WOW FERRY IS GOING AFTER LEBRON OR CARMELO!!! 

Post#1 » by atlantabbq99 » Mon Jun 30, 2014 1:40 am

WOW FERRY IS GOING AFTER LEBRON OR CARMELO!!! Ferry traded Louis and Bebe for pure cap space, without touching Horford, Korver, Teague, or Millsap.

Ferry can officially offer a max contract now.

The Hawks drafted two centers. This moves has balls, because Ferry is swinging for the fences.

The only backup plan would be to sign Monroe to replace Bebe.

Yeah I think this confirms that he is, indeed, going in with a pitch. I expected that we would, but was hoping that we could get someone to take Lou for Jenkins or a 2nd, rather than Bebe.

According to Spotrac, only five teams other than the Heat have the cap space to offer James the maximum $23.7 million per year without making any additional moves: the Phoenix Suns, Dallas Mavericks, Utah Jazz, Philadelphia 76ers and Los Angeles Lakers.


You can now add Atlanta to that list.....

Actually, Dallas should not be on the list, they can't offer max, they have to still resign Dirk, unless Cuban is willing to let Dirk walk, which he is not.

so it should be

Suns
Hawks
Jazz
Sixers
Lakers

We don't have max contract cap space. We only have $15 million in space. We have cap holds for Scott, Mack, Payne, and Muscala that put us at about $48 million with the cap expected to be $63.

Goodl luck with going after Lebron/Melo

Horford
Millsap
Melo/Lebron
Korver
Teague

That is an amazing lineup, off the charts spacing.

Wrong, the Hawks only owe 42 million in cap. The Hawks only have Horford, Millsap, Teague , Korver, Carroll, Schroeder, Jenkins, Antic....... everybody else can walk.

Well you are wrong as well. You are forgetting the 1M if he cut Salmons, Payne's salary, and the others that we are likely to bring back.

Atlanta is realistically looking at around 15.5M in cap space.

your extremely large text with caps is very annoying. Going after LBJ and Melo doesnt mean anything since neither have real interest in us.

Good trade. i think the Hawks will get back Jenkins and that is probably why you guys drafted two Centers in the draft and one SG.

The Hawks might also go after Bosh since he is from Georgia Tech.

The Hawks have around $15 million to play with for the last time. You have to renounce, re-sign, sign, and pick up options on Payne,Mack,Scott,Muscala, and maybe even Patterson before doing anything else. That puts you right back at where you just left off at $48 million.

That seems like a bit of a reach.

Indeed.

Bebe plus our #15 pick this year could have been packaged to move up in this draft. Or he could have just traded it last year for a future draft pick.

Giving away that draft pick for absolutely nothing is unconscionable.

Team must be high on Walt Tavares. He is 7 freaking 3 after all.

Bebe's hair would've made him close to 7'3 though :lol:

If we're throwing away draft picks to sign Greg Monroe or Gordon Hayward....I will officially be off the D Ferry bandwagon.

Don't be delusional Hawks fans

Lebron or Melo aren't even considering Atlanta. You guys should target Chandler Parsons or a lesser player similar to him.

I have the feeling Ferry is going after Parsons or Hayward.
GO HAWKS.

I won't. I would give up Bebe any day of the week for Monroe or Hayward.

Hayward isn't happening though Utah has already said they will match any offer he gets
