Not much tonight from Kwame Brown

[NvHawksFan]

Kwame's line tonight in 32 minutes played

only 2 rebounds

7 points

3 turnovers & 5 fouls

If that's the best Kwame can do at home against a lottery team, then I'm ready to scratch Mr. Brown off our free agent list for good..

[gohawks11]

are we currently interested in him?

No, just Diesel

Kwame is a bust. He has talent, just no heart or desire. All that talent is going to waste. If we go after him, it better be cheap.

kwame brown is terrible

You hit the nail on the head

He's a porkchop that belongs in the NBADL or the euro leagues.

Last night...

Chris Duhon put up 0 points, 3 assists in 26 minutes of play...

he's a rFA this offseason... I guess you don't want him either.

How about Brand and his 7 points, 7 rebounds in 38 minutes last night against the NETS... I guess he's not good either... I mean he's making the MAX!

The point is that everybody has off nights.

I wouldn't judge Kwame because he had an off-night...

Rather. I would see what it would cost.

If he is the cheapest rFA on the market.. Good. I would make a deal for him. He's still 7'0, 270 and YOUNG... There's a lot of teaching that can go on to make him a better player.

Plus, he's a much better defender than anybody we got or anybody we can draft save maybe Frye...Maybe.

Now this is classic Diesel. Notice how he defends Kwame Brown and makes it seem as though he just had an off night eventhought the truth is that Kwame Brown has never performed well. Now look at what he says about Bogut when he think that he had a bad night.

If you would have watched the game (and not the statboard) you would have seen how bad Bogut played..... He was exposed. Shut down.

20/12 means very little when you lose... the way they lost.

UK didn't stop Bogut from getting the ball. There was no double before the ball got to him. In fact, it was man on man most of the time with or without the ball. Where did the Assist go? Where did the great playmaking and making those around him go? RIGHT out the window.

Not just last night. This is his 4th season... He

should be showing improvements and he really hasn;t

done it. He appears to really lack toughness. He

just makes me sick period. Seems like he was just

cashing in on the contract to me. I think I'd almost

rather have Mark Madsen or even Malik Rose if he

didn't have the huge contract.

[Lascar78]

He is averaging 6 and 5. He got 7 and 2. It's not an off night. He was above his scoring average. Kwame is just not good.

[Diesel]

Yeah...

He's averaging 6.5, 5 over 21 mpg... On a team full of scorers.

He's still 7'0 245.

You can't teach size.

If he's the cheapest rFA.. Good. Let's get him. He's got to be better than anybody we have now.

[Lascar78]

my point is this wasn't a particularly bad game for him, which is what you've been saying in this thread.

[Weez]

can you say slightly more stable and worthy player than....yep, you guessed it, hometown favorite leon smith!!!

hooray idaho thunderheads (or whatever the hell team he played on last...)

[chillzatl]

c'mon man, this guy is a CHUMP. You sit there and defend Kwame and suggest that we should sign him because "you can't teach size". But you criticize Bogut, who is better in EVERY FACET , and suggest we might should look elsewhere because "he lacks lateral quickness". I almost pissed myself at the irony...

You can't teach size, you are correct there. Well you can't teach work ethic and pride, Kwame has neither...

[Traceman]

Kwame's qualifying offer is around $7M and I'm sure Washington will offer that. As the #1 overall pick, Bogut will likely make a little less tham $4M next season.

Didn't you say the same thing about Josh Childress??

[chillzatl]

But if you're so interested, why don't you take the time to search through my posts and find out for me? And be fair, if you find out that I did not, take the time to post it.

[chillzatl]

called him a chump. In fact I've never had a bad word to say about Childress. Only that I would have prefered Deng. Especially the way Childress played for the first half of hte season.

[Diesel]

And you said...

I didn't need to see the pre-season to know that we should have taken Deng. RIght now he IS the best rookie out there. If you want to constru that to mean "he should have gone #1". BFD! Take it that way then. As I said, I don't really give a turd sandwich WHO went #1, because we didn't have the #1 pick. My only concern is the Hawks picks. The Hawks should have taken Deng, period.

STop making excuses for the guy having a horrible pre-season and only average summer league (where he should have done VERY well). He was supposed to be a ready player. He's the guy with all the college experience. He was supposed to come in and be able to contribute IMMEDIATELY. He might not be complete. But he damn well was expected to contribute. So far,

he's the biggest bust in the entire draft.

And you don't know that Childress will be anything. You're speculating and hoping all at the same time. I hope he becomes a star. Because I'm a Hawks fan and I support this team. But right now I'd be happy if he were a low quality bench player, which at this point, he isn't even that.

Damn Bilas...

Way to try to spin things...
