TFoA Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Zaza Pachulia is also staying with the Hawks, agreeing to a 4-year deal today.Good to see Zaza back, truly one of the more underrated bench players...but I am kinda mad that more and more, it's looking like the Hawks have decided to stay pat, while the Celtics, Lakers, Magic, and Cavs a.k.a. THE TOP FOUR FREAKIN TEAMS IN THE NBA are actually trying to add onto the team outside of the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew22 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Zaza!Flame, they added Crawford though. Not huge, but it's not standing pat. Eagles/Heels/Dawgs/Falcons/Hawks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I thought Detroit was reloading, with the additions of Gordon and Villanueva -- but then they go out and snag some no-name assistant coach from Cleveland (as if that's going to cripple a LeBron led division rival) and give him a 2-year deal, passing over coaches like Avery Johnson who's a proven winner.

TFoA Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Well, the Pistons didn't want to give Avery Johnson the power that he reportedly wanted...and they figure to do the next best thing, which is get the main offensive gameplanner from one of the best teams in the league.As long as he doesn't bench Rip Hamilton and turns into a player doormat like Curry was, he should be alright.

THE TOP FOUR FREAKIN TEAMS IN THE NBA are actually trying to add onto the team outside of the draft.The Hawks did pick up Crawford.The best thing the Hawks can do is stand pat and hope the team keeps on it's improvement trail. From what I've read and heard, the free agent pool isn't that strong. Boston is an old team that looks to be an injury or two away from being mediocre. Orlando could either be the dominant team in the East or falter with 2-3 new starters. Cleveland showed us that they're beatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I mean, Crawford's gonna help out bench because he's probably not going to start. But it's not like they're adding impact players like another decent big man that the Hawks have SORELY needed for a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew22 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 The problem is there aren't any good UFA big men, and the Hawks don't really have a package to put together to trade for one. Eagles/Heels/Dawgs/Falcons/Hawks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 The problem is there aren't any good UFA big men, and the Hawks don't really have a package to put together to trade for one.Villanueva, Odom, hell, even Rasheed would've been a help. Any PF or C type would've been a huge help for the team. The Hawks can't bank on steady improvement alone, especially when it comes to the thinnest part of the team. Eh, maybe I'm just being a tad impatient because of everything that's going on, but I can't really say that I'm all that satisfied with the offseason thus far.

TFoA Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Anderson Varejao just re-signed with the Cavaliers. It's a 6 year deal that could be worth up to $50 Million dollars. Yes, the guy that averaged 8 points, 8 rebounds, and 22 flops a game over this past season may end up making $50 Mil by the time his contract is up. Varejao is now, w/o question, THE most overpaid player in the NBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cujo Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 There are now reports of a possible three-team deal involving Chicago, Utah and Portland, that would send Carlos Boozer to the Bulls, Kirk Hinrich to the Blazers and Tyrus Thomas to the Jazz.ESPN.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentomushi5150 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 The proposed Chicago-Utah-Portland trade doesn't really make sense.Chicago- If they had Ben Gordon then Hinrich is slightly more expendable, but if he's shipped off they are very thin in the backcourt. Who starts opposite Rose if this trade goes through? Utah- Would Jerry Sloan put up with Tyrus Thomas? Thomas has been knocked for his consistency and I don't see him jiving with a very fundamental and old-school Utah team.Portland- Considering they're giving up nothing in current form, I guess it's a win. I'm very curious to see how this develops, and what pieces get added to make this work if it goes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who starts opposite Rose if this trade goes through?18.3 PPG player John Salmons isn't good enough to start for the Bulls? Even if this trade doesn't go through, I would believe Salmons would start over Hinrich at the 2 anyway, so why wouldn't it make sense if you deal an excess combo guard for a post-presence that the team has long been lacking?

Tentomushi5150 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I forgot about Salmons, I tend to think of him more as a 3 than a 2. Depth becomes the concern then, but one would think to make the contracts match that some bits and pieces could come in to add some backcourt depth.

Hoopskid Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Well don't forget that the Bulls still have Luol Deng, who in my opinion is one of their best players.Chicago has a solid roster right now, and I think they have the potential to be a 5 seed in the East if they can bring in a few more pieces.

From the way some of these people are getting excited about Joakim Noah, Tyrus Thomas, John Salmons out of position, and Brad Miller, it's as if we've never experienced greatness before. You know what a solid Chicago roster is? This is. This is a terribly coached Frankenstein's monster of spare parts and journeymen bidiing time till Derrick Rose is developed enough and well-surrounded enough to dominate. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
