I know it stings to lose some fan favorites, but, objectively how good are the guys that have left?
Here are ESPN's grades...

Golden Tate: B+
Breno Giacomini: C+
Red Bryant: C+
Chris Clemons: C+
Clinton McDonald: C+
O'Brien Schoefield: C+
Walter Thurmond: C+ (not technically gone yet, but likely)
Sidney Rice: C-
Brandon Browner: D (seems a bit of a harsh grade if it is on talent alone)
Chris Maragos: D (although maybe not fair as that is his ranking as a S & I'm not sure factors in his ST value)
Not wanting to bag on guys who played a roll in the Hawks SB win, but thought this provided a little perspective. Primarily we've lost C+ talent.
