    Everyone remaining has warts. At least dude is 24 and has nba skills. Trust me, id rather trade the space for someone wanting to dump a player with picks, but of the remaining guys, we could do a lot worse than jones.

    I'd rather roll with Harkless at PF, and I'm not a big fan of his.

    Festus or Speights are better options. I'd take Humphries over him.

    Not sure why people keep saying Harkless is an option at PF when Aminu is such a better option with his 6" standing reach advantage. (and slight weight advantage)
    But I agree we don't need someone like Jones while we have other options just as good.

    I would be happy if we somehow get Jared Sullinger. Undersized C but good on the defensive end. Had trouble in Boston the last year but the potential is big. And he is only 24 years old. Seems like a move NeO could definitely make.

    When is the moratorium over? Would really like to hear Neil spin this.

    I wo
    I have mentioned Sully before and agree, I spent a little time at the Boston board and ist seemed they would not match much of an offer with Horford on board.

    Neil won't spin it. He'll say he tried, but at the end of the day, guys just chose different situations

    Rumor has it that Denver and Hawks are working on a deal that involves Faried, an unamed player(s) and picks for Millsap

    Why would the Hawks trade Millsap at this point? He's perfect next to Howard.

    Selling high. He's what, 32, and already reached his peak, so if you can fleece a team for a ton of assets, why not?

    IDK...maybe they pissed him off with all this offseason trade buzz, and he's asked to be traded
