If Dwight doesn't come here I think the Hawks will let Josh leave and tank for a decade or until they land some big fishes in the draft or free agent ala Joe Johnson. ANd there's no guarantee Ferry will stay past his contract.
This could easily become the 2000s all over again.

How can you look back at the 2000s when we have completely different people in the FO? I have more faith in Ferry than I did in Knight. Knight Paid for mediocrity (Speedy), drafted conservatively (Marvin), not to mention trigger happy on trades. He strayed away from any plan, just like he is doing in Brooklyn (Gerald Wallace trade, Joe Trade, Brook Max) to shoot themselves in the foot on Dwight.
From what it sounds like, everyone, including the players, have faith in Ferry. And after pulling off 2 miracles in 48 hours, I'd say the players are excited to see Ferry's plan through!
With Ferry, he had 2 teams (1 a second round knockout, the other a
chance to contend for title) and he chose the latter, getting rid of the 2 contracts that were handcuffing us in mediocrity (the optimistic choice of the two). Ferry has a plan and so far has not strayed from it! At least we are seeing change now rather than years from now when we would easily be a 10 year lottery team. At least Ferry is giving us that
chance to build a team worthy of a title!
