Hawks fans really despise us after visiting Peach Tree Hoops lol. They still think their current roster can beat us.

Well, had Bradley and Olynyk not been injured I'm pretty sure we would've taken Game 1, and left the Hawks dead in 6 games before getting ousted by the Cavaliers.

Now that we added Al Horford (and a few more to come) to play under Brad Stevens system, this team will demolish the Atlanta Hawks.

It definitely can and probably will, as of right now, imo.

If that's the case, then good job Al. Sleep on that decision. Glad to see you made the RIGHT choose!

David Alridge hasn't exactly been reliable anymore. His info and his insight seems like he just copy pasted what someone else is saying, or thinking.

They beat us in 6, but since then weve added Avery Bradley, Kelly Olynyk(basically), Al Horford, and Jaylen Brown while losing Evan Turner. They lost Teague and Horford and got back Prince Howard and splitter(?) Also take into account the fact that we were the younger team and its pretty logical to say we have a superior roster to them at this point.

And none of that even takes into account the fact that Crowder was hobbled pretty badly that series

They didn't "lose" Teague -- they got rid of him because Schroder made him redundant. Other than that, they replaced Horford with Howard. Injuries or no injuries, our roster is not any more superior than it was last season. Probably less.

Thats a nice way to frame it, but Teague is still a big loss. Even if you think Schroeder can adequetely replace Teagues production (which I doubt) their backup pg will pale in comparison to Schroeder.

Replaced Horford with Howard is fair, but we replaced Sully with Horford. You can argue Howard > Horford but the contracts the two of them just signed disagrees with that assessment. I think Howards probably the better player but the gap between Howard and Horford is a lot smaller than the one between Horford and Sullinger furthermore, however backs up Schroeder (Hardaway?) is gonna be a lot worse than Schroeder was. Everyone has injuries but I think its unfair to just ignore the fact that 3 of our 5 best shooters were hurt that series allowing them to completely focus on Thomas.

Is this for real? Did you read the title of this thread? We got Al horford. They lost al horford.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

Right. They also signed Dwight Howard. And we lost Evan Turner. We'll probably end up losing other rotation guys, too. Come back to talk when the free agency high wears out.

they probably thought Horford would give in to less money b/c he's probably done it before, maybe he's like Wade, tired of taking less to help the team when at this point there is no reason for either one to do it. Probably boils down to repaying loyalty but I haven't checked the numbers on his previous deal so I could be way off.

we only have to lose others if KD or some replacements sign...

Teagues a bigger loss than Turner is. I'd imagine that's a fairly uncontroversial statement. Also Sully for Horford is a clear win and since we are dismissing injuries i suppose we have to use regular season records to compare. Both teams won 48 games since then Bostons improved more than Atlanta ergo Bostons roster is superior to Atlanta's

Apart from ET, if we don't sign KD, we don't have to lose anybody from last season's roster.

DA could simply resign the others, add Al Horford and call it an offseason. In this case, would there be any doubt Cs roster was better than last year's?I don't think so.

Given that,  IF Danny doesn't bring the band together and decide to change pieces, he probably believes the team will be getting better by not doing so. Any FA that eventually replaces Zeller, Sully or JJ is suposed to be better in terms of production/contract, otherwise Danny wouldn't give up on them.

Did you miss the part where they VOLUNTARILY traded away Teague? As in, they didn't want him? That's how much of a loss they thought he was.

You may think that Sullinger to Horford is a greater upgrade than Horford to Howard. You're welcome to your opinion. As I said, come back when the "ohmigodwesignedhorfordz" wears out.
