TO do that even more, they should build around JJ and trade their young talent like the celtics did. I'd like to see a c's/hawks rivalry. They are in position to get Kobe or J O'neal even. They got enough pieces to entice the lakers thats for sure.

So the Hawks are going to get the fans back by trading away their young players? Hmm not sure if that would work.

To get Gasol, Kobe or JO it would sure. They gotta get a few more proven leaders at least. Your dumb owner needs to take dannys example.

Well..

ATL tried to trade for Gasol. Memphis said no.
Kobe is not leaving Los Angeles.
And frankly it would kinda depend on the trade for Jermaine O'Neal. He's always missing games every season.

But I do think if ATL traded their young players, a lot of people would go "Damn, there they go again.."

meltinjohn

I don't mean trade the youth for just ok vets like Kenny Thomas or SAR. I mean superstar vets. I won't use the Abdur Rahim for Gasol trade as an explanation either bcause imo, Shareef proved ****.

why dont we stick with the youth... try to improve them... and have someone to call our own... that would be much exciting...

I saw a life sized Josh Smith banner today. Good stuff. I think if this team starts to get on a roll, the city will support because they will play an entertaining brand of basketball and let's be honest the Falcons aren't getting it done and hockey is a joke.

When Kobe goes on the market, the Hawks' owners need to put on the full court press, including supplying him with a personal harem when he visits Atnalta. A JJ for Kobe based trade would surely put the Hawks back in the picture. Atnalta will need to toss in some pieces like Marvelous Marvin Williams, Childress, plus one of their overpaid point guards. But they'd have a killer squad with Kobe, Josh, and Little Tito.
