The icing on the cake is drafting JJJ, that will solidify this organization as the worst in professional sports history

Watch the Hawks get the #1 pick against all odds, and proceed to draft JJJ

Got more for Adrien Payne than we did for 3 all stars and a coach of the year. 

Winning. 

Woah!.....I did not even think about that.....this franchise is beyond embarrassing!

Who was the GM during that time? Hmmm

Systematically dismantaling the franchise!

Nope.  Bud isn't the one that tanked this team out.  That was Ressler and Schlenk.  I'll be glad when Schlenk is gone.

Me thinks 95% of the board owes you a huge apology. Consider this my KB21 told you so to the board.

Now I have to come up with an avatar for sturt, and I was hoping I wouldn't have to.

I think it is safe to say Schlenk isn't a good negotiater.  Hopefully his eye for talent in the draft is better.

He's not a good GM, period.

Way too early to say this.

Pissed. At least it keeps us fans occupied on this board a bit more until the lottery and draft are here.

For the record, this team wasn’t the same after Ferry was ousted. Also, losing Quinn Synder really exposed Buds ability to develop guys.  

Buds coaching prowess was limited to Kyle Korver making his shots. If that wasn’t happening, this team was mediocre on offense.

Again, nobody likes to talk about that when it comes to Bud. His teams couldn’t score  unless the 3ball was falling.

All of this was true BEFORE we went in to tank mode.

Bud wasn’t as good as the hype, and was very average after the 60 win season.

Kent Bazemore was the worst thing that could have happened to Bud

Yep.  Predictable.  Bud's leaving, so lets come up with some bullshit criticism of him to make him appear like he wasn't really that good.  People are fooling themselves if they truly think Snyder was behind the player development.  Snyder wasn't even on the 60 win team staff.  Ben Sullivan has had much more to do with development, particularly shooting development, than Snyder had.

All hope isn't lost yet... I did insert that SAS caveat, and I actually really and truly stand by my assertion that there's no reason to think Pops will or won't continue. It's at least more plausible these days than ever before that he'll decide this is the right time to do something else (... political office???).

We'll see.

Yeah, because he was so right about Bud going to the Suns and improving their record by 20 wins in a single season. About as right as he was about the 76-ers not making the playoffs. Wait, not winning 50 games. Wait, getting swept out of the 1st round. As he says, we’re just mad because he’s always right. I’m actually the one who said Bud might leave for the bright lights and big star of NYC, or home to San Antonio. But not Phoenix or Milwaukee.

No. You are a liar.  You are the one who said Bud was 100% on board with the stupid tank job the Hawks were doing, and you said there was no way Bud would leave.  I said before the season ever started that Bud would leave.  Don't try to twist things into making me look bad when I told you from the beginning that the tank would cost the team it's best asset - Mike Budenholzer.

[terrell]

Oh well....See ya...Cant wait to play you next year in NY or Milwaukee....Go Hawks

I did say “Bud ain’t going nowhere” on the Milwaukee rumor. But did say he would consider NY or San Antonio. You’re slinging that liar horse$hit around rather carelessly, my dude. Speaking of slinging, I may just start slinging random $hit against the wall then when about 3 out of 10 stick claim to always be right.
