Rashard Lewis, crying in the green room to banking $22 mill a year. God bless America.

I'll just copy what I said about the Joe Johnson signing from the Hawks season thread. Our hands were tied when it came to signing Joe...

It was a damned if you do, damned if you don't move. Don't sign him and we end up overpaying for John Salmons or somebody like that and JJ goes to a squad as a 2nd guy and tears it up. Sign him, and, well you see what we get. Yeah, we overpaid put what else were the Hawks going to do? Hopefully he does his thing this year.

A month later and he's doing absolutely nothing. Highway Robbery!
I guess.... But he wasn't exactly KILLING the year y'all offered him the contract. Not to mention he had just went Casper in the playoffs, y'all could've kept that chop and filled out the roster in the years to come. What would letting him go do to y'all, its not like having him has helped y'all attendance or has moved y'all to an elite status. Y'all would've been a 7-8 squad out east instead of a 5-6 squad still wallowing in mediocrity but y'all would have helly cap space.
I would've approached him in the 80 - 88 range then saw what the rest of the market came with and if it was more than that let him walk. But hey its not my franchise..

my exact thoughts...when given the ball in the high/low post, the Horford has some nice moves. He's got good size and strength and pretty good speed for a big. They need to use him more instead of relying on bricks to build a win.....Originally Posted by HOOD17
After watching recap of that Heat/Hawks game I feel bad for Al Horford. He was hardly being used. Still can't understand why they never brought in a center so he can play the 4.

But what centers are available to bring in or can be used to upgrade the team. Lol like chuck said you know its bad when joel anthony is on the all star team roster... its seriously a drought in big men.

Market is not HUGGGE like most people think.
I mean it is a big market because it's in the Bay Area - but remember it's in Oakland - Oakland isn't nice; has probably 400,000 people -and with the arena being old, sitting literally 2 blocks from the hood doesn't help. The ownership is cheap and sucks too.
From my expereince of living in the Bay for almost 5 years - I seen more Laker fans than Warrior fans - not to take away from the die-hard Warrior fans that I've seen though of course.
Clogs up the floor on offense due to lack of spacing if your moving Smith to SF.Originally Posted by HOOD17

the old ownership under cohen was bad. they just cant attract players. they are willing to spend, heck, we gave guys like murphy, dunleavy, maggette, biedrins, lee money recently. went after deandre, and even gil when he was a free agent.

Is it really that bad for Flip? Damn I mean what is the owner/FO expecting of this WAS team this season?Originally Posted by DoubleJs07
I honestly think that whichever team loses tonight between the Knicks and Wizards, will have a new coach by Monday.
