3 Realistic and Unrealistic Signings the Atlanta Hawks Should Make 

Post#1 » by GrimeyKidd » Sat May 26, 2018 5:24 pm

With an almost entirely new coaching staff, how different will the Atlanta Hawks look next season?
Each year the Atlanta Hawks have found themselves in a very peculiar position in the offseason which is at home wondering what direction to take next. Coach Llyod Pierce from the Philadelphia 76ers was hired to be the next head coach of this franchise in hopes lead it to the promise land. With a new coach comes new outlooks on the roster and new philosophies.

Coach Pierce has been preaching defense ever since he signed the dotted line on that contract. The Philadelphia 76ers have shown that they have great luck(with high draft picks) and great development capabilities with their roster and we hope Pierce brings that mindset to a young Hawks team. Assuming every impending Hawks free agent doesn’t return, the following are 3 realistic and unrealistic signings the Atlanta Hawks should make.

Would love to hear what you guys think about this.

Before you ask.

Yes i am mainly joking about the last three.

I only like Avery Bradley at the right price to mentor guys like Zhaire, Khyri or other guys who play his position. I think he would be a great mentor with experience passed onto him by the likes of our enemies Rondo, Pierce KG and Doc (enemy ..family..). Having said that, he might get us an unnecessary 5-8 wins by himself.

Huuuuuge mentor to start the Lloyd Pierce (God I hate that last name). Avery Bradley’s defense is the defense I envision for us hopefully. Suffocating perimeter and all around D.

I'd pass on Bradley....not a need for a rebuild.
His defense has been overated/subpar the last 2 years AND he's ALWAYS injured.
Noel is my only interest on a short term deal.at the right price.

Overrated on D? Bradley? Hmmm...I don’t think so. I agree he’s not needed for a rebuild but you also can’t have a roster of 15 rookies.

Check his recent numbers. You remember his reputation as a great defender, last 2 years not so much.

We've got Baze for that 8-) . (If we move Baze, then I'm open to it).
Additionally, I really want to see what we have in Bembry. If we are about developing the young guys they've gotta play.

Besides I don't think Schlenk understands how the whole flipping thing works, see Illyasova, see Belinelli, see Dedmon.

He could have flipped them for what market value dictated...but that would have included taking back long-term salary.

I also wanna see what Noel has in the tank. Pierce has history with him, don't know how good/bad but it's some type of history.

I wanna see what Seth Curry has left too. He's about as damaged goods as it gets, but a young enough interesting piece.

As GM, Schlenk should know these things. Did he know that he signed Illya to a no-trade clause...? Did he shop Dedmon...?

If the market is dictating to you, then you're the loser.

Bradley has been a mess since leaving Boston. Grant seems like a possibility. Cousins and Durant? Let's get both!

What’s your takes on signing Hezonja? He’s still has potential and likely won’t ruin your tank for next year.

By all means, go watch game film on both, and don't rely on us signing Noel first..lol

I'd take a shot at him. Orlando hasn't done a good job developing their young guys. I assume there is some untapped potential.

HECK, YEAH!!!

The kid has potential, good size, solid athleticism.

I'm in the minority, but I'd even offer a multi year deal -- 2 or 3 years at a modest salary with the promise amounts of copious *amounts of playing time.

I think Noel would be good if we get him cheap, and i beleive we could get him at low cost now since he has been underutilized in dallas.

Don't know if his ego has been humbled yet. The supposed Colangelo twitter account called him a money grabber in the past and he later turned down $70 mil from the Mavs. I see a possibility where he goes to China or someplace if they pay him more. I can definitely see a situation where if he is a Hawk he may bristle under a former coach (Pierce) if he feels he's not getting showcased enough to earn a bigger deal.

As long as they “funnel” the defense to him...
