The Cavs pick is in 2019 and top 10 protected, which looks better by the day as Lebron looks more likely to leave. Just gotta hope Kyrie can carry them lol. My mistake on the picks. But we'll see if Lebron is still there or not. I think he'll still be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deester11 Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 So Sap saying he wanted to stay was just for the remainder of the season. So he and Bud talked before the All-star break and Bud said, "we're not trading you,". The end result is the same as Alice wanting to remain a Hawk. He bolted. Bud set this team back with thinking we'd do more than exit after the first round. I support this team for life but I fully expect this nonsense to be going on for another 30 years.

KB21 Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Also, for those of you that wanted to tank or rebuild, I don't want to see a flipping one of you complain when things aren't progressing as quickly as you believed it would!! When we are on years 5 and 6 in this rebuild, you keep your damn mouths shut. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did start walking their language back on Sap to the point where it was obvious that he wasn't coming back. I don't think the NBA wants teams openly saying they are rebuilding anymore though. That's why they forced Hinkie out, it's bad for league revenue if everybody starts trying to lose on purpose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleachkit Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 I thought we weren't rebuilding? Schlenk just makes himself look foolish with the "we are not rebuilding" BS. I hope he is not one of those BS type guys, that's turn off to fans and players. But This is a total tear down, and Bazemore better gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly! Don't piss on my leg and tell me it is raining. Don't sit there and say you aren't doing what the 76ers did and then proceed to do it. Don't talk about gaining flexibility and signing good deals when your best player just signed a very good and tradeable deal with another team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't like the nfl where you can just tank and get #1 picks... this so called "rebuild" is going to backfire. I say it's gonna take at least 5 seasons before hawks even reach the playoffs again. By that time, hopefully the team is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means for Teague, Korver, Caroll, Sap and Horford they got a one f***in' role player in Prince? There isn't a bigger joke of a franchise than this one. They make me sick. Bud is a disgrace as GM. He could have at least called Danny Ferry and asked what he should do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on how good Schlenk is at evaluating talent and anticipating league trends + Bud putting them in the right spots to succeed. Could be the Magic (squandered the entire Dwight trade haul) or the Blazers (back on their feet after one year.. although I hope we don't go crazy with overpaying role players).

The Hawks are stuck in Atlanta for 30 years since the city is paying for the stadium renovations. I'm hyped for the rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
