Dude the Hawks don't play in Orlando Summer League, they play in Las Vegas Summer League like a bunch of other teams, which doesn't start for those teams until July 12th. I dig the passion, it's cool and all, but you gotta start looking up some of this stuff online or something instead of just complaining without knowing.Quote:

The Hawks are still working out details with FIBA, the international basketball governing body, about the availability of first-round draft picks Lucas Nogueira and Dennis Schroeder for the Las Vegas Summer League. The Hawks are in Las Vegas to begin practices Wednesday for their first game Friday.

I like ferry but just seems like we had no plan at all. we draft two projects(didn't make sense) at positions that we really need to address then we seem like were tanking at that point. Then you sign carroll (OMG that was worst than marvin williams pick) milsap ( not to upset but again at a log jam position) and you now chase small 2guard ellis (same as Lou) and no knees bynum (which im still up in the air on) but you wasted to much time on paul and howard and if you weren't going to tank should have been signing people earliar. SMH just don't under stand our direction (with a rookie coach may i add)

The NBA announced Tuesday night the salary cap for the 2013-14 season will be set at $58.679 million.
The league also set the luxury tax level at $71.748 million next season. Both numbers are slightly higher than normal, although neither should really alter what's left of the free-agent market.

Could be an option if some other Hawks courtships fall through. They can use an efficient playmaking wing.Quote:
The San Antonio Spurs' exploration of acquiring free-agent forward Andrei Kirilenko in a sign-and-trade agreement with the Minnesota Timberwolves has passed without completion, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
The Spurs seriously considered a multi-year offer for Kirilenko, but Minnesota general manager Flip Saunders has shown little, if any, inclination to assist him in securing a significant financial contract elsewhere, sources said.
San Antonio envisioned Kirilenko, a 6-foot-9 forward, as an ideal fit for its system. He's a gifted scorer, passer and shot blocker, and is able to defend multiple positions.
There were possible combinations of Spurs assets that appealed to the T'wolves, but ultimately Minnesota was unable – or unwilling – to take back the contracts on what could've been an $8 million to $9 million annual salary agreement for Kirilenko, league sources said.
What I was stating is why pick up Carroll he is a bad player and doesn't help if we just need a hustler why not keep Ivan he brings it every nightQuote:

There are strong indications that the Bucks are preparing an offer sheet for restricted free agent Jeff Teague, according to ESPN.com's Marc Stein (via Twitter). Stein adds (via Twitter) that the threat of an offer sheet could lead the Hawks and Bucks to ramp up talks on a potential sign-and-trade.
So if an offer sheet is signed, we'll have 3 days to match it, or we could work out a sign and trade for Monta Ellis or Brandon Jennings. I personally would like to see us just match the offer, assuming its reasonable. Depending on price, I think Jeff gives you more bang for your buck, as the other two are most likely looking for bigger contracts.
If they offer him more than we want, please trade him for Jennings.
Jennings over Ellis. Ellis would have been a nice option after Joe was traded, but that time has passed.

Monta Ellis, one of the premier players remaining on the free agent market, parted ways with his longtime agent, Jeff Fried, on Wednesday.
Yes you did! I just knew if we made an offer the Wolves refuse to match, we could have gotten the big guy...Quote:

To get full $12M in Year 1 from Cavs, Bynum would have to hit loads of contract benchmarks. And Year 2, of course, would be at Cavs' option
Which would indicate Ferry isn't willing to make other harsh moves (like renouncing free agents) to make room for a bigger guarantee for Bynum. Other GMs would probably handle it the same way based on Bynum's, ummm, "uncertainty."
