Danny Ferry
Atlanta Hawks GM Danny Ferry has come to ATL and did what most thought was virtually the impossible and traded the "old CBA" maxed out contract of All Star SG Joe Johnson and has created a bright outlook for the Hawks financially by putting them in a position to be able to add up to a maximum contract player which most I presume would love for it to be used on hometown hero Dwight Howard, I agree but I think another player out there would fit in better w/ the Hawks plans moving forward.
James Harden
I think "The Beard" James Harden would fit in lovely in Atlanta. He's a versatile lefty who can play on or off the ball, similar to the other versatile lefty on the team (Josh Smith), he wouldn't dominate the offense but he is a player who has shown the ability to take over a game (not so much in the Finals though) and w/ a post player like Al Horford, it'd make Harden's game a little more easier as Horford is able to score unlike the post players in OKC and also having Josh as another threat on the floor. Teague is a rising PG who seems to be another guy who'd mesh well w/ Harden as now they'd have Harden, Teague, Josh, and Horford who'd all be able to get out on the fastbreak while also being able to get back effectively in transition defense.
Not that I think Harden is a max player but honestly, he will get max money from somewhere and Atlanta would put themselves into true contender status if they make a move like this simply because I honestly don't see Dwight signing in ATL and yes I know the Hawks would have to re-up both J Smoove & Teague.
2013 Atlanta Hawks:
Teague/ Harden/ Smith/ Horford/ ?
