I'm sorry but with national media finally saying we want 2 1sts and a good player for Murray. There is no way we just trade Trae for our picks back. All-NBA Trae Young is not going anywhere anytime soon.

There’s a good chance it’s just for these two West coast games.  Take the time to stay home, rest and heal up a bit.  Hopefully he’ll be available for the Friday Mavs game.  6 game home stand end of Jan beginning of Feb.

 

That would be great, but given the reason they wanted Trae to stay home for the Heat game, they want to showcase Murray as a PG to the league. As long as he balls out, he'll be gone by the deadline. 

Trae Young injury update: Hawks star placed in concussion protocol, out indefinitely

Welp we are definitely about to tank now. DJM probably will probably be traded soon to improve our draft pick. 

Remember when we thought Big O would turn into a defensive monster Center? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Patty mills changed the game with his defense... Go Patty

I want more of this from Patty; I don't know how much more he has in the tank though. 

Why was Quinn yelling at Bogi on that play? Multiple guys didn't run back on defense.

why r ppl so suddenly enamored w/ what djm's done the last 2 games? We've had 1.5yr to evaluate his fit. If anything I am hoping the last 2 games pushes his value up so some team will give us a better deal than what we've been offered.

Nobody is saying he suddenly fits and to not trade him. We are only saying that the proposed trades do not give us back adequate value for his skills. We would rather pull him off the market and see what the team can do the last half of the season before we just give him away. Revisit trading him in the offseason when other teams know they will need a PG for their roster.

This was in a down season for Clint. 

I look at the FGA and %. That to me is the quantifiable "Trae effect". Clint is not getting 8 shots a game on any other team and Robinson would be getting more than 4 shots a game playing with Trae.

Much better than Grimes or Dlo!

This is a parody Shams account. Not a real report from him.

Well, you have to start from the fact that OG's numbers are much better than Dejounte's:

Then you have to factor economics into the situation.  OG is an UFA who you will have to pay a lot more for in FA and who could possibly walk.  Since DM costs a lot less and is under contract for 4 years, he must be worth less. 

Therefore, when you add it all up the return on trading OG >> DJ.

What OG numbers are better? And how does DJM being under contract for 4 years make him worth less than a UFA that you will have to overpay for? Did you just troll us?

Reading this thread we should be getting a protected first from Clint + 2 picks for Dre + 2 Picks & and Young Player for DJM. All while shedding these contracts from our books with expiring contracts so we can completely retool our team in one summer.

Delusion

 

None of that has been seriously said. 

You can shame us all you want, but a DJM trade with the return centerpiece being Grimes is a horrible deal. We feel he has more value than that, and we have the right to feel this way as fans. 

If we need to tear it down and rebuild a bit, fine let's do that. But just getting rid of DJM for minimal value is not how we start that process. You don't trade your second-best player for a role player. Keep him and remove other pieces like Capela, Hunter, Bogi, etc.

Question.  What if we brought Levine or Derozen in?  Would this help the Hawks anf Trae?  They're both go to guys that could get to the line.  Think about it.  Both have some size.  6-6 and 6-8

I would prefer Derozan since he would be a free agent and hopefully sign for a cheaper deal, or we SnT him for assets, or we just let him walk and use the money in free agency.

Levine seems like he will be a headache. He wouldn't be a willing #2 option, in my opinion. 

@Sothron @Mikey @NBASupes @Vol4ever @thecampster

Should our deal happen faster now that the Siakam deal is completed. Or do we start asking for more value based on his trade?

So far I haven’t heard one trade rumor that sounds appealing.  
Lottery magic is a little interesting.  Getting a top 4 pick would be nice.  
Nets can demand two firsts for DFS, Jazz ask for four picks for Markannen.  We get Wiggins, Grimes, or Reaves.  I don’t get it.  

That is more media magic. The Hawks only get talked about when mentioning what other teams have offered for our players. The teams they like get their wants posted as the asking price. We don't actually know what LF is asking for for DJM.

I don’t disagree. Kind of hard to trust the FO…so I’m a bit negative by default. But very good point.

the thought is we can draft another star and it never happens so I can’t argue with anything you’re saying.

This is what I see when people mention trading Trae and trying to draft the next star.
 

We already went to the ECF with Trae as our star, let's stop acting like he can't get us there again. 

Moves need to happen. Point blank, this team has gone as far as it can go and needs change.
