Many could have through less homicidal means; Korver was first traded to Atlanta by Chicago for cash and later re-signed on a very reasonable four-year, $24 million deal. Credit the Hawks for both signing Korver to that kind of salary and playing in a way that proved his value beyond doubt. Al Horford, Hawks: One year, $12 million Once more, with feeling: Al Horford is a superstar. The benefits of that stardom might manifest differently from those who trade in bulk scoring, but the flexibility Horford affords is, on balance, no less valuable. Jeff Teague, Hawks: Two years, $16 million In 2013, the Bucks signed Teague (then a restricted free agent) to an offer sheet they thought might make the Hawks blink. Atlanta shrugged and matched without much hesitation, committing to pick up four years of flat $8 million salary to an up-and-coming guard. It’s worked out quite well. Teague is still miles removed from the point guard elite, though his salary is so accommodating that his relative standing hardly matters. Limitations can be accounted for when a player is on a contract like this one. Atlanta, too, gets the added benefit of seeing where Teague’s career takes him as his game settles. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volman Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 And we freaking pushed the guy out of his position. Still unbelievable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bird_dirt Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 You know who is noticeably not on that list? Splitter. That can only mean that we just traded for a dude that unquestionably has one of the 417 worst contracts in the NBA. #ThanksObama 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaceCase Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Korver and Teague's deals were questioned by many. This board absolutely killed them. Or maybe it might have been the same two people repeating theirselves 1,000 times, that tends to happen a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 This board absolutely killed them. Or maybe it might have been the same two people repeating theirselves 1,000 times, that tends to happen a lot.One of my favs:Just laughing out loud at everyone on this board who thinks giving a 32 year old defensive liability who can't handle the basket ball in traffic $6 million a year is a good idea but resigning Josh at $12 million a year is suicide. I wonder if some of you just got locked out of games of 21 as kids because all you could do is shoot and have a soft spot for one trick ponies.P good analysis. Loved his thoughts on how much the team would miss Smoove as well. {/sarcasm} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJlaysitup Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Splitter's contract is fine - if he stays healthy and gives us what we hope for. The Centers in the E.C. have not been our big problem and he should help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member mrhonline Posted July 14, 2015 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Not looking forward to the deal Horford will be getting next offseason, but he has been a huge bargain on his current deal. (If my napkin math is right, I think other teams will offer him four-year deals in the region of ~$120m). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find a way to get Vucevic in this muthaf&@ka for the next 3-4 years at 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benhillboy Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Vucevic at $12M/year? Not happening!I'm ignorant on these things, but that's his current contract through 18-19 with Orlando. With these awful TV deals, he's gonna have the best value contract in the league 2 or 3 years running. 19 and 11 at age 24? Forget about it. Their GM hit a walk off grand slam with that one. I just want Conley, Vucevic, and Paul George in Hawks uniforms. Too much? Edited July 15, 2015 by benhillboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bird_dirt Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Vucevic's offense will be a waste until he can figure out a way to play defense. You want defense, too? Better tack on another 8 - 10 million to that contract, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Atlantaholic Posted July 15, 2015 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Vucevics numbers have not translated to wins. Horford may not put up the same raw numbers but his value is greater overall, especially on the defensive end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
