump to conclusions.

Can we at least see how this season goes before we start making these threads concerning a complete rebuilding process?

How many freaking "tanking" related threads do we need? Good grief.

HawkSquawk... more like HawkTank

I don't think Ferry is tanking and it is obvious he isn't trying to race to the bottom.

Is there a way to put 'Tank' on my ignore list?

I agree we should trade Lou, he is no PG and a liability on defense at SG. We need to play as much as possible Schröder and Jenkins and Lou will only take minutes out for them and he will not make us a contenders, he also has 5 M$ of cap space, the best we can do is trade him for draft picks.

About Horford it took us 4 unsuccesful drafts to draft a player like Al, we should rebuild around Horford, Teague, Schröder, Jenkins, Bebe, Muscala and tons of cap space, we are just one star wing player on draft and one good FA away of been contenders, we could rebuild in just 2 years so I say try to develop the young players this year as much as possible, go to the lottery, and keep cap flexibility.

Teague/Schröder

Jabari Parker/Korver

Horford/Scott

I don't think Teague is coming back... Also, I think your plan of playing Schröder and Jenkins for 48 minutes a game each is brilliant! And I assume you sent down Millsap to the NBA D-League with that roster which is also brilliant he could develop more there-- maybe you plan on developing him into a SF?

I dont see us trading anyone and lous stock cant be very high right now, but he would be the most tradeable guy right now I guess. Im not saying we should. He is almost a fourth of our scoring threat though.

Exactly. As constructed, this team is nothing. We're not bad enough to be a lottery team and we're not good enough to be a contender. We are the same waste of talent we were last year.

[Diesel]

No.

The longer we hold Lou, the less valuable he becomes.

Horf is different. we can hold on to Horf but I guarantee you, Horf is watching closely and he won't be happy if we don't field a competitive team.

We might as well not even watch the team this year.

Exactly what do you base your guaranteed assertion that Horford is watching to see if Ferry is putting together a competitive team? How would he approach Ferry if he was disheartened by what he feels is a team constructed to tank?

Please do. Smoking a blunt would make you much more palatable :P
