If anybody needs to be traded it's
Shareef.20/7 that he is giving is
simply not enough.He should be
producing 26PPG 11RPG 3APG and
actually helping fill the arena and
he doesn't do any of that...yet is
a top paid player in the league.

He can't even draw any fans to
the arena.

If we could trade him for lets
say.....Shareef/Dickau for
Ray Allen

We could have:

Jason Terry
Ray Allen
Glenn Robinson
Theo Ratliff
Nazr Mohammad

Our rebounding would be really
improved and we would have
more outside threats.

Addition to that Dickau has been
a big dissapointment.He was
supposed to be able to spare
Terry for some minutes yet
everytime he steps on the
court he makes several mistakes
and is so slow on defense.

I was atleast hoping for a
Brevin Knight.We don;t even
have Bobby Hurley!

HBM

Ray Allen and Glenn Robinson on the same team?!?!

To paraphrase Robinson himself... "That'd be gay"

They don't like each other much, pal

Then trade Big Dog.Ray Allen probably is not a cure...but we need a real superstar
to fill the arena.Nobody wants to watch
Big/Theo/Shareef play.

BEEZ

What are you talking about its because of Robinson that you guys have a respectable record. Ray Allen fills no arenas. He is not a superstar

Yeah, Shareef is over paid and is under acheiving but if we were to trade him, we would be lucky to get any half his value. The ONLY Hawk that has trade value is Jason Terry, but he is the last guy Hawks fans want to get rid of. He's the heart and sould of the team.

Big Hog is not a difference maker.He's
not a star and he can't create his own
****.

JarvisHayes24

Hell ya I would do that trade.

Like the wolves would ever trade KG.

Grr, I think Shareef fits pretty well in the Hawks. Like it or not, but he's one of the best forwards in the league. He's certainly more useful in clutch time then someone like *cough*Webber*cough*, and stays out of injury problems like McDyees. There's no point in trading this guy. This guy is tops.

5 words...

No fans in the stands

That's why we have a mediocre
5-4 record.

Damian Necronamous

Oh yeah...that's fair

If the Hawks start winning more, then they would get more fans. Stars don't sell tickets, winning teams do. JWill going to Memphis didn't help the sales at all.

Hotlantadude198

Well we were winning with Smith
as our best player in the mid 90's
and we still didn't sell tickets.

What's the attendance like anyway? o_0 I don't live in Atlanta. It can't be that bad, though. At least most of the seats are full, right? Can't be worse than Vancouver or Memphis' attendance.

Sounds to me like the problem is the fans, not the stars. There isn't enough basketball fans in Atlanta.

JarvisHayes24

Basketball fans are in the city, the big highschools like Marrietta get huge turn outs. I would say the average at Philips Arena is like 8-10,000. But that's just an estimate, I don't have the exact stats.
