Welcome to Atlanta, Jason Collins
Barring something unforeseen, I think it’s safe to say that the signing of Jason Collins will be the last roster move the Hawks make before the start of training camp. Collins signed late yesterday, but we were able to catch up to him this morning as he completed his physical with the team:
Collins rep is as a terrific leader and locker room guy, and as he said in the piece, you can never have too much depth in the frontcourt. It’s hard to say how much PT he’ll get during the season, but there’s plenty of time to sort that out going forward.
With about 3 1/2 weeks left until the start of camp, taking a look at the roster at present, the Hawks are shaping up like this:
Guards: Mike Bibby, Jeff Teague, Joe Johnson, Jamal Crawford
Wings: Marvin Williams, Maurice Evans
Bigs: Josh Smith, Al Horford, Zaza Pachulia, Joe Smith, Jason Collins, Randolph Morris
I’ve said it many times over the course of the offseason, but I’ll say it once again – hats off to Rick Sund and his crew for the work they’ve done to put this squad together. No offense to the guys who’ve worn the Hawks unis the past few years, but I’d say that’s easily the deepest this team has been since I’ve been here.
Can training camp get here already so we can get this show on the road?

i think Gerald Green would be a good pickup, considering we only really have 2 wing players, and even though Mo has reshaped his body, Green is a insurance policy incase Marv or Mo goes down. I like his game, but i would LOVE his game if was in this offseason developing a consistent jumpshot and improving his dribble penatration…….Just a thought………CHUUUUUUUUUCH
Now. A good veteran playmaker to help Bibby.
Carlos Arroyo?
Gooood choice Carlos Arroyo.
Somebody wake me when the season starts! I’m ready to see the team in action.
Roster Options:
PG) Mike Bibby; Carlos Arroyo; Jeff Teague
SG) Joe Johnson; Jamal Crawford;
SF) Josh Smith; Marvin Williams;
PF) Al Horford; Joe Smith
C) Zaza Pachulia; Jason Collins; Randolph Morris
Carlos Arroya? Gerald green sounds good but i dont know about arroya. I dont even think I know who he is…………..give me a second to google him lol
Oh! Carlos Arroyo with the magic. I know him and yea he would be a good backup point…..even starter potential if the unthinkable happened…..god forbid and injuries. But im happy with our roster, if we snag siler i believe we would be stacked.
BUT, I still want flip……………(sniff)
Oh, Twin on the Hawks now. LOL I’m gonna call Jason Collins, Twin. Glad to have a 7 footer on the squad. 2009-2010 is another opportunity for the Hawks to take another step toward being elite. Anybody who signs on to help is alright with me. Hawks Squad in 2010. The additions of vets is great for this team. Mike Bibby is the best example of what adding a vet will do. Two straight playoff appearances since his arrival.
