Just for the record Atlanta does have more talent and is in a better position than us. Their two best players are better than our two best players. They have two nice draft selections and cap space.

Josh Smith vs. Eddy Curry

JS 16.4pts 8.6rbs 3.3ass 2.9blks 1.4stls AGE: 21
EC 19.5pts 7.0rbs 0.8ass 0.5blks 0.4stls AGE: 24

JJ 25pts 4.2rbs 4.4ass 1.0stls 47%fg 38%3fg
SM 16.4pts 2.9rbs 5.4ass 1.0stls 42%fg 36%3fg

Its not really an assumption when the hawks are healthy we never beat them, they are not going to do the deal to take paul, they have marvin williams and josh childress showing promise. They have the ability to trade those guys and get something good......

Lee and Balkman are right there as far as young guys go as well, but you have to factor in the 3 and 11. If they decide to go small something the nba is doing horford could play center since he has a 7'3 winspan and is 6'11 in shoes......And the landlord is going to be a nice guy off the bench.....

So there is no comparison as far as talent

so just by comparing numbers, you came up with this "just for the record" assumption....

Really what do those numbers mean? why did you leave out the fact that curry shoots damn near 60% from the field, and honestly curry has become a go to player, josh smith is the third or 4th option on a team with one legit offensive player and that is Joe johnson..

Then you basically reduce lee and balkman, guys who have proven it on the pro level, guys who have put up double doubles on numerous occasions(lee averaged a double/ double) to that of rookies who have not played an NBA game. How does that make sense?

Josh childress is a nice player but he and marvin have been hurt quite a bit, I know for a fact that many season ticket holders would love to see one if not both gone, and then you are trying to sell us on shelden williams being a nice player off the bench, while lee and balkman are no better than the 3rd and 11th pick in a draft that falls off in talent tremendously after pick #2......

Just for the record..... I am not buying what you are trying to sell..
