Trade Deadline Rumors

[NekiEcko]

This is the time for our young players to step up

THJ, Muscala, Edy need to step up and take it

For this team, who has a lot of issues that only got one 2nd round pick that means that the coaching staff has faith in these players, now they need to step up and take care of business.

If the Hawks tried, got to give them credit.  It takes two sides to make a deal and you can't take garbage for your better players.  You just can't.

Get ready for Orlando, Boston and others to offer Horford the max in free agency.  Not sure he'll be interested in them, but they certainly could become his leverage to get a five year max deal out of Atlanta.

I agree but it is a little tiring at times. It seems like the only moves the Hawks seem to be able to pull off are those that save them $$$. There are 2 things I've learned when it comes to the Hawks:

1. There's absolutely no reason to get excited over the Draft. It always ends in frustration.

2. There's absolutely no reason to get excited over "blockbuster" trade rumors if the Hawks are involved in any way.

Anyone know what year our new 2nd round pick will be in? Think we already have 2 this year, toss in another and we be rolling in dueces!

The Hawks are already rolling in dueces.  Half the team is 2nd round picks.

You never know, they could make a draft day deal packaging those picks to move up to that coveted 31st pick.

more second round picks to either hide overseas or pay cheaply to save the new A$G money.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss....

I don't like that Mack move. That could be a sign for keeping Jeff and Dennis next season... How will you give Dennis minutes to grow when you have a potential All-Star starting and playing them together doesn't seem to work. For me it looks like Hawks will lose Jeff in FA or sink a lot of money and Dennis may walk away because he doesn't feel valued. Worst case, both will sign elsewhere after next season.

Two of those three players are scrubs and the coach isn't going to play the other guy this year. So that is that.

I'm happy that Horford remains a Hawk but I'm not happy about watching Moose get playoffs minutes.   That's just putting our head in the sand.  

He stepped up big time in the playoffs last yr.  If anything this gives him a chance to get into the rotation and rhythm heading into the playoffs.

Just gotta hope we don't run into a drummond or brook Lopez type of big.

They have to be looking towards signing a buyout/waived vet or two. No way Bud thinks that this team is not good enough to return to ECF and does nothing.

We can find a backup PG easy enough.  How many PGs trying to be moved right now?  Jennings, Calderon, Rubio, Lawson, Beverly, Hill

I ain't even mad. Muscala is going to step up. Can't take anymore front court injuries though.

 

How is he going to step up when he doesn't have talent?

We'll probably trade our first round pick for to the Spurs for an autographed Duncan jersey.  That way we can save money and Coach  Bud can help out Pop for the 2nd straight summer. Everybody is happy...

Just dumb. 2nd round picks are mostly worthless. Especially when Bud is doing the drafting.
