    It certainly feels like it! But I'm excited for the press conference; because I want to be convinced otherwise. And I love to listen to people spin bullsh#t.

    I think he got wind of the Pringles nickname.

    Honestly whether you're in the love/hate d'antoni camp (put me down for hate) I'm way more interested in free agency. This is a players league not a coaches league and it won't matter who the coach is if we don't upgrade the roster

    I'd love to get Conley and Batum.

    Somehow swing a sign and trade involving Jones and Ariza for Hordford, and we're set.

    Any of this possible?


    I'd love that roster, in the Pringles can of an offense. I think it could do some damage.

    I'm actually excited to see DMo and Capela in D'antoni's offense. I'm curious to see what Clint can do starting in it. I hope he gets the chance.

    Capela
    Horford
    Batum
    Harden
    Conley

    A hopefully healthy Dmo as your sixth man. Bev playing big minutes as well. Could be a good team, especially if Dekker lives up to the hype as a 3 man.

    It would be an off season coupé, but if we can pull it off, it'd be a dream with this offense.

    If not Horford, I'd kill for Biyombo. He could instantly replace Howard's production, and he is only 23. In fact, you could make the case that he should be your number one target.

    Of course, you'd want to average about 120 a game still.

    No chance we can trade for Horford if he stays in Atlanta.

    It'd be a sign and trade. It's a long shot, as is having those four max and near max guys under contract, but it's my dream scenario.

    Ah ok, sorry, i should have understand this point and yep, this scenario would be perfect. The only problem is that i think restricted free agents like Jones and D.Mo will have some restrictions after they're signed, not sure you can trade them immediately and/or without their consensus for some months. If we free cap space for Conley and Batum i don't know if we'll have enough salary trade for a 20/25x contract like Horford...overall i think it's doable, just not that easy even if the Hawks agree to do this...

    Not a FA, that'd be tampering if he answered!

    Demographic profile... seriously? Is MDA a county, a district, or a land mass? Is MDA a subsection of a population? And here I was thinking he was just a person.

    If you want to call out the Rockets for hiring a white male, then just say so. Don't try to make yourself sound smart by using them big college words like "demographic profile". Or at least, know what those words mean before actually using them.

    :rolleyes:
