Actually Dan Dickau IS the first rounder from Sacramento...... A former 1st rounder.

Atleast that's how I understood it.

JeeberD · 02-10-2004, 12:27 AM

Thank god. Now people in Dallas can shut up about getting Shareef. Why the Mavs would ever want him is way beyond me...

samifan24 · 02-10-2004, 12:38 AM

What was Atlanta thinking? Yeah, this will really help their image.

WHAT image?

stevew · 02-10-2004, 12:49 AM

Wow, I wonder with all the cap space ATL is getting, if Kobe will be moving into SKydogs back yard.

aaaah, i see. makes sense, i forgot Sacramento traded him for a future 1st rounder.

good for Dan, hes a portland area native, and his wife is a portland cheerleader.

Is Shareef in the final year of his contract as well?

stevew · 02-10-2004, 12:55 AM

Shareef has 1 more year left

MrBug708 · 02-10-2004, 01:18 AM

Everyone is getting Cap space

It'll be Memphis or the Lakers though. Memphis because of Jerry West and the Lakers because of the money. Clips have a longshot at him too, but everyone else is just dreaming.

stevew · 02-10-2004, 01:24 AM

Yes, but Memphis has no possible way to clear enough cap space to fit Kobe, and I strongly doubt the Lakers will facilitate a sign and trade to get him out of town. Now MAYBE if the Griz were to send Gasol/Battier/Bonzi/Dickersons contract they would be in the range to afford Kobe, but that would gut their team.

Atlanta has a basketball team?

Just imagine waking up and discovering this little deal in your own backyard.

I figured it was impossible for me to care less about the Hawks. I was wrong.

Maybe they figured Wallace would at least generate free publicity on occasion.

Yeah, I know it's all about the cap money, that doesn't make it much less disgusting.

Tekneek · 02-10-2004, 06:09 AM

The Hawks like the headcases...rather, they like to rent the headcases...even trading away a local player for one.

Ben E Lou · 02-10-2004, 07:38 AM

Un-stinkin'-believable.

No, wait, it actually is believable, which makes it even more sad.

timmae · 02-10-2004, 07:54 AM

and here I thought the hawks traded alexei zhamnov....

oh well.

stevew · 02-10-2004, 10:09 AM

This isnt as bad as last year where they paid the #8 pick(TJ Ford) and some other stuff for Big Dog Robinson. Then they promptly traded Robinson the following season for Terrell BRandon, who will never play again.

A bet Atlanta aread Weed dealers are creaming themselves tho, with the chance to supply Rashweed.

Radii · 02-10-2004, 10:22 AM

A friend of mine that I chat with has the right idea here I think:

"I think it's more like Rasheed and Wesley Person + a shitload of weed for all those players. this is actually an elaborate drug deal"

What's the slogan? I LOVE THIS GAME?

I love basketball, I used to play it 4 hours a day every day for years. I can watch any two random college teams play and love it. But I won't turn on an NBA game, no matter how curious I get about Lebron(only reason I could think of to be curious about the NBA at all anymore)

JonInMiddleGA · 02-10-2004, 10:22 AM

I wonder if it wouldn't be smarter just to trade the franchise for something useful or interesting, like a minor league women's indoor lacrosse team or something.

Oh, wait, I see a problem. WTF in their right minds would want the Hawks?

rkmsuf · 02-10-2004, 10:40 AM

Stotts is actually the longest tenured coach in the Eastern Conference...

albionmoonlight · 02-10-2004, 10:44 AM

I assume that this deal was to get Rasheed's contract, which expires next year, off the books. Same reason they traded for Brandon.

If I was to speculate, I would say that the Hawks are trying the "empty cupboard" challenge. We should check and see if Quik is their new GM. We'll have a better idea if the team announces in the next few weeks that they are changing their name to the "Misfit Toys."

VPI97 · 02-10-2004, 11:35 AM

I think we're dissing it here in Atlanta because no matter what, we know we're going to lose.

We'd rather lose with players with the character of an Abdur-Rahim or Ratliff than lose with Rasheed Wallace.

Bingo.

Hell, I'd rather lose with SAR than win with scum like Wallace.

What the hell is Atlanta thinking? Why would a team EVER want Wallace
