Any chance Hawks are looking to snag Dwight Howard as a UFA next year?

no this is where it should be. peeps need to put shit in the right spots.

how is billy king still employed? seriously, the most toxic contract in the nba? 30 year old declining shooting guard who is most famous for the iso-joe offense? sure, why not.

hey billy, do you need a great power forward with a super high ceiling to pair with your luxury tax 7th seed lineup of two rapidly aging athletes getting paid a combined 120 million for the next 4 years? i would like to introduce you to tyrus thomas.

My buddy is a pretty serious Nets fan, and he can't stand Billy King. I know they're desperate to be a contender, but MAN are they paying a price. They'll have gutted the youth on the squad and have to do really well with late round selections in the years they keep in order to have any semblance of youth talent moving forward.

joe johnson is better than people give him credit for, but his contract is INSANE, and there's no getting around that.

i'm gonna assume whoever gets dwight howard is gonna end up looking like the smartest person in all of this, even if it was super risky and probably not wise at all. if the nets trade happens, a line up of DWill, JJ, Crash, ???, and Dwight will be awesome for at least a couple years.

if hawks can trade teague and horford, or if they can just sign howard straight up, they also will be looking pretty good.

and, of course, it needs to be said that the nets really messed up and pulled the same dumb move we did with tyrus, trading for a guy we wanted but was going to expire, and then having to overpay to keep him and save face. if they were gonna give crash $40 mil, he woulda gone to brooklyn without having to send a pick, cause let's be honest, no one was gonna come close to offering that.
