Team 1: Trade for D.Motiejunas, J.Hill, H.Thabeet
Team 2: Keep Pape Sy & Al Horford (10ppg career playoffs)
Team 1 - Triple Post Hawks w/ actual Post Defense and Scoring
PG - (Jeff Teague/36mpg,16ppg,6apg,3rpg) + (Kirk Hinrich/12mpg,3ppg,1.4apg,1rpg)
SG - (Joe Johnson/36mpg,16ppg,4rpg,4apg) + (Marvin Williams/12mpg,5ppg,2rpg,0.6apg)
SF - (Josh Smith/36mpg,16ppg,8rpg,3.5apg) + (Malcolm Thomas/12mpg,5ppg,2rpg,1apg)
PF - (Donatas Motiejunas/36mpg,16ppg,7rpg,3.5apg) + (Jordan Hill/12mpg,6ppg,5rpg,0.5apg)
C - (Hasheem Thabeet/26mpg,7ppg,7rpg,1.6bpg,0.4apg) + (Z. Pachulia/17mpg,5ppg,4.5rpg, 0.8apg)+(Hill/5mpg17mpg total^)
Totals: 96ppg, 43.5rpg, 21apg,
- 96ppg - 26th, same as last year
- 43.5rpg - 5th, 6th or 7th tied with Indiana Pacers, Orlando Magic, Houston Rockets
{28th last year (39.3rpg)}
- 21apg - 22 apg last year
+ better Defense Efficiency and same roster all year,
- BLOCKS
Hawks (28th in blocks last year) (341 total, tied with Celtics)
(- Horford's 80 blocks, 36mpg)
(-28, Josh Powell, Hilton Armstrong, Jason Collins, Damien Wilkins)
(- everyone's blocks in old roster)
(+243 blocks from reassigned minutes and remaining core)
(+220 blocks w/Hill + Thabeet (43mpg)
(+Thomas + Motiejunas = "X" blocks)
Triple Post Hawks BLOCKS
(463 total Blocks, tied with Bulls and Pacers)
5th in blocks {Thomas+Motiejunas excluded}
+ more room for Teague to drive, better screeners, more room for Smith to post and get leaner, more athleticism and problems for Noah and Boozer
Team 2 - Budget Hawks
Jeff Teague +Kirk Hinrich
Joe Johnson + Pape Sy
Josh Smith + Marvin Williams
Al Horford + Magnum Rolle/Joe Alexander (6'8, 250 lbs now, replaces Josh Powell)
Zaza Pachulia + (injury prone part time budget center - Kwame Brown/Omar Samhan/Aaron Gray/)
Team 2:
- last year 28th in blocks,
- 29th in steals, 28th in rebounding,
- 2nd to last in offensive rebounding,
- 29th in free throw attempts
- 25th in field goal attempts
- budget centers: Kwame Brown*-29yo, Jason Collins*-33yo, Aaron Gray-28yo, Omar Samhan*-22yo
Note: Atlanta Hawks have some of the worst fan support and attendance numbers and Coaches NOT FANS vote Horford in as an All Star Reserve.
