    Re: Players On and Off the Market 2016

    Now that's a rebuild , all these players being groomed to come in as players retired obviously hasn't worked at all.
    These should have been the next era for the Hawks
    Bring back the biff

    The best thing about the Hawks 'rebuild' is they have no currency in the draft to actually pick up high end talent.

    Or next year's draft too. They obviously believe they can plunder the free agency market to offset a talent deficiency. Ask Collingwood how that works as a strategy with them investing in better than fringe players with injury issues and $3,500,000 in salary. If they can't plunder good free agents, then they're royally screwed when a huge hole in their list becomes evident.

    They'll farm out another 2 or 3 next trade period - they have to.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
