We haven't drafted one technically in years (though we acquired Our all-time great Dominique Wilkins via trade in the 82 draft). Wilkins has been the only true star we've had, and Atlanta didn't even do right by him.
We traded him for a worthless player who didn't even want to be here. From that point on, we haven't had a guy to go out and take over on the court since.
I loved (and still do) my Mookie and Smitty backcourt in the late 90's, (and they were great and did more than a great job) but they weren't super stars that struck fear in opposing teams.
What I mean is they couldn't single handedly pick a team apart (though as a duo, they were an underrated tough two).
We've had players (at one point in their careers be super stars) on the decline that came to play here. I was on the Joe Johnson bandwagon, however, I'm not certain what happened during his tenure as a Hawk, as the last couple of seasons, he didn't seem to play all that great.
We've seen just about every other team get some type of super star (majority through the draft) in some form and fashion - and those teams like the Hawks that haven't, YOU NEED TO WRITING AN ARTICLE AS WELL!!!!
I ask you Atlanta, what’s going on????
Are you just settling as a franchise? Do you not want to get to the finals??? Though it's been a while, even the Braves have won a world series, and the Falcons got to the Super Bowl twice. Help me out here!!!! Please!
