*WHAT IF* we had BOGUT!!!

[cyman3]

starters- Johnson, Childress, Smith, Harrington, Bogut

bench - Stoudamire on the bench.

get some solid ROLE PLAYERS from free agency to add some DEPTH.

would playoffs be a possibility?

Nope! Not enough melanin at the center position!

I think it depends on how we spend the rest of the cash. Would we have been a major player for guys like Redd and Allen? - very doubtful. Would we have added enough depth to make us a playoff team?

I think that starting 5 would be a great one to build on, assuming that Bogut is an elite NBA center, but without depth at every position, we'd still be lottery bound.

Bogut might turn out to be a baller but I would submit if we get Eddie averaging 15 ppg and 7 rpg along with Joe Johnson and an improved JChildress and JSmith the Hawks would be playoff bounp particularly if Marvin Williams and Salim can do their things as rookies,
