Hawks draft night open thread

Come one, come all. To vent and to freak out. To laud praise and cry disaster. After all, it is freaking draft day! The sky could both simultaneously fall and break into the heavens at the very same moment. Is there anything better?
Starting around 7 pm. I will be in the comments with a stream of conscious of where the Hawks may go and how I feel Mike Woodson will mess it up upon arriving there. Feel free to join me.
Jamal Crawford talk, links to rumors, and preposterous trade talk is all welcome.
Go Hawks!

vince carter rumored to Orlando
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4287197
that would be great for the Hawks. the less shots dwight howard gets the better imo.

minus that dagger, game winner
vince hit against the hawks this year. i think i cried after that one.

Yeah i guess they are gonna let Turkoglu walk too. Should be interesting. I don’t know how much better this makes them though

apparently vince to the magic is a done deal
hedo not going to be resigned. i am kind of shocked.
plus, i loved courtney lee.

O trying to win now
The Magic are trying to win it right now. Replace Lee with Carter and they win that game 2 in LA. Lee was a nice player, but VC makes that shot 10x out of 10. Great move for the O.

knowing turk is probably gone
i don’t see how vince is going to put them over the top. and if he doesn’t all their eggs will be in aging, part time trying wing player.

tempting to get into Amare talks
They are taking offers for Amare. Its tempting to make an offer for him eventhough he might/will leave for NY at the end of the year. But a Bibby, Joe, Marvin/Smoove, Horford, Amare line up is nasty….and could challenge the Cavs
by Cmart34 on Jun 25, 2009 5:15 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Amare or Bosh would be nice but if they have a dream of playing for the Knicks, oh well
First off, unless the Knicks get Lebron or D-Wade next summer they will not be as good as the Hawks anytime soon. Second, I have a funny feeling we are going to pick someone that falls like maybe: Brandon Jennings, James Johnson, or Dejuain Blair. If Jennings, Johnson, and Dejuain Blair and Jeff Teague are all there I would take James Johnson.

Lee’s going to be a solid player. Rod Thorn’s building a nice nucleus up there. Devin Harris and Courtney Lee, Brook Lopez. Nice little team.
And now they’ll have a ton of cap space in 2010, and a minority owner who happens to be LeBron’s mentor, and a new Brooklyn arena coming open in a few years.
Conspiracy theories on this one anyone?

Here’s what just happened-someone was deep in discussions to trade up to the pick to grab Flynn, but time was running out before the trade was finalized. Minnesota selected him in order to continue negotiating.
Of course, they wasted all their negotiating power in doing so. It’s not like they can just say “Oh yeah, we’ll just keep both these guys.” Only Memphis would do that.

i know but take a chance on him he will work harder than Acie did

Poor Acie. I still think he got a raw deal.

Why take Daye
When there’s more NBA ready guys available?

Lawson I'm on board with
but Teague? the Hawks need a passer.. Then just maybe I’ll purchase 2k10 this year

James Johnson should be the Pick
James Johnson is better than Marvin Williams right now. This should be the pick if he is there.

Watched him a bunch in the ACC this year
Guy has bust written all over him. We have enough players without any basketball IQ.

I just know this is gonna be BJ Mullins...
Sorry guys, it just makes no sense, so it’ll make perfect sense to the Hawks…
I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I only lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three.

Lawson or Teague Im Great
Either but pass on Maynor. He good be Billups or he could be Acie.

Ty or Patty
Quickest players in this draft. Perfect for my run around in circles scheme in 2k

and the his hand is resting on PG on the scout page so the intern just keeps telling them take a PG

He's a great offensive player.
Torched Carolina this year.
by jrauch on Jun 25, 2009 9:24 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Teague so no way we re-sign Flip
Teague, Crawford, and Flip are all the same. This is a C+ pick as of now.
by Hawks-Semi Fan on Jun 25, 2009 9:24 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
There's no way Flip was going to replicate his play from last year.
Both Bibby and Flip had career years. Had to improve those guys somehow.
by jrauch on Jun 25, 2009 9:25 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
best PG left
I wouldhave taken a chance with maynor too
by Cmart34 on Jun 25, 2009 9:24 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
We need to make a trade to get Blair
Future consideration type stuff.
by Hawks-Semi Fan on Jun 25, 2009 9:25 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Teague can play PG
but he will be a scoring option too

a few years late
but we got our wake pg.
by hawksdawgs on Jun 25, 2009 9:25 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Teague, bleh
Could have taken Blair, dealt Childress’ rights to New Orleans for the 21st pick, and taken Teague there.

Well
It ain’t as if his philosophy has led to a good defensive team.
by jrauch on Jun 25, 2009 9:27 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
It's because he only talks about defense.
Obviously he doesn’t give a sh*t about it.
by rbubp on Jun 25, 2009 9:28 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
these last two moves
are an indictment on mike woodson
by hawksdawgs on Jun 25, 2009 9:29 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
This has nothing 2 do with Bibby
Crawford nor Teague are true points.

What do you guys think of moving Joe to the 3 spot?

he can do that
he did that some in PHX
by Cmart34 on Jun 25, 2009 9:28 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Dunno. Be tough to do because a sign and trade with Marvin is tough
Since he’s a base year compensation player.

I meant with Crawford/Speedy becoming final.
Teague will be OK. I still have faith in Acie…will be interesting to watch him under Nellie.
by Duff_Man on Jun 25, 2009 9:32 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
he's got to play Teague
we can’t keep wasting draft picks

It's not like we were ever getting a player that will matter so it's all good, just a bunch ado about nothing imo

said and done I'd have felt better with Blair, though.
I’d have looked forward to the stories in the news about how he took Smoove’s lunch out of sheer meanness,

Chicago or Portland
One of these two will deal with us to get Blair. I just know it Chicago has already picked and they have cap situations. They need to re-sign Gordon they dont want this guaranteed contract, 2 in the 1st round, nope.
by Hawks-Semi Fan on Jun 25, 2009 9:32 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
he tore his ACL's in HS
had surgery
and he’s overweight…..one collision with D Howard away from being on the inactive list

We should happen to him
If he falls to Chicago we should be able to get him.
