NiqueDaLegend Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Gordon Hayward would have been more useful!! Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk I read that Jazz will match any offer for him unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goots Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Oh yeah he was coming off of injury. So you're upset that we gave 1 more year to a guy who played big minutes for the 2nd best team in the West than what was given to a guy playing at the local park last season? I mean you really, honestly think that we couldn't trade him any time we wanted after seeing the JJ and Marvin trades? Listen don't keep bringing Gordon up here and using him as an example to say this trade was good ok. Gordon is a bum as well. Let's be clear. Have you ever seen Thabo play? You act like because he was on a good team starting and playing 25min a game he is automatically good. Well I've seen him play a lot since coming into the league and he is mediocre at best. He is one dimensional to a tee with ZERO offense. Yeah he can occasionally hit a wide open 3 like most players but he does nothing else well on offense. His defense is declining as well which is why the Thunder benched him and had no interest in resigning him. Those are facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted July 3, 2014 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) Go look up C-Vivs Twitter and come back to me. Then maybe, maybe, you'll understand why we needed a guy who could shoot the 3 and play D. I'll wait. Are you saying that we didn't have that in DMC? <PRE> Rk Player Season Age G GS MP FG FGA FG% 3P 3PA 3P% 2P 2PA 2P% FT FTA FT% ORB DRB TRB AST STL BLK TOV PF PTS 1 DeMarre Carroll 2013-14 27 73 73 32.1 4.1 8.8 .470 1.3 3.7 .362 2.8 5.1 .548 1.5 1.9 .773 1.5 4.1 5.5 1.8 1.5 0.3 1.1 2.6 11.1 2 Thabo Sefolosha 2013-14 29 61 61 26.0 2.3 5.6 .415 0.8 2.5 .316 1.5 3.1 .495 0.9 1.1 .768 0.8 2.8 3.6 1.5 1.3 0.3 0.9 1.5 6.3 </PRE> Edited July 3, 2014 by Diesel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 It's probably been mentioned four or five times already (too lazy to scroll the whole thread), but it's a hard-T "Thabo", like "Tae-Bo," right? I wanna reserve my "Th" phonetics for when I really need 'em... er, them. EDIT: Never mind! PronounceThatAthlete's got my back.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtL1C0VlTIY ~lw3 I feel you creeping, I can see it from my shadow Wanna jump up in my Lamborghini Gallardo Maybe go to my place and just kick it like TaeBo And possibly bend you over look back and watch me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Thabo isn't half the player Deng is, let's be real for a minute, I'd rather spend the extra money on someone who is actually good then someone who is good at one thing (defense) and mediocre at the rest Haha you guys kill me. Deng has TWICE as many minutes played in his career than Thabo and somehow Thabo is at the end of his career and can't get better and he's old and done and ONE sub-par season. Yet Deng's shooting goes down for TWO straight years, he's got a wrist that requires surgery and he wants at least three times as much money as Thabo and some of y'all think Deng would be a better signing. #hawksfansbetrippin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PSSSHHHRRR87 Posted July 3, 2014 Moderators Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I seriously don't understand why fans hate this signing. Lou wasn't the same after the ACL injury, is undersized, plays zero defense, and was getting paid over $5 mil to waste away on the bench. Thabo is 6'7", has a good track record on not being injured, plays excellent defense, hits 3pters, and is only getting paid $4 mil. You guys act like he'll start over KK or something. SMDH. Hawks fans never happy. IFWT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUhawksfan Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS BUM IS NOT WORTH A 3YR/12MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT. HE IS WORTH THE VET MIN AT BEST AT THIS STAGE OF HIS CAREER. THAT IS MY PROBLEM WITH THIS SIGNING. WE JUST BLEW 4mil of our cap space on a back up at best. You lost me at ALL CAPS. You'll find it at the left side of your keyboard, just touch it once to turn it off. Then I'll take you seriously. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm feeling pretty good that this guy has found a way to get open to make 325 threes in his career. I wonder how he gets so wide open? The Hawks needed a guy who can hit a 3 from the SG spot if Korver is out. They needed a guy who can play oustanding D at SF if DMC is out. Check and check. We were something like 1-19 last year when one or both of those guys were out. Something like that any way, according to what C-Viv posted earlier.

DJlaysitup Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 He will have better chances to launch them since he dont have ISO Power team of KD and Russ the Wonder Dog(I was going to say M U T T) Yep and as much as many of us were hoping for a "get your own shot" shooter - to be fair - Bud's system is all about getting open shots for shooters anyway. So if the system works, paying more for a guy who can get his own shot would technically be a waste of money - like putting a mechanic on retainer and then buying a Honda. . As for Dolfan's concern about my occasional negativity - I will admit I am sometimes - I didn't really like the Bebe pick - figured he was a bean pole who would likely never put on enough weight to be a force for us. (of course - to be fair - I was a big fan of the Shelden pick "the Landlord") My guess is this pick works out pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to forget that Thabo fell out of the rotation of the Thunder who don't even have a good bench, and you talk about declining but you forget to mention his awful 2014 shooting. For someone who was trashing the Hawks trading BeBe cuz we weren't gonna do anything special with it, if you think Thabo is special or worth that move, IDK what to even say to you then.
