This team has ALOTTA decisions to make. Combine that with an owner who has more of a role in the decision making of the makeup of this team and you have ALOT of problems
I'm not sure where we go from here to improve. And if you read the comments from Ressler, we're not tanking so get used to this "core" brehs

Since its over over now, I'd let everybody who is a free agent or wants to be one, go. Can't beat the wiz, aint worth a dime #AtlantaHawks

and what we need in the draft this year, Guards!!! Guards!! Guards!!!, hopefully cats with long arms and quick feet #AtlantaHawks
Those aren't easy to find and they are normally lottery picks. Our best chance at one was screwed up by Brooklyn making the playoffsand what we need in the draft this year, Guards!!! Guards!! Guards!!!, hopefully cats with long arms and quick feet #AtlantaHawks

its going to be a long development, I won't lie, as long as they played Divison 1 basketball or at least east of the Mississippi, Im str8, that is what Emory is for
Developing NBA level two way guards is hard as shyt. It's the one position where they have to have the tools and athletic ability to do it.

Obviously the Hawks will max Trill(he's 32, gotta cash out), I think you guys should go after Waiters if you can't resign Hardaway. Maybe try to buy low on Hezonja or Stanley?

fukk no on your last question. Sap is gonna opt out and then we wait and see. It'll be interesting...I posted an article with quotes from a recent interview with our owner Tony Ressler and he basically admitted that the front office was 50/50 on trading Sap back in Jan/Feb. Ressler said that he shut any trade proposals down. So while everyone assumes that Sap will be back I'm not so sure. The owner wants him here but at what price? So that's obviously the biggest question for us
#2 is Tim Hardaway Jr. Great year for us, he'll probably get WOAT money and I'm not sure we're willing to pay him that. That's gonna be another big question mark
From there this team & owner have to be real about what this team is and how do we move forward. This is a team that has continued to get worse since the 60 win season 2 years ago. I've got hope in Dennis & Prince and if we can bring Sap back, but the rest of this roster is mediocre to trash
Wop looked washed out there brehs. He had his moments in the regular season and overall I'm happy with what he did this season, but the days of him being a dominant big are over
WOAT. He's basically a bench player who you have to limit his time on the floor and how often he touches the ball because he's so uncoordinated and has such low BBIQ. His 4 yr/70 million dollar contract is one of the worst contracts in Hawks history and he will be impossible to move.

I love Rudy, but where would he play? Prince is (hopefully) the starting SF moving forward. That eliminates Rudy.
BTW, the Hawks came into this season needing to get more athletic on the wings. With THJR & Prince you have that, but I'm not sure what type of ceiling you're gonna get from those two. I think their combined ceiling is good, not great.

Wilcox gone might mean big changes. I'm excited at the possibility of a shakeup.
Agreed.
