You can't view things like that.  Just deal with where we are today.

Losing quality talent and replacing them mediocrity is a continuing trend.

This team is way worse than their record suggest, and there is no reason to believe it's going to get better because this team lacks talent in too many places. Budcox has done a terrible job.

I think back up centers and PG's should be more important than adding another wing that can't shoot or score. Those are easy to come by. Something has to be done about the PG spot.

Agreed.

The issue is Atlanta needs a PG but they don't need no more 1 year deals.

Lillard is available. His defense is terrible but with Dennis PPP, him and Splitter can be packaged. Trade him, Tim and Splitter. Lillard is what Atlanta needs. A #1 option on a long contract

How is he a good #1 option?  His team sucks.

True. But. Yeah, he's not all that. But he's a superstar scorer and can shoot.

PJ Tucker that is about right for us. Another player who can't score worth a damn. Any other team would have this guy to sure up their bench for the playoffs we probably see him as a starter. Anybody got BK's number?

Both Pete Babcock and BK are better GM's than Budcox.

They need to be real, our assets outside of like 3 players aren't that good.

Four of the five starters from the 60 win team are gone... You know what Budcox has to show for their exit? A late future first rounder and a first round pick that can't even handle backup duty.

Where the hell is hoopshype based? If it's Bastan I'm walkin...

Two days ahead of the NBA trade deadline and the Hawks continue to be “very busy” exploring possible deals to add to the current roster.

However, the team has been “appropriately aggressive” is trying to add to the roster yet remain in a strong position moving forward.

It means they are satisfied with a team that will likely lose in the first round of the playoffs... or get swept in the 2nd round.

This team isn't a lock to make the playoffs at all. They have a pretty tough 26 games left.

Honestly, the worst part is that they're likely coming back with basically the same team next year. Sap is an idiot if he stays here.

I'm sure the Williams Boys can be had if the price is right.  We'll have to trade with Charlotte for Marvin, but Sheldon is an available free agent (unless he's playing in some foreign country.)  Come and save us with your great genius BK. (Or a couple of Whoppers and some onion rings.)

That's kind of what the Falcons did when they went and got Julio Jones, but I digress.  I really want PG 13.  I mean it has to happen after what happened to the Falcons in the Superbowl?  The lord will bless us with a star for all our suffering!

I part of me just wants to miss the playoffs. Just restart the game. I know that won't happen.

They'll make the  playoffs.  Teams behind us have been  horrible.
