Trade deadline is near
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The NBA trade deadline is tomorrow (Thursday) at 3 p.m. ET
To be honest with you, the way this team is playing, there are only three players that I wouldn’t deal if I were GM Billy: Joe Johnson, Josh Smith and Tyronn Lue.
Johnson is our leading scorer, Josh Smith is turning into a great go-to guy if Johnson has an off-night and Lue is the best point guard on the team. The players just seem to win when Lue’s on the floor.
Right now, the Hawks need a center. Zaza is the not the player he was last year and Wright is a back-up at best. Memphis center Pau Gasol might be a possibility. Memphis is trying to move him. Remember it was GM Billy who obtained Gasol after the Hawks drafted him along with Lorezen Wright for Shareff Abdur-Rahim.
Then again, GM Billy may be waiting for “the perfect deal.” If that’s the case, he may be waiting for a long time.
If you could play GM,Hawks fans, what would you do?
Burn the yellow uniforms
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Have the Hawks ever won a game while wearing the yellow uniforms?
I don’t think the Hawks keep stats on wins in their different uniforms, but I gotta believe in the short time that uniform has been around, the Hawks haven’t won more than 3 to five games while wearing it.
The Hawks wore the yellow last night. Ugly game. Ugly uniforms.
Burn the yellow uniforms and never speak of them again.
