Here's a new Hawks article
When I read it, it was making a little bit of sense...until I read this
Quote:
Step 3: Sign-and-Trade Al Harrington and Salim Stoudamire to Denver for Kenyon Martin.
The Hawks don’t need Al Harrington, the Nuggets don’t want Kenyon Martin. Despite K-Mart’s tendency for injury, he is still a very passionate, hardworking defensive power forward in this league. His playoff experience and overall fearless moxie would help motivate a team laced with guys still too young to drink. His defensive prowess, combined with that of Josh Smith and Shelden Williams, would instantly make the Hawks a team that played with their heart on their sleeve and fire in their eyes night in and night out. Not to mention, K-Mart is the type of blue collar, hard nosed athlete fans in Atlanta would appreciate and eventually grow to love. His attitude would immediately raise the Hawks in the standings, and allow Shelden Williams the ability to transition slowly into the lineup.
In order to make this deal work, the Hawks would also satisfy the Nuggets need for a shooter by including backup guard Salim Stoudamire in the deal. This allows the Nuggets to rid themselves of the player Coach George Karl loathes, while bringing in a superior combo forward to compliment Carmelo Anthony. Atlanta also fills out its front line rotation very nicely with this addition.

After that nothing he said made sense to me.
