Well considering the hawks currently are a team under the cap room I am wondering why dont they take a shot and make a offer at darius miles. They apparently wont get dampier as they cant offer him the type of money he wants and they have had an offer on the table for a while. The blazers are currently busy tring to get hassel and that is there main issue right now so they are not really playing much attention to miles. Miles has had a history of under accomplishing, but last year he had a great season once he was traded to the blazers averaging 10.9 points a game. He would be a athletic player that could play the three for them and there lineup would be stacked from the 1 to 3 spot. With Terry, Harrington, and Miles. They also wouldnt have to depend much on harrington to be there main consistant scoring option. Since there would be so many scorers. Added with there rookies coming of the bench and possible getting swift they would be a very deep team and a possible playoff team. Any thoughts?
I don't think the Hawks should get another small forward. In Al Harrington, they have a player who should start at the three alongside Chris Crawford and cause size problems against opponents. Even if Harrington plays the four, the Hawks would still have rookies Josh Smith and Josh Childress to play the three. Childress is a player whom I deem as an instant impact type and Smith has loads of potential, plus his Atlanta roots, to earn him a certain amount of minutes. If the Hawks get another small forward in Darius Miles to start, the growth of the two rookies will be stunted, something that the Hawks would not want to do.
I sort of agree with trip, the growth of the 2 rookies will be stunted if they acquire another small forward. They already have Chris Crawford, Al Harrington, and Josh Smith. Josh Childress is more of a 2 gaurd. If Crawford got traded then I would understand getting Darius Miles or if Harrington was going to play more PF on the team than SF. I would love to see Darius Miles on the hawks, but I doubt it's going to happen.
I don't see room for him in ATL at the 2 or 3, unless they plan on sitting Josh Smith on the bench for 40 minutes a game and Miles as a backup SG. SG:Josh Childress/[No room for Miles, 3 man rotation is good enough, need a bench player here] SF:Al Harrington/Josh Smith
