You have JJ, Crawford, Teague, Bibby ? at the guards; none of which are great defensive players. The reason that the Hawks are attempting to lure Chillz back is because of the fact that Marvin, Moe, & next year's 2nd round pick are the only carrots available to obtain a Center. S & T with Marvin's projected 6-8 mil per year and Moe's 2.5 mil will allow the Hawks to do such. Chillz was the best on the ball defender, best all around, best bball IQ, and possibily the best rebounder. Every team needs a solid 6th man with multiple skills. For the Hawks; it is Chillz and they know it. His persence eliminates the need of Flip and Moe as well as provide them with a defensive stopper for the Lebrons, Wades, Pierces, etc. which they will have to face in payoffs. To date, Crawford and the eventual signing of Bibby with JJ & Teague will solidify the guards. JSmoove and the resigning of Chillz will do the same for SF group. Al is a PF period and a backup PF are a dime dozen. The Center position is the must improve position if the Hawks are serious about being a contender. Marvin is the carrot!!! ZaZa is affordable at 5-6 mil per year and Solo is an easy sign(career back up). Sund follow my lead and may be wearing a Championship ring, soon!
