Just curious to see what the majority of you guys think.

Nope, but I really wish they'd flip Solomon for a vet big...

If I were the Hawks I'd trade Acie for a better backup PG and to protect themselves in case Bibby leaves. Acie should have more value to a lottery team than he does to the Hawks.

At this point, I would like to see a trade (if possible) for Brad Miller involving Zaza + Speedy + filler or pick, but I don't see ASG going on that like last year.
The team show they can be the 4th best team, maybe close to Orlando, if everybody is healthy. Last year, it was not the same case.

Sure if everybody stays, it will be a better team next year, but it will be hard to beat one of CLE, BOS or ORL.

There some things I see:

Law will not get playing time as Woody want to be sure to get this homecourt advantage.
And next year, Woodson will coach for an extension, so will certainly use the veteran players one more time. So if it has to be like that, it would be better to trade Law now while is under a nice rookie contract.

the other thing is that I am disappointed with Evans. He's not the defender he was suppose to be.
The good point is that is not afraid in the money time, can take his responsibilities, but on an overall view, I am not sold on him.

Two reasons to trade them now, Zaza because we can't be sure to get him back next year, or even a better player for the same price. And Speedy because of Speedy.
There is certainly something to do with these players, but it would be complicated to get something, at least without throwing a pick.

Absolutely agree and I also think Solomon should be moved for a vet big.

But neither will happen.
