Speedy claxton and marvin williams for Zach Randolph. Low post threat you guys need desperately and we get Marvin for the uptempo offense

Bibby
Johnson
Smith
Randolph
Hortford

pretty good right there, definitely playoffs guranteed and maybe 5 to 8th seed.

Three years of $14,666,666 - $16,000,000 and $17,333,333? No Thanks!

No, friend, it's not fair.

Randolph is a black hole monetarily, offensively, and emotionally to a young team. I'm sorry for you that your favorite team has him but I'd never want him on my Hawks.

Talent-wise, it is fair offer. Unfortunately, Randolph can't be evaluated on talent alone. High salary, lack of defense, and reputation as a bad teammate make him untouchable to the Hawks.

I suggest finding a team that could use a low post scorer but have some dominate veteran personalities to anchor their team. It would help if they are desperate. My suggestions are Denver, Dallas, and New Jersey.

Nope. I see Zach as a negative, both contract wise and as a player. No defense is a big negative for me.

How is Marvin at a position of a glut? I never knew that having a starter and a backup who si capable of playing both wing positions is a glut.

We have Horford and Smith at the 4. The Hawks need help but not at the 4.
