Hawkmoor Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Heard him talking about it on the game a few minutes ago. He said the fit is perfect and that both Dwight and the Hawks NEED each other. He said if he was in the front office, he would be visiting Dwight's family in Atlanta and putting on a " full court press" to woo Dwight to sign with the Hawks. pg Schröder sg Hardaway sf Sap pf Horford c Howard go Hawks!!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Oh brother, Millsap at SF would be a TOTAL disaster for Atlanta. You trade Millsap if you get a "real C" or you don't do this deal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a bad thing? Horford aint taking the Hawks anywhere. In fact, i dont know IF Barkley said the Hawks should keep both Horford and Howard. A more attractive option would be to sign howard, and trade teague, korver and their first to move up to get Hield: pg dennis sg hield sf thabo pf Sap c Howard THAT is potentially a eastern conference title championship squad right there.

HawkItus Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Bird, Jordan, Isiah, KG, Lebron ASG, Pete Babcock, Billy Knight I mean I could go on for days. Barkley is not one of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles is employed by TNT to analyze games and players and that by itself is amazing.

Guest Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 It's funny that his family is probably one of the main reasons he'll never play here so it doesn't matter if the Hawks try to sell them on it or not. Also funny that all the TNT guys do is clown Howard now he's so great that we shld sign him? In reality, we have a system that's diverse enough to get him quality touches but they wouldn't necessarily be back2basket traditional post touches. That'd help him rehab his game but he probably lacks the sophistication to understand that. He'll go somewhere like CHA who'll promise post touches and he'll be wanting out by the All-star break. Incidently, if we sign him (which is clearly doubtful) it'll probably mean trading Sap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Millsap doesn't have the lateral quickness to guard the LeBron's, Paul George's, Wiggins' for a whole season. Him at SF would have the bigs in foul trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the hawks history, you cant go wrong going another direction. You know why i like Larry Bird? Dude is a WINNER. Indiana had a GOOD season, went to the playoffs, but Bird felt they underachieved and bounced their head coach. Thats the philosphy atlanta doesnt have. Its not a win at all cost thing with them. No, larry firing the head coach might not win them a championship, its the MESSAGE he is sending to the whole organization that while he is general manager, coming up short isnt acceptable, unlike some places i know.

Clifford and Ewing are there, assistants when he was in ORL so they would know how to use him plus Courtney Lee is there. I'd keep Big Al if I was CHA though.

What i meant was, is it a bad thing to trade Horford or let Horford go, and keep Howard? I already know all the arguments about why Sap shouldnt play small forward and i see your point. Oh, one more thing. People can clown Barkley's suggestion for bringing Howard to atlanta, but, lets be real, what OTHER "top tier" free agent is gonna even CONSIDER the Hawks? Dwight is the only one on record that has suggested ANY interest in playing for the hawks. Edited May 13, 2016 by Hawkmoor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inept would be the wrong term for a team and franchise that has won over 100 games in two years. We haven't won a championship but we have been going in the right direction the last few years not the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its because said PLAYOFF team wasnt good enough to take it all the way, so they dismantled it and are trying to rebuild from the ground up and build a solid foundation that will compete for championships. The Hawks are the braves of two years ago. Good enough to make the playoffs, not good enough to challenge for championships. As currently built, they wil not. They have been trying since 1970 in atlanta, so yes, anything short of a championship is inept. Thats why Nick Saban is soooo great. Thats the difference between him and Mark Richt. Mark Richt is the Atlanta Hawks. Edited May 13, 2016 by Hawkmoor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
