Point Guard of the Future... Meet Earl Boykins



So the rumors going around have it that the Atlanta Hawks front office have reached out to Earl "The Squirrel" Boykins. In an effort to create a clone of 1988 - 1989 Atlanta Hawks team, a season in which we won 52 games, we just might get the pieces to make it happen.

Spud Webb - Earl Boykins (Mainly for height purposes)

Dominique Wilkins - Josh Smith (Athletic Phenom with crazy dunkability)

Moses Malone - Al Horford (He may as well be the Messiah for the Hawks)

Dudley Bradley - Zaza Pachulia (Bradley was known as the "Secretary of Defense" and if Zaza was American I bet his name would be Dudley)

Reggie Theus - Jamal Crawford (The spark that lights it up)

Doc Rivers - Mike Bibby (Was a double-double guy... almost...once upon a time...back in the 2000-2001 season... playing for Vancouver)

Jon "Contract" Koncak - Joe Johnson (Yeah, that whole contract isn't gonna leave you, Joe)

Antoine Carr - Marvin Williams (Skinny Mustache Aficionados)

Alright getting back on to the subject, According to RealGM and other reliable sources, they claim that Atlanta Hawks Front Office has reached out to Earl Boykins. Now, I don't think we have a definite need at the point guard position and it doesn't really bode well to the progress of Jeff Teague. I question if the Hawks have full trust in Mike Bibby, who has been pretty reliable so far but dropped off last year and maybe on-the-go through a trade if they do sign Boykins, or Teague who might not pan out the way Hawks would like. For all the respect I have for Boykins, who did some wonderful things with Washington last season, I don't think its a glaring issue with only 2 true point guards on the roster. We do have Joe Johnson and Jamal Crawford who know how to run the point effectively. Although, I'm sure we're done with acquiring big men to station our front court I still think that, that is our most untested and questioned spots on the roster and you can never have to many quality big men. This really doesn't make alot of sense unless the Hawks Front Office has a master idea about trading Bibby, which we are more than likely going to do, and sign Boykins as a replacement. So what do you guys think? I want to hear the good, the bad, and the ugly
