Marc Acres 3:16 418 Report post Posted February 24, 2011 I agree. I think Gortat, Vince and Jameer +1st could have easily gotten us Williams and CJ miles IF we would have waited. We could have thrown in MP and taken AK47 off their hands as a kicker. But hindsight is 20/20. Where was our first going to be and where are the 1st's that Utah got going to be?

Aussie Magic fan 18 Report post Posted February 24, 2011 I disagree. Harris, Favors and two very high picks trump what we could have offered. but we could have snuck under the radar while Nets-Nuggets fiasco was going on to do the deal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Hi-Top 791 Report post Posted February 24, 2011 but we could have snuck under the radar while Nets-Nuggets fiasco was going on to do the deal Not really. Utah was and would have been smart enough to wait it out. Keep our offer on hold, and wait out NY and NJ, then let the loser of those two compete with us and whomever else to drive up the package. They know Melo could only go to one or the other, so why would they pull the trigger prematurely? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They know Melo could only go to one or the other, so why would they pull the trigger prematurely? My point is that we had more assets before the Phoenix trade. Hedo is not an asset. Jrich = Vince as far as contract goes (for the most part). Earl Clark is in the last year of a small contract without full bird rights so he is not a long-term asset. Gortat is on an affordable contract, young with upside and MP was a solid defender on a 2 year affordable contract. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My 6th Rebuild 6 Report post Posted February 24, 2011 WOW, Hawks get Hinrich. Good upgrade. I hope Otis deals for Raja Bell and Shane Battier. We need defense w/o losing 3pt shooting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soul Bro 1,421 Report post Posted February 24, 2011 Hinrich and Joe Johnson vs. Nelson and Richardson. Ugghh. Our backcourt will struggle. That is a great defensive line-up for ATL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
