Spurs were looking to move up, Hawks now own 12th pick...

So Splitter at center, LMA and Durant at forwards

Kawhi and Conley at guards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd take Splitter back but Conley is the only realistic option KD isn't leaving OKC this season.

Doing it to make re-signing Horford easier could either mean 1. shedding salary 2. adding solid vets to convince him to come back.

If it's 2, Diaw+Mills+28 for 12?

I don't think 29 would necessary to make it work Kevin Pelton (ESPN) mentioned a while back that ATL does not care for draft picks that much. I think that Diaw and Mills could be enough or as someone else suggested that the Spurs take back Splitter to offset the $11.5 million that Mills and Diaw make. That would mean that ATL acquires two rotation players for only $3.0 million more than they were going to pay Splitter anyway. Maybe the 12th and 21st pick could be on the table if the Spurs agreed to take Splitter back even though he may not be ready to start the RS.

I would be fine with adding Splitter, especially if TD retires as a backup/ 3rd string center if it means acquiring a 12th and maybe the 21st pick.

hawks shoulda blown it up earlier this year like i had said. shoulda traded horford when they had the chance.

them trying to resign him... wtf are they trying to do, be the best or second best mediocre team in the league?

was advocating the hawks blew it up during last season. they coulda gotten something for horford, better value for teague... they wait until now to trade what they have left... and what, they're build around dwight howard?

the hawks would've had a ton of leverage if they had been willing to move so pieces this time last year.

I think Danny Ferry would've built a better team in ATL, sadly, that was a train wreck.
He seemed to have a vision that has since been lost.

Atlanta doesn't seem to have a vision at all - whether that's Bud or the front office... Actually the plan may be to tank so badly that they can gain unanimous league support to relocate.
