Asik now?
I don't know about Asik now. I didn't realize his contract broke down the same way Lin's did, 15 mil next season. If he ends up being a piece we get back in a sign and trade for Josh, maybe we can restructure that contract. Also don't know if you're paying Millsap 9.5 a season to come off the bench. I think Al is still a center...
I'm just going to wait until Ferry has 12 guys on this roster to see what he is really doing, but I hope Horford is our PF. Also the end of Josh Smith as a Hawk.
The guys Ferry has brought in are guys with the right attitude and hard workers, the type of players you want to start building a culture with. I think were going to see a rebuild that combines the draft with moves like these.
I love the millsap signing....Wont never have to question Paul...He gives you a 110% everynight...Ivan Johnson on steroids!!! A lot of heart!!
Good athleticism, Solid rebounder, Good mid-range game, Good Post moves, and even has great handles for a dude his size..A beast in the paint is what he is..And even though he's only 6'8, he will dunk on you.
Great value deal...You'll want to resign him when his contract is up.
Vivlamore on the 2 signings:
Quote:
In Millsap and Carroll the Hawks continue to fill their roster with high-character, professional players. The contracts are also cap friendly and could be moved if necessary.
Quote:
In Carroll the Hawks get a hard-working wing defender with size. The Hawks hope that work ethic will be contagious for the number of young players on the roster.
It's interesting that it's a 2 year deal and could be moved. Wonder if Ferry thought "hard worker, gives it his all. I could gather up pieces and if a star is demanding a trade, I have trade bait"?
My hope now is that Schroeder gets some playing time with us.
agreed. Ferry should feel confident in drafting later in the draft, and adding pieces in FA that could help the team either on the court or in a trade for a star is a great move. Just be aggressive Danny. All I want.Quote:

Are you guys doing a sign n trade with Houston?
There were a few rumors of one earlier, but it looks like Houston is going Ryan Andersen over Josh Smith, probably a better fit for them.Quote:

A S&T idea that has been brought up in the past but now actually looks better with what we are doing. Maybe a S&T Josh Smith for Gasol now? Isn't he an expiring this year?
Horford/Gasol with Millsap off the bench would be pretty good in the East.
Wow Houstons going to get Anderson over smith
I like Jeff teague . How come you guys aren't resigning him?
I'd like to see Jeff Teague back, but if he's not resigned its because of Dennis Schroeder, our 1st round pick. He's getting compared to Rondo, but has a jump shot.
