It'll help when we give Collins his close to max money.

Lou Will and Snell off the books....

 Hawks will have about $35 million in spending power under the tax line to re-sign John Collins and fill out the roster.

That trade was to get the non-guaranteed contract of that SG scrub from the Raptors that had a non-guaranteed contract, so that Ferry could waive it. He did it in hopes to hit a homerun in FA but he did not. 

Who was that scrub??? I feel like he played for the Kings and/or Pistons before the cRaps....

Also, anybody know the details of the 2 2nd rounders? I hope they're several years down the line. After Kawhi and PG are old.... could be decent value.

John Salmons I think

So Rondo used us to get paid, and Schlenk used Rondo as a rental(let the young guys pick his brain) until Dunn got healthy...

Unknown, of course, what the cap will be, but if I'm not mistaken the most it can be is ~$115m.

The number below does not include Dunn (mutual option) nor Collins cap hold.

Love it. Schlenk is great at turning signing or lack of signing to 2nd rounders... got 2 by NOT signing Dedmon as a FA. And now turned the Rondo signing into 2nds. 

Keep it up, Travie

Everyone's a user these days.... but I don't do that social media crap. I like that hard shit.

To get the better player/contract and two potential early second rounders for Rondo is one of TS better trades.

Clippers NEEDED Rondo much more than we needed Lou. They were desperate for a PG

Ya we should have gotten more. I’m greedy now.

I thought I remembered him complaining about how the Hawks treated him, and that he did not want to be a part of the Hawks in the future.

It's a completely different front office now. Silly to hold a grudge towards folks that had nothing to do with what happened in the past.

Lou Will certainly gives us a respectable ball handler/shot creator but I pray he never shares the court with Trae. That is a disaster waiting to happen on defense

He'll probably get a few but hopefully not too many. 

[Spud2nique]

Good lord we got shooters now though, most likely the best perimeter shooters in the league.

Trae

Lou

Gallo

Huerter

Bogi

Snell

Can you find a team with 6 better gunners? Wow.

Salmons wasn't that good anymore when we got him, but he was definitely not a scrub

I swear to God I had no recollection whatsoever that Salmons was ever a Hawk.
