Hawks getting ripped big time there.....SAR is a 19/20 a game and 9 rebound player...celtics would need to give up walker as well to even make it fair
Yeah now would be a good deal for both sides.Walker would give hawks leadership and allround skills while Boston would get SAR who is a good consistant scorer that shoots a good FG%....Boston though might ask for another bench player as boston would be giving up more points In the deal...
There are ups and downs to this from both sides. I think AW needs a new scene. His fg% was sad last year, and I think he needs to move on. Perhaps that would get him back on track. SAR is awesome over an entire season, but can he do it in the clutch? He hasn't yet. Maybe being with Pierce, who would be the money player, he would find himself having a career season in boston. The other players in the trade are irrelevant in my opinion.
boston would do great, i really like rahim. toine is good too, but i'd rather have rahim and his higher fg %. that would make terry and toine both throwing up plenty of shots for the hawks. i just wonder how toine could do as #1 option.
I think ATLANTA would not trade him now when Tthey traded BIG DOG becuase they need some one to bang in side and walker only shoots 3.
