    Since when is 13 and 4 in 27 minutes playing like an All Star?

    Pachulia is nothing special, but he is not garbage.

    Exactly. ZaZa, would be a solid addition. But we dont have the MLE anymore, so you would be talking S&T. I think the Hawks would want to keep ZaZa. I am not sure how we can get this done. But ZaZa is a solid player.

    Atlanta doesn't have very many players under contract. They could be angling for 2010. If that's the case, they may be willing to do a SNT for a one year rental just to have bodies on the roster next season. In which case, Barry and/or Cook could be attractive to them since otherwise they'd lose Zaza for nothing and they won't have to go out and sign a handful of players to one year deals.

    Yeah, I'd be willing to bet ZaZa gets a contract at around the full MLE.

    TMac and KG are standing with their legs slightly apart.

    I suggest you look at games 2, 3, 4, and 5. I think he got injured in game 6 and had no points. Jermaine played really well offensively in those games.

    I doubt it. He is solid, but not that solid.

    agreed 100%, as a starter he is average, but as yao's backup he would be great

    WOW. The regular guys have thicker calves than T-Mac.
    The calves on T-Mac are ridiculously skinny. It's amazing he can get as much lift as he does with so little muscle.

    Exactly. After Morey squandered all the MLE on Ariza, we have nothing left to acquire Pechulia. If he can pull that off, I'll reign in my criticism, although I'll never forgive his Gay mistake. Heck, we'll be lucky if we can grab Chandler, Petro or the very fragile Robert Swift.

    The best thing about Pachulia is

    His absurdly great sense of style.

    I think Robert Swift already signed with the Celtics summer league team and Patrick O'Bryant is not a free agent.

    20 bucks to the tip jar says it starts at over 4 mill.

    A more proven player than Gortat. And people don't like him?

    I would much rather have him Pachulia then Gortat. Pachulia can also play PF if we have to let go of Landry and Cook(lol).

    If Swift shows he can be a good player in the summer league for the Celtics, maybe the Rockets could trade a future 2nd rounder for him or something.

    He could be the next Maciej Lampe.

    Swift has not signed with the Celtics, just their summer league team. So technically we can still sign him. Wafer played with New York's summer league team last year.

    Who is the Sekou guy from the Hawks blog, and how good are his supposed "spies"?
