Hakeem and Clyde ain't show up for this.

Hawks are going to be a good team next year. Dwight actually picked a team that fits him real well. Not really any egos on that team, good coach, bunch of shooters, his hometown and he gets to still be the biggest star on the team.

Yea I said that earlier.

Baze back to the Hawks

4yrs/70 mil

perplexing. We'll remember this day as the day that created the lockout

its no wonder espn is hemorrhaging. Overpaying for everything.

no doubt its coming. Book it. And this one will last a LONG time

Sources: Hawks aren't ruling out possibility that they could bring back Al Horford. If he decides to stay, ATL has ways to unload salary.

Nevertheless, Horford's contract talks have been ongoing w/ Hawks, sources say. He's been pursuing max deal. Now comes hard choice for him.

I doubt it

NBA owners have seen this coming
NBA sent a memo to them before NBA owners approved few weeks ago
Plus ad jerseys are coming

Owners are going to make a lot of money

 

[buc em]

Milsap is the perfect stretch 4 to put alongside Dwight, there's no point in signing Horford back

 

[mr jordan04]

Mike Conley!?

I also think it's gonna happen. Mediocre players getting paid crazy millions. Can't see it continue happening

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

biggest contract in nba history goes to ...


mike conley?

owners have always been making money. Don't fool yourself. With more money come more money spent.

Mo money, mo problems.

There will be a lockout.

 

[T0INE]

Pure craziness.

 

[casper90403]

A guy who's never been an all star is now the highest paid player.

This is why there will be a lockout. The dudes at the top will have a big say as to whether things continue. No doubt Lebron is pissed he can't make $50M+ per.

With this new cap, whats the new veterans minimum?

 

[EddieDoyers]

Owners ain't gonna have a lockout that will go on long
They would be missing out on potential revenues if they were to drag it on

 

[art vandelay]

What are the Cavs gonna do, what's their situation money wise

 

[MVP]

Per Chris Hayes:

According to sources, a trade that's been pondered in recent days featured Hawks forward Paul Millsap and collection of picks owned by Suns.

ATL should send Sefolosha to NY for a 2nd rounder

Who says they won't get a big contract when their current contract runs out?
If anything, the other leagues players association are going to have lockouts that will run long, not the NBA. These guys be eating right now. They are on that MLB steez right now
