Yeah, I wish the Hawks weren't stupid.
I wish I cared. I just can't get into nba basketball anymore
Pretty much sums it up for me, too.Quote:

Kris Dunn #5 Timberwolves
Buddy Hield #6 Pelicans
me too. What are your opinions on things so far this off season? What are your hopes?Quote:

I don't think Bud is a good personnel guy. We have dumped both our last two 1st round picks and seem prepared to do it again this year...all so that we can tread water as a decent Eastern Conference team.Quote:

Marquese Chriss #8 Kings just traded to Suns
I'm with you. I understand moving Teague but was hoping for a trade of some sort. Get the 12th pick, only to trade in order to make Horford affordable. You can't keep PM and AH at the 4 & 5 and ever hope to do anything. KK took a step back this past year and is getting old, Bazemore did make more of a name for himself this year and brings athleticism to the team. We need a rim protector and rebounder. Need to trade Horford and get a legit 3 and could play Baze at the 2. Have KK come off the bench.Quote:

Jakob Poeltl #9 Raptors
Thon Maker #10 Bucks
Why? I'm not disagreeing, I just don't keep up with NBA other than playoffs. I thought the NBA draft was a bunch of foreigners nobody's heard of? Seems that would be worse than NFL since those are all college players being drafted. Interested to know what makes the NBA draft coolQuote:

Damontas Sabonis #11 Magic, Hawks just traded for the 12th pick
Taurean Prince #12 Hawks, Teague traded
Hawks got a college senior projected to go bottom of the 1st or 2nd round for Jeff Teague. YES!!!!!
Big trade just happened. Sabonis, Oladipo and Ilaysova go to Thunder for Serge Ibaka.
Prince is a good player and a phenomenal athlete. Hawks have more money to spend on a free agent now.Quote:

Georgis Papacantspellhisname goes #13 to Kings in a trade. Chriss goes to Suns. Bognadovich to Kings also.
Yea they got two 2015 starters for the Magic and a very good Sabonis plus an extra $5-10 mill a year.Quote:

Great pick. I think Kris Dunn to the T'Wolves is the steal right now.Quote:
