Shoulda drafted Portis or Oubre.........

Lost your best defender and your space creating bigman.

Should have acquired a rebounder. Their biggest acquisitions were a soft big and a chucking 2 guard.

I know statswise they are good. But they let trash teams just mosey down the lane at will. IF they didnt have Thabo and Jeff they would be dead last. Al and Kyle get their lunch took damn near every game.
Al don't get his lunch taken, even statistically, this is false.

Of course the ATL
Sweeping changes need to be made

It was funny hearing Bud talk about the team this week on 92.9 on his weekly show and he was saying the typical bullshyt of "we feel really good about our team"

I'm just like :dahell: I'm not convinced breh, losing to bad teams, inconsistent play all around...but let's keep it 100% doe. Al Horford is a FA after this yr. Should we trade him or risk not resigning him and getting nothing back. I've been hearing he wants max money and Al (and he's been a very good player for us) isn't worth the max to this team. I'd be in favor of trading him to be honest, this team peaked last yr and it's time to destroy & rebuild

Yeah Horford would be an awesome player for a lot of teams but is resigning him just screams Woodson/Drew era

If this team is going to rebuild, then they need to make MAJOR moves....not just "put a band-aid on the situation" moves.

Trade Horford, Teague and Splitter for needs. Get rid of Mack. Keep Schroe for NOW. Keep Bazemore. Keep Thabo.

Also....WHAT IS THE STATUS of Walter Tavares? Will this dude be ready by NEXT year, at least? Like, if he could give us ANYTHING in the middle it'd be a huge help....is he just NOT an NBA player? I don't get it....

For the record....these cats have played five games in the last seven days, so I wasn't too surprised at the loss (or the Kings loss, quite honestly)....hell, at least they were still competitive in both games.
