I'm gonna give you a short list from 2015 to now:

Trade for Tiago Splitter (traded rights to Georgios Printezis and future second round pick to San Antonio, SA used that freed up cap space to ultimately sign Lamarcus Aldridge). Splitter played a total of 36 games for the Hawks and averaged 6 pts, 3 rebounds a game in 16 minutes a game for the year and a half he was here because a combination of injuries. Trade FAIL for Hawks

Trade for Tim Hardaway Jr for Kelly Oubre. After an up and down first season in Atlanta (averaged 6 pts & less than 2 rebounds per game), he's been a solid spot starter and off the bench player averaging career highs of 14.1 ppg and almost 3 rebounds a game. Trade WIN for Hawks

2016:

WOAT contract. Nuff said. Hawks FAIL

Losing Al Horford for nothing. Hawks FAIL

Trading Kyle Korver for Mike Dunleavy, Mo Williams (waived) and a protected 1st round pick. As of now, Korver is shooting 48% from 3, only shot 41% for us. He's currently the league leader in 3 pt FG%. Dunleavy is averaging 6 pts and 2 rebounds a game.
Trade FAIL for Hawks

Could've signed Tim Hardaway Jr to qualifying offer last summer but didn't. Now we will have to match his offer as a restricted free agent this summer which will be significantly more expensive than it had to be

This team didn't just get bad on accident...they've made bone headed personnel decisions for almost 2 years running and that shyt catches up to you. I didn't even include how they tried to trade Sap last summer
So did you want them to trade horford during his last year for peanuts or during our 60 win season?:mjgrin:

Or millsap even. He signed a good 3 year deal for us. Do you trade him in the 1st year of the deal? Nope, that's a terrible idea.

2nd year of the deal? (This season)...nope, unless you want expiring contracts and garbage because teams know he is going to opt out.

He will void his 3rd year...nothing you can do about that.

Korver deal was a win because we got a late 1st for 30 games of korver. That is, unless you think he is what we need to win a championship THIS year.

And this forum complains about lakeset posters:russ:
I was gonna take the L , but since y'all gonna keep talking shiet

his career average is 17.5 points a game, when I say dominant I need a twenty points per game scorer. Im not talking now, im talking in his prime. He has average 20 points a game for four years but they were all in orlando. when I say dominate, I mean take a team on you back and carry they bum ass, he never did that, only one finals his entire career.

im cool with him now, which is why i didn't care about that article. But I never was pressed to have him on the hawks, because he was never that good

I'm not even coming at you but how can a player win multiple defensive players of the years and not be dominant?
