Guest Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 So the two heavily rumored teams for Sap are the Kings and Nuggets.....now they are both fighting for the 8th seed in the west. If, and only if we are trying to nab their first round pick (hopefully unprotected) who has a tougher schedule and more likely to crumble? Recent history shows they both crumble but I'd give the edge to the Kings in crumbling because they have a crazy guy in Cousins. Lol. If we do a deal with these teams I just want an unprotected or at least top 3 protected 1st round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators macdaddy Posted January 6, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 If we trade Sap then i think we're seeing ownership put their stamp on the team. I don't think Bud brought in all these quality guys to change the culture just to dump them all in the span of 6 months and do a complete rebuild. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member BrazilianHawk Posted January 6, 2017 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Paul is not going anywhere (I hope). His price tag is too high for a possible rent deal. If the Hawks don't want to pay him, so be it. Just let him go and sign someone else. I don't want any crap coming back our way. Yet, I still hope Millsap won't go. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point about that ECF year. We were really close in a couple last playoffs with Thabo starting against them. Lost the last game by a single point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea. Lost Carrol. Lost Horf. Time to get a bit younger. I still dont think this is a compete rebuild though. At least not a "tank" rebuild where the Hawks only reload via the draft.

Spursfanpeacemaker Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 All these trades feels like trading away your family members. It's tough but hopefully Hawks going in the right direction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Moron Bostonian...I hate these fools.. The Hawks are likely aware they wouldn’t be able to pry one of the Brooklyn draft picks away from the Celtics in a deal, but they’d still be looking for a combination of some young talent (think Marcus Smart) and future draft considerations from Boston’s stash.

agentorange90 Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 This news really bummed me out. Milsap was one Hawk that really got me back into Hawks hoops. I have been a Hawks fan since the early 80's and while I don't have the time to watch very many games I still follow closely. From little knowledge it sounds like another Demarre Carroll situation. Demarre was getting older and figured he would cash in and cruise out his NBA career. The team that the city was getting behind and had a lot of players to cheer for is just about completely broken up - Demarre, Kyle, Teague, Horford and now possibly Milsap. It's business and it's pro sports but Budenholzer and the rest of the Hawks management need step up and either re-sign Milsap or put together a deal to get us back to competing for the Eastern conference. More and more it just seems like it sucks that we no longer have Danny Ferry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
