Marvin24Williams Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Belli may be the only one who we may find a deal for. Don't see us trading Plumlee unless we attach an asset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sturt Posted June 26, 2017 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Yeah, count me as skeptical that we can take that quote at face value. I always want to err on the side of presuming honesty, so I won't go so far as to say "that didn't happen," but the sniff test says Plumlee's name was mentioned in a call. Mentioned. Not in the context of "how can we pry that guy away from you," but more probably something like, "you took Plumlee, so we thought maybe you'd consider taking Noah too." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it that bad, for a good-shooting stretch 4? We're not signing any real free agents for a couple of years anyway, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLSmith Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 It is going to be difficult to field a competative team from where we sit today so if Schlenk can pull it off I'll be really impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viv later refers to our strategy as retooling. @benhillboy's bald brother also says that he has already fielded calls to trade for Plumlee and Belli. In one fell swoop Schlenk dispelled all of the current notions from the kingdom of hate regarding terrible untradeable contracts and whether we are rebuilding. Sorry to those who've already had their haterade for the day but maybe tomorrow you can try some fresh Georgia peaches instead. http://www.ajc.com/sports/basketball/still-work-hawks-determine-direction-franchise/wFFI12Dulijl5SqmIx3YkI/ Where has he laid the Bodies?? Show me the Bodies. I won't believe that Schlenk has traded Plumlee.. until Plumlee is gone and we have something of value for him or nothing for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sturt Posted June 26, 2017 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I'm lost and confused.... And just when Schlenk had convinced the media that all of Hawk-dom is copacetic. EDIT: Oh good. Page 3. Welcome page 3. So very excited to see page 2 is history. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sturt Posted June 26, 2017 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Watch me try to nudge this thing back on the tracks... When I woke this morning, "Plumlee getting re-dealt for whatever" was well ahead of "dust-up-between-Dolf-and-GrayMule" on my watch-out-this-could-happen-today list. Clever, eh? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimeyKidd Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Well in hopes to not get 'autoblocked' Ill keep it basketball in here. Hawks need to trade plumlee to a team hoping to reach the salary floor during free agency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cho told Schlenk... I can get you M. Plumlee. Schlenk told his assistant and his assistant brought him the stats for Mason Plumlee... So this whole time, Schlenk thought were were getting Mason Plumlee and not Miles. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Popular Post Diesel Posted June 26, 2017 Premium Member Popular Post Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Here's how it went... Schlenk talking to his assistant Schmedley: Schlenk: Schmedley.. for my first action as GM I have to make a big splash and create some flexibility. Schmedley: Yes Sir Boss.. but why do you need Flexibility? Schlenk: You ninny... every team needs flexibility. We don't want to be over the cap when free agents are available. Schmedley: That sounds good but no good free agents ever want to come to Atlanta. Remember what Zaza said about getting players to come here. Schlenk: That was before I was the GM. I'm better than Sund. I'm better than Ferry. I'm better than Knight because I have my computer!! Schmedley: I'm sure that they had computers too! Schlenk: Not like mine. My Apple Macbook Pro has a 4.0 quad core i7 processor . I had it specially equipped by the guys over at numberfire and they have placed every known statistic in the History of the NBA on this MacBook. Schmedley: WOW! Schlenk: That's right... this software correctly predicted the day that Allen Iverson would miss practice! Here... I have been talking to these guys in Charlotte.. Let me call him. Calls Rich Cho. Schlenk: Trader Cho... How the hell are you? Cho: Busy. Getting ready for the draft. Schlenk: Have you considered a Dwight Howard trade. You guys need a rim protector. Cho: I can get you Bellinelli and a 2nd. Schlenk: You're going to have to come a little better than That. I thought you were Trader Cho? Cho: What do you think about me adding M. Plumlee. Schlenk: Hold on. Thought he Placed Cho on Mute. Starts typing on the Macbook Pro. Schlenk to Schmedley: Can you believe this. It says that Mason Plumlee is as good as Dwight is now. If This guy is crazy enough to give us Mason Plumlee, then I will take him and show him who is the real trader here. Schmedley: But Boss... Cho is on the phone. Schlenk: Yeah.. I put him on Mute... the sucker. Schmedley: But You didn't.... Schlenk; (Interrupting): Be quiet Schmedley... I'm about to make History on my first week on the job. Schlenk.. picks the phone back up. Cho is heated. Schlenk: So you say Plumlee, Belli, and a 2nd for Dwight... that's a done deal. Cho: Wait... I can't give you all of that for Dwight. How about Dwight and your first round pick. Schlenk: Well..... Schmedley: Don't do it boss. Schlenk: Quiet Schmedley. I'm thinking. Cho: Ok. Ok.... You're twisting my arm... How about we just swap 2nd rounders... but You're getting the best of this deal. Schlenk: Deal... (to Schmedley): Call Dwight's agent and tell him that he's been traded. Cho: Atlanta has themself one fine GM. You are really good... so I'm sending the paperwork now. Schlenk: I just got it on my Macbook and there... I have signed it electronically. Good doing business with you!!! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
