Pete and John have both gotten worse over the years
Completely disagree with this.
They had a totally unrivaled competitive advantage by having all of their talent on rookie contracts, and IMO have probably done much better than most people expected in locking up that core and keeping their window open. It's not that they've gotten worse, it's just that there jobs have gotten much, much, much harder (dealing with the cap; having their coaches and mid-tier starters picked off each off-season because they're good, etc.)
If you were expecting them to be consistently landing All Pros in the later rounds throughout their tenure with the Hawks the problem is simply that your expectations were unrealistic and way too high.
I'd be very surprised if they're not both extended by August.
