"They Say Du-Wop Homeeee" The GREAT Dwight Howard Returns...2016-17 ATL Hawks Season Thread

[charmander]

we just got ilyasova for splitter and 2 2nd round picks

i like this move, but that's about as high profile a move as we would make before the deadline

do yall see him starting with us?

He gon be in that staggered lineup with howard when millsap sits. Creates more spacing for howard with the 2nd unit


Not the splash we wanted but it puts splitters contract to use

I have a strong feeling the Hawks are gonna walk away with some no-name 3 point shooting Euro bench player come deadline time

Called it lol. All things considered, it ain't a bad move. At least it's an expiring deal for the same amount as Splitter so we at least have some room to work with in the summer.

Big named free agents don't mess with Atlanta though for some reason.

Which is sad considering how great this city is. In fact a lot of athletes and celebs love living here. But playing here seems to be another issue. I'm starting to think it has to do with the regime at the top. The fukkery of the Atlanta Spirit was well known throughout the league and I can understand people not wanting to be a part of that. This off season is gonna be an important one for Ressler to get himself out there and convince potential free agents that he's dedicated to making this franchise a winner.

There haven't been that many stars available in free agency to begin with. If there is a free agent we missed out on, that would push us past bron or gsw, I'd like to hear it

That's the thing, y'all act like there is this one player we keep avoiding and it's keeping us from winning.

i've always kinda liked ilyasova's game...it will be interesting to see how he meshes with the team

him and muscala together in the second unit might be a problem tho

I love his impact with the Sixers. He was a natural fit there.

Splitter, THJR and a first rounder for PG? Maybe 2 first rounders? I'm not sure how much you wanna give Indy considering PG is a FA and can possibly be had in the offseason. But like @Black Andy Dwyer said I doubt the Hawks pull a blockbuster move like that. Not because they don't have the pieces but because I'm not sure how willing they are to change this team

PG isn't a free agent until next off-season and it would take a lot more to get PG.


I mean no one is going to just give away their star player now after all the negative backlast that the Kings just got for handing theirs away for pennies.

We will get Paul if he's traded. Ya'll might give us a run for him in 2018. Our job is to put the best product on the court so you guys don't. Magic ain't LWO. He's building for 2018. By then, Russell could be an all star and Ingram could be as well. Ya'll will have a nice squad ready for FA.

Just need shelvin back and I'm good

 

[AVXL]

At least we did something

Not a big splash but gives us another shooter and finally rids us of Splitter

Wow. Dude can shoot

 

[Motife43]

That Ilyasova trade means Scott is firmly out the rotation now
