No, that's the look. @hawksfanatic spends hours making sure his hair looks elegantly disheveled. Gotta keep his hipster cred around the office.

Sorry you have no sense of humor. To me it looked like he had woken up from a nap and didn't have time to style it. Asking a question means I have no humor? I just wanted clarification on what you meant, don't start the whole "back in my day" speech please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff_Man Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 The hot streak continues! In a 30-point blowout, he notched one minute and had 2 points! Game changer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not his fault you can't recognize the greatness of his contribution. If he hadn't played those 2 minutes can you definitively say they wouldn't have won by 30? Boom. Let that sink in.

Lurker Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 ^^^^ More because this team's SG and SF play is almost college bad. Not because of not playing a big center or any of that bull spit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had the sense at least to move on from our poor picks. Tavares will be more useful than Lucas though we got seemingly little for Lucas.

Marcus Eriksson...any good word on that former second rounder? What is the worst about Bebe and Payne for me is that those guys were selected at #15 and #16 overall in the draft (passing over useful talent) and they were so bad that we knew to just throw them out for anything we could get before Bebe ever stepped on the floor for us and before Payne had played 20 minutes for us. How much scouting have you done for you to lose faith in 2 guys with a combined 19 minutes of NBA action? Time has demonstrated that moving on was the right call (although value for Bebe / Lou was low) but man that is some terrible drafting for you to lose faith in them that quickly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People wanna keep saying that letting Noreiga, Payne, etc. go was the right thing to do. Ok, but WHO drafted them? lmao A team like the Hawks, who CLAIM they cant recruit a superstar, BETTER not miss on ANY draft picks.

I suspect that a player is actually drafted in the first round, and that said player chills on the bench all season long outside of garbage time, a different big other than Tiago is acquired (don't ask me who, maybe Jordan Hill), and Carroll still walks. Which means the complaints will be refocused to these instead of complaints about "Even if Hardaway Jr plays, he's only a chucker and plays no defense at all" and "Tiago Splitter sucks at pretty much everything!": WHY is Budenholzer SO allergic to playing rookies? WHY is Jordan Hill not starting with both Al Horford and Paul Millsap? WHY was there no real attempt to get better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is no difference between the way Ferry and Bud approach this because i think there is a mandate to stay outside of the luxury tax from Hawks ownership.

You just don't decide that this year as an owner I will jump into the luxury tax. That happens by having available capspace to begin with to sign other teams free agents while exceeding the cap to resign your own. The previous Hawks ownership had no interest to even exceed the Cap let alone venture into Luxury tax territory. It remains to be seen if New Ownership will have the same stance. If salary is cleared, and Al is sign him using strictly capspace then the mandate is to not exceed the cap at all. So we shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we gave up Noguera (sic) for little. Payne is just a deferred 1st rounder....Probably in the mid-late teens in 2018 would be my guess. If the Wolves can't reach the playoffs by then, god help em. If we get that first, the Payne trade is fine. Bebe was a mistake. Payne was a mistake that *may* have been remedied.

Look at Hardaway from last season. All the proof you need. Whether it's rookies, or young signees (Baze)....it takes time. No issue with Bud there.
