We desperately need a center

Good for Zaza.... I wish him and Drew well in Milwaukee

Zaza is a legit NBA center. his hustle and hard work always inspired alot of Hawks fans. He is going to help the Bucks get some win, which Ferry and the Hawks are not looking for in 2014, and give Milwaukee a shot at #6 or #7 in the east.

I wanted to see the Spurs get Zaza, but i understand that this is Zaza's last pay day so good for him.

[ATL Boy]

Good Luck to Zaza, I always liked him and am gonna miss seeing him in a Hawks uniform

[Skyhawk1]

He's the Atlanta Hawks all time leader in 3 sec. violation and illegal screen. It won't take him long to do the same thing with the Bucks.

He was once a Buck and we already know his negatives posted here and positives. It is a competition to Andrew Wiggins and you guys have the upperhand by allowing us to get your coach and allowing your best player to go to Detroit.

We both messed up by signing other players though. In this draft I would do all I could to get one of the top 5 players and be ecstatic.

Yeah, i like the direction Danny Ferry is going. i like the bold thinking and moves. i'm already resolved with the Hawks not getting the #1 pick, so i'm okay with anything in the top 5. i'm really liking Julius Randle. he looks like a rich man's Shareef Abdur-Rahim or rich man's Antawn Jamison. Randle's game is exactly like Shareef, PF with SF skills, smooth and great at finishing, but unlike Jamision and Shareef, who are at 225lbs, Randle has 25lbs more muscle and is a solid 250lbs. Parker, Willie Cauley-Stein, and Glen Robinson also look like franchise players.

Anyway, Zaza, is a fan favorite. His 3 seconds aren't so bad, his illegal screens are still bad. before his flops were the worst, but the past couple of years he stopped that and his defense is pretty good now a days.

TCorbin, I fully expect you to own up to being wrong about tanking should we make the playoffs.

U have already misfired on Rivers to Clippers, CP3 and Dwight coming here, Ferry trading Horford and re-signing Josh.

[Jamaaliver]

Also, it's not a foregone conclusion Wiggins enters the draft this year.

[HMFFL]

Zaza gave us some good memories.

I think it was time to let him go to another team.

just give up dude, i never said Paul and Dwight are coming, but i did say that Ferry is going to get two international players and make an offer to Dwight and Paul.... which did happen

I never said Dwight and Paul are coming, i always said that i love the effort Ferry is making in going after star players.

I never said that Horford is getting traded, i said that he will only get traded and Josh re-signed if Dwight agrees to come.

and i did say that the league would not allow KG and Rivers to be traded, which i was totally right about. I was wrong about Rivers leaving, i thought he was going to be a life long Celtic.

i also said that Joe was tradeable and you said that he wasn't. i also said that Marvin was tradeable and you said he wasn't. you couldn't have been more wrong about that, i was right.

you said last year that the Hawks with Josh and Al are not going to make the playoffs, and you were wrong, the Hawks ended up finishing basically the same as they do with Joe.

you said that Josh and Horford would be horrible offensively, and the Hawks last year was 2nd in assist and in the top ten in offensive efficiency. so you couldn't have been more wrong about Josh and Horford as the focal points of the offense.

last year you said that Dwight will re-sign with the Lakers. you were definatly wrong about that. you said Dwight only cares about the money, you were wrong again.

Hawks will have speed, but speeds mean nothing when you can't defend, get the rebound and start the break. simple basketball logic.

you said that last year after Joe got traded, the Hawk were going to tank, but they didn't with Josh and you were wrong about that. now you are saying they are not going to tank, and they are tanking, so you are wrong about this again.

you also said Jenkins will be the next Reggie Miller

you have been ridiculously wrong about the Dwight LA situation and the Joe situation, and the Hawks record last year and missing the playoffs.

you are delusional or dumb, if you think that the Hawks are going to be better than the Heat, Knicks, Nets, Pacers, or Bulls.

and again, i really hope that Ferry gets Monta Ellis

Wrong. Liar.

[Jamaaliver]

Figured I'd go on record with a few of my bold predictions.
For praise and reverence for all my predictions that come true.

And unyielding ridicule for all the things that are inevitably completely wrong.

Starting with the Hawks....

-Louis Williams will win the '6th Man of the Year' award this season. With Harden in Houston and likely a starter, Louis will easily win this award.

-Josh Smith will be an All-Star this year. He'll put up monster scoring numbers as the primary option in a high flying, fast scoring offense. (Josh still won't shoot over 50% from the field, though.)

-Josh's numbers will increase, but the Hawks win total won't. We'll contend for a playoff spot, but will hover around .500 for most of the season.

-Joe Johnson will be missed. As a steadying force, as a goto player, as a defender. (Leading scorers and 6 time All Stars are not easily replaced.)

-Al Horford will be the first Hawks player to average a double-double since Dikembe Mutombo.

-This will be Larry Drew's last season coaching in Atlanta.

More proof that you are a lying POS.

I agree. Josh to NJ eliminates the Nets taking Joe Johnson.

But I do believe there would be other opportunities to move JJ.

He's a 6-time All Star, consummate professional and consistent, dependable scorer.

There are always teams 'desperate for talent' who would kill to have a JJ on their roster.

i also said that Joe was tradeable and you said that he wasn't. i also said that Marvin was tradeable and you said he wasn't. you couldn't have been more wrong about that, i was right.

LOL now you are just lying about your own lies ....

Just a shot in the dark:

1. Miami
2. Boston
3. Indiana
4. Brooklyn
5. New York
6. Chicago
7. Milwaukee
8. Atlanta/Cleveland/Washington

I do believe Boston and Brooklyn are locks. JJ and a bunch of unproven kids was enough to get us to the playoffs. So JJ and Deron and Gerald Wallace should probably garner a top 4 record.

Boston is always amongst the best teams in the East and Rondo, Avery Bradley, Fab Melo, Jared Sullinger should blend well with the experience of KG and Pierce.

Washington has made some solid moves this offseason. Okafor and Nene shoud make an imposing frontcourt. And Beal and Wall are a couple of stars in the making.

Cleveland already shows signs of improvements. If they get Bynum, they should be pretty tough to beat. Assuming Kyrie Irving manages to make it through the season without getting hurt.

Chicago has the best coach in the Eastern Conference. they'll tread water until Rose gets back.

Not only is this untrue, but TCorbin didn't even exist on this board until Dec 2012.
Well after both players were traded.
