Its Nights Like These...Where We Need A SF

[jmac54]

Hmmm Jeff Green, Rudy Gay, Gallinari, Luol Deng....take your pick....IF we had any of these guys we would have beaten the Lakers and Now Denver....also maybe even Dallas as well....Dont blame this on all...even though Korver was open, Al had a higher percentage shot and a good look...but the truth is we need a Small Forward to complete this team....regardless of Lou Williams health....and one of those 4 guys would be the answer....I would say either Green, Gay, or Deng....not so much Galinari but anyone other than Carroll or Cartier PLEASEEE ATL....make a move.

[jrok23]

Well this is what I been saying we need a person we can rely on when it is crunch time.

[Duff_Man]

So what this team needs is a guy hoisting up 23 shots a night? Sure.

[Guest]

Since we cannot get any of those guys without giving up MULTIPLE players JUST to make salaries match is a moot point. None of those teams NEED Teague as their PG.

[ATLSmith]

Two words: Kevin Durant.

Five words: I can dream can't I?

[frosgrim]

We need a "closer". A guy whose DNA says take the last shot but also has the skill to make that shot. What position he plays is irrelevant. Get him and surround him with right talent. Gay, Green, Deng, and Gallo aren't that guy. No need to shuffle the deck chairs to get someone who doesn't help us in the long-run.

Who said anything about Teague????When your Boston And your clearly trying to tank ....You Have Jeff Green who is there biggest asset next to Rajon..you want a couple of role players and some picks....AKA look at Brooklyn...the Celtics took Humphries , Gerald Wallace and a bunch of bums plus some picks for Terry, Pierce, Garnett.....Boston would need to stay bad in order to get the number 1 pick....so why would they want Teague??.....especially if Rajon gets traded too...they are on a fire sale right now.....and who said Salaries have to match?....all we need is ASG to open the wallet up and suck it up and pay some luxury tax (if thats needed) even if its just for a season or two....if we wait to draft an SF then it will be to late cause itll take too long for him to develop....plus Milsap and Horford are about to enter the Primes of there careers....this is where there gunna be at the top of there game for the next 4-5 years....we need somebody NOW.....not 4 years from now....and as for hoisting up 23 shots a game....Jeff Green doesnt hoist up 23 shots a game....and if he does every so often its acceptable because hes the best Boston player on the court next to Rajon whos injured and you dont want Rajon shooting the ball because hes not a shooter.....Jeff Green is there best scorer....and Luol Deng i dont think has ever hoisted up 23 shots in a game in his career....he would fit in perfectly since hes an awesome defender and can score as well....im throwing Rudy in here because he is a guy who has hit many game winning shots....which is what we coulda used yesterday....Uhmm....do I need to really look up how many Game Winners Rudy Gay has??.....He can Definitely win you a ball game in the dying seconds....hes only criticized because he plays on the Raptors and has to do pretty much everything.....they run the offense through him and sometimes Derozan.....if he were a Hawk....you could run it through Horf, Milsap, or Rudy.....but when you need that final shot Rudy is definitely your guy hands down

[jmac54]

LOL and Kevin Durant isnt becoming an Atlanta Hawk ever....he will choose the Raptors (since it was his favorite team growing up) over the ATL unfortunately....Nor is Melo.

[DS5]

Any of those players would require us to give up our 1st pick next year

[jmac54]

And im fine with that cause our first pick next year wont be a lottery pick and itll take them a couple of years to develop.

[Duff_Man]

LOL and Kevin Durant isnt becoming an Atlanta Hawk ever....he will choose the Raptors (since it was his favorite team growing up) over the ATL unfortunately....Nor is Melo.

Yeah...he'd choose the Raptors. I mean with their taxes, that's a no-brainer.

[Peoriabird]

Rudy Gay Stinks!

Rudy Gay should never be mentioned for anything. He's just not a smart player but has a ton of talent that will jack 20+ shots every game. I do agree DMC is not starter material nor is Cartier Martin. DMC is a good player if he's your 7th or 8th guy off the bench but his offensive game is just atrocious.

How bout we get Andrew Wiggins as our sf? Would that work for you guys? (SARCASM)

You previously posted about trading Teague for Gay and Lowry, so I assumed you would still be wanting to trade Teague for whatever SF.

WE HAVE TWO SMALL FORWARDS IN KORVER/CARROLL. WE ARE FOOLISHLY STARTING BOTH IN THE STARTING LINEUP. THE ROSTER HAS BEEN MISMANAGED BADLY BY COACH BUD. I UNDERSTAND THAT JENKINS/CUNNINGHAM ARE SMALL BUT ITS NO DIFFERENT IN PLAYING TEAGUE/Schröder/MACK TOGETHER..

[Guest]

Cunningham reminds me of Gerald Green. Athletic as hell but not much else.It's called Basketball people, not run and jump!

[Pimslap]

Pimslap can play the three. Need I remind you what he does in clutch?

Bud should be fired for not giving Pimslap the ball in clutch, and for Pimslap not getting at least 20 FTA's per game.
