GSW has now entered the DJM sweepstakes. Variety of offers, names I'm hearing are Kuminga and Wiggins. 

Kuminga, Wiggins and unprotected/pick swaps for DJM. Get it done.

The bidding is going how the hawks want/need. Knicks appear to be ready to up their offer to accelerate this process. I still think they are the favorite by far but other suitors made it interesting. The reality of even getting back 1-2 of those picks from the spurs really changes things. I don't think the spurs are a serious suitor but its enough to slow the process rather than have made a deal on Tuesday.

Not sure how much they can up their offer if we aren't talking mutliple 1sts unprotected or Randle/Hartenstein.

Grimes is playing 15 mins and Fournier is DNP on their team right now, so why should we value them more?

Update: Spurs are probably the leading contender to get DJM at this point in time. They can not only offer our own picks back but have other real firsts and not fake firsts to offer. Keldon Johnson would be the most likely player coming back to us.

So would bringing back our picks point to a full blown rebuild?

Not all knicks fans are gonna be happy if the trade goes down.. lol

 

Typical New York fans overrating their players. Remember when Mitchell Robinson was the next Bill Russell?

I know we had talks about Herb Jones/Murphy and the lakers 1st for DJM. I'll address this whenever the DJM trade is made official and we all know what the deal is.

But yes, I would love getting him and Herb Jones.

Dejounte Murray's last game as Hawk?

When DJM is traded, and it is 100% certain he is being traded, I will go into more details about other offers we had and why they didn't work out.

Collins for TPE

Murray for a Ham Sandwich and a 2nd rounder?

What is going on Landry?

Tony regrets firing Travis but he will never say so in public. Nick has a large voice in this team. Tony is the one calling the shot to basically blow up the roster and try and fix the team to be a better fit for Quin's coaching style.

The Resslers?

I have been told DJm could be gone literally as soon as he is eligible to be traded. 

I think Mikey and I are hearing the same things in terms of what to expect back in return. I'm not allowed to say anything more than that. Not sure if Mikey has the same restriction but if a source asks to keep something mum it stays that way. 

I can just say expect him to be gone as early as he eligible to be traded. I also now know why DJM signed the extension. I won't share that until he is no longer a Hawk because it would be moot at that point as to why he signed it. 

I hate sounding cryptic but I'm trying to let you guys and gal know what's going on without betraying sources confidence.

Edit: young player PLUS picks is what I am expecting at this point. I also have been told the FO has went from buyers to sellers for several other players now. Only Trae and JJ are safe. This could be a real cleaning out the locker room and making way for rookies and young guys to play the rest of the season.

All-Star caliber young player and/or 1st round picks?

Our Defense and bench would be so bad..

No vet min guys are knocking down doors to come to Atlanta to play with Trae and KAT...

Who's starting center btw? OO? lol

 

I'm sure plenty of 3 and D players would love to sign with us with KAT & Trae. So many open 3's.

Update: We are apparently out on Siakam unless TOR changes their stance of demanding JJ back in a trade.

Hate to see Murray leave myself.  

Hated to see DJ's defense leave

I thought they would want to wait until after the season but klutch and Hawks are pushing for it before deadline 

How real is this actually going down in the next month? KAT-JJ-OO is a great frontcourt.

I'm done with the DJM experiment. Keep Trae and JJ.

@Sothron Please tell me this is false

Siakam to Atlanta seems likely now and could be done soon. Not the direction I would choose to go but owning his rights if he wants to leave in the offseason at least gives us something to work with.

Soon as in 24 hrs?

Popovich scammed us. Murray is really Mike Bibby without the jumper.
