We are still "that franchise"!

We are still that franchise that has to overpay to get top level talent. We just need to accept that. The question is who do we overpay? You don't overpay guys like Ariza and Deng because you are not going to get any more out of them because they have reached their peaks. You overpay for guys like Parsons, Bledsoe, Stephenson, and Hayward. Those guys are good and have yet to reach their full potential like Joe was when we signed him from Phoenix.

 

Speaking of JJ, man he would be a perfect fit on this team right now.

 

You all can drink the Danny Ferry Kool-aide and think that he has some kind of grand plan. While we finally have a good coach, our situation is still the same.

 

Now that the big 3 is broken up, Miami has 50+ plus to build a new team. Hell might not be anyone left once they get through.

Haha that's true, but the Nets seem to have made it work. On a scale we could only dream of. Granted the team didn't do anything, but there were a lot of reasons for that.

I'm with you guys on being frustrated with how our offseason has gone so far, but I know for a fact that a lot of the people criticizing Ferry for not making it rain would be the first to crucify him for overpaying 2nd/3rd tier players.

We must be the only broke franchise in the league.  What a damn joke!

Yeah well when you  are one of a few(Like 5) franchises that operated at a loss even with the profit sharing........

Agree totally.   No, hell no to Joe Johnson  Every time they showed Pop in the huddle with the Spurs he'd tell them:  The ball doesn't stick.  JJ would kill Bud's offense

And most importantly... They keep the team flexible. 

Flexible for another 2nd round exit from the playoffs....but man those Hawks pushed (insert team here), they have heart.

lol. Now you guys want Joe Johnson back. 2 years ago y'all were killing him on this site. Some of you guys here, i tell ya.....

 

You guys really would pay 15mil for Parsons? are you kidding me. 13mil for Deng? Are you serious? Do your thing Ferry we have a great team and the east is wide open. We don't need to overpay for anything.
