Honestly, we need a 3 and D player, we got one and then all of this complaining.  Seriously, be happy we didn't trade for cash considerations.

 

You take people with more upside in the lottery but yea keep telling urself this is a great pick

It is a start, plus we can use Hawks University to the fullest.

Okay then who do you want as a GM/President because I swear that you guys complain a lot about everything  even a decent draft pick that can be our DMC even at higher pick (maybe they have a trade ready for the other pick)

What are your predictions for pick 21?  A projected late 2nd rounder?

I'm sure there is a 24 year old rookie from a Division 3 school somewhere

We choose political correctness over competence. So we deserve to suck. We made our bed, now we have to lie in it.

The pastors in Atlanta could give two shits about how good the Hawks are as long as the "racist" is gone

I'm just surprised we traded for the 12th pick and treated it like it was the 24th. I don't think Prince was that high on anyone's board.

To be fair, Ferry wasn't exactly an ace drafter. Our misuse of the draft goes well beyond the current regime.

Didn't you just call Prince the next Gerald Wallace? That would be tremendous. (not that I agree with the comparison)

When you reach, you have to nail that pick.

It's obvious... The formula is a driving PG, 3pt shooting role player wings and passing bigs that shoot 3's.

Bud will giving Al the max, get some role players to fill the back up roles and will come with Dennis/role player/role player/Sap/Horford next year.

For some reason Bud still clearly believes that Dennis/Sap and Al can lead the Hawks to greener pastures. It will fail.

The Hawks will see another decline in the standings. They will maybe push 42 wins if they remain healthy.

There is nothing more to it than that.

Korver and Carroll getting hurt in the ECF in 2015 and a couple other players being banged up a little is going to be the death knell for this organization. They really think staying true to their philosophy and not adjusting it even just a little will win them a title. Hilarious.

They're fine with being a Spurs type of team that can win the first or 2nd round.

Until the bottom line falls out that's what the Hawks ownsership is content with.

Well pretty much the whole team will be free agents with the exception of the incoming rookies and Al.

It's the same thing we've had for 25 years.... Only with a different wrapper.

I like what we did. We are a consistent playoff team and picked two good wing players that can contribute in different ways right from the start. Prince is a big bodied 3 and D player and Bembry is a athletic slasher with great handles and passing skills.  Both are solid rebounders for their positions and rebounding is the one thing that almost always translates to the NBA. Prince averaged 6 boards a game and Bembry averaged 7.8 boards a game. 

What I love the most is I think with Bembry's handles and passing skills he can give us some quality SG minutes; and they can both be on the floor at the same time.  Korver is getting older; Bazemore is not a great defender when faced up against bigger players. We needed wing help, we got wing help!

I honestly think Bud wanted to move up to get Winslow or Booker last season and he could not get it done. He was not about to miss out on the Wings he likes in this years draft.

We had us a Wingfest tonight; lets try and enjoy it!
