Of course the ATL
What they gonna do with Timmy Jr :to:

Gonna lose him for nuffin :to:

He's gonna get matched but because the Hawks are idiots with player personnel they're gonna give Sap $200 million and have to match a restricted offer when they couldve signed THJR to a qualifying offer last summer. By letting him play it out THJR got hot and raised his value. Good for him but bad for an organization not to recognize that and tender him...I mean we did give up a 1st round pick for him and gave him a year to develop, the least we could do was protect the investment but whatever. I'm convinced the Hawks FO has no idea what direction they want to take this team

I personally think Paul will leave. I hope they don't try to trade the house to land someone like Paul George.

Only thing is I don't see Sap leaving that kind of money on the table. The Hawks have backed themselves into a weird corner where they basically have committed to making Sap their franchise guy and they've seemed to indicate that they are willing to make Sap Joe Johnson 2.0.

The interesting part is if Sap does have any lingering frustration from the fact that the Hawks aggressively tried to trade him twice in the past 9 months...I still wonder how much that bothers Sap
