I’m aware his contract WAAAYY overpays him and that he has MAJOR flaws in his game (defensively and as a high volume/low efficiency scorer) but would anyone else be interested in trading for Andrew Wiggins? I think his size and slashing game would be a nice contrast/complement to Trae Young’s and maybe Pierce can work on his defense. Again: Not a perfect player but perhaps worth the risk? Anyone else feel similarly?

I’m not saying it’s likely or even that I myself would do it, but with the recent drama between Kawhi Leonard and the Spurs I’m curious if you all would attempt to trade for him. (This scenario assumes we get a pick in the the #3-#6 range and miss out on Ayton and Doncic; if we DID get a top 2 pick we definitely keep it IMO). Would you all be willing to trade Bazemore, our lottery pick, the Wolves pick, and the Rockets pick for Kawhi? Would San Antonio scoff at such an offer? I have to admit I hate to give up a pick we tanked all season for but I think Leonard is the type of cornerstone player you do it for. He’s easily one of the best two way players in the league and he and Bud were pretty close from what I recall reading. By himself Kawhi doesn’t make us a contender but in another year once Plumlee’s contract comes off the books...make an offer to Klay Thompson...we might have something. Any thoughts?

I don't watch a lot of college hoops so I have a question for those that do: Is there a former or current player that is comparable to Collins? Just from what I saw in the videos you all posted is Amare Stoudamire a fair comparison?

I got this email too but I didn't see any mention of an actual draft party. Am I missing it in the message?

Does anyone know if they're doing a draft party this year? They usually do one at Phillips but with the renovations going on I wasn't sure if it's still happening. Just wondering; my buddies and I always have a blast at them every year.

If we had Carmelo starting in the Bazemore spot would it move the needle for us? IMO Dennis, Hardaway, Melo, Sap, and Dwight matches up VERY WELL with Cleveland and honestly they're the only legitimate contender in the east. I believe Carmelo has a no trade clause so everything is moot if he's happy in New York but if he's NOT would Bazemore, Splitter (filler) and a protected 1st be too much too little or just right? (I'm honestly curious) So 1) Would you? 2) Would NY ? and 3)What would it take?

Someone mentioned this in the Dwight thread but I thought it merited its own trade forum post. If we resign Al and pick up Dwight would you all be open to trading Milsap to the Celtics for Avery Bradley and Jae Crowder? (works on the ESPN Trade Machine for what it's worth) PG Dennis SG Bradley SF Crowder PF Al C Dwight is an INSANELY gifted defensive team that's also pretty darn balanced. I think that five would REALLY give the Cavs all they could handle. Hate to lose Paul but I think I'd still do it. Thoughts?

How about Joakim Noah? Only one year left on his contract so Chicago might give him up for the right deal I've always LOVED his game, passion, and synergy with Al Solves our rim protection and rebounding problems too

Don't know if anyone mentioned it earlier in the thread but did you all read the part about mock ups for new uniforms? I love that kind of stuff and I think it's past time we moved on from our inoffensive but kind of boring current ones

I know, I know we have the best record in the east and fantastic chemistry... Still, the playoffs are gonna be a war, we need all the help we can get, and there's no margin of error (we need to plan for series against some combination of Chicago, Washington, Toronto, and Cleveland) How about David West off the bench filling the minutes Pero and Mike Scott currently play? He seems like a Bud type player; a team first vet who can shoot, pass, and has a high BBIQ He's also tough as nails, a great rebounder, and a playoff gamer (remember: he's the one who saved the Pacers in our series last year) Wouldn't you feel more confident with him out there in crunch time instead of Pero or Scott? I would offer Indy those two and our Brooklyn pick with some sort of protections on it Obviously a large contingent of the Squawk do not want to make ANY trade (and I respect that) but those of you who ARE willing to make a move do you think West would put us over the top?

While that Teague pic is blasphemous... I do love those Sonics jerseys; they remind me a lot of our classics Anyone else feel like NBA logos and jerseys reached their apex in the 80s?

I asked in a previous Homecourt thread what we needed to put us over the top and the consensus was that we lacked rebounding and shot blocking (I agree) Would Larry Sanders fix these issues for us? I don't know a ton about him (except he had some off the court issues last year) but he seems to be in that sweet spot for trades in that he fills a glaring need and would appear to be somewhat available. Like most of you I would like to ADD to our core rather than swap out a key piece. Do you think he could be had for some sort of draft pick and supplementary player combination?

Opening cavet: Super impressed with our team thus far; LOVE these Hawks and how they play together under Bud That being said... Do any of us see this teaming winning the East? Possible yes; probable no So my question to you all is this: What do we need to put us over the top? (For reference think Sheed with the 04 Pistons) Not necessarily WHO we should trade for but what attributes we lack Any ideas?

Wow the PAC/ color scheme is LEGIT!! Any idea if that is the plan in real life or is this just something you created on the game? Awesome!

I 100% agree with the last poster If the Cavs are serious about enticing LeBron back a veteran like Al looks a lot better than a rookie wing who plays the same position (Wiggins or Parker; Embiid is O-U-T) For us: Parker is a Dukie (like Ferry), is a lights out shooter (for Bud), and is probably the safest pick at #1 (for Hawksquawk :) That's three for three in my book :)
