Yeah, we need to trade Capella or OO right now and this is just crazy right now.

But Sarr is 19 years old, and he might still be growing like how Giannis was when it first came out. Yeah, this is some major league trolling.

Then again, nobody through in their right mind that the Falcons will draft a QB with the 8th pick while sending over 180 million for a F/A QB. Never say never when it comes down to decisions like that.

I wish we can trade the pick but that will be crazy but what are we going to do with the rest of the Center room?

So in a draft that there is no superstar and consider to be one of the weakest draft and we get #1? Yea, that is so the Hawks.

I understand, but we cannot continue to spin our wheels and wait for change. No player, including Trae or JJ, is untouchable if it means improving the team. Playing it safe will only result in us consistently landing picks 10 - 15 every year, and that's not acceptable anymore. I

The truth is, there aren't many players who will fulfill our needs in perimeter/POA defense without us having to sacrifice something valuable. I have my reservations about BI too, but currently, our options are limited unless we're prepared to trade Trae or JJ.

Well if Lebron does not resign with Lakers, that pick becomes gold and you can use that pick, one of two picks this year and any player that will give you a bigger fish in the sea.

The current trade, which includes OO and DJ for BI, Dyson Daniels, as well as LAL's first and '21, is viewed as a favorable deal. Although losing OO and not acquiring Jones is a downside, the benefit of having two draft picks this year and two next year (SAC/LAL) is significant. Moreover, if LBJ departs from the Lakers, their chances of making the playoffs in the West diminish, thereby increasing the value of that pick.

Today's question is: If OO is traded to NO, should we retain Capela or trade him to another team? I appreciate the OO/DJ trade, which will provide us with two picks in this draft (not ideal for this draft) or serve as leverage for another significant trade.

So get BI, Daniels, 21 and LA 2025 1ST for DJ and OO. Hmm, that is a good deal for sure, since we still have Sac 25 1st as well, you can get a good player in a trade with those picks.

and that superstar has Big Apple Dreams as well? But you know that is a pipe dream but nice one indeed.

I like to see some of them (getting the flamethrower ready)

I don't think the Magic will proceed with that, even though Murray would be a nice acquisition for them; they probably want us to add a pick to that deal.

Any trade involving Murray would need to include draft picks, given his significant contract and the likelihood of other teams offering less desirable players. Currently, an upgrade is necessary by any means possible.

And those don't grow on trees. Plus, I don't want to pay BI that much money either, but... it is what it is.

Do you believe the Cavs or Pels would trade talents like Jones or Allen? I doubt it, but if it does happen, I'll be pleased, though it seems like a pipe dream.

So we are going to trade DJM, OO, AJ for Herbert Jones, Jarrent Allen and Caris LaVert? Nope, that is not good deal at all.

I dont really think that Pels is going to give up Herb Jones at all and we have to give up a 10 too. To me, i will not do any deals without picks going our way and nothing else.

But the question is......Who wants Hunter?

It looks like somebody is reading the board again

Indeed, acquiring one or two first-round picks would be beneficial for facilitating future deals (I have a hunch that OO/Hunter/AJ might be traded this summer too). @Sothron, I'm pleased to see your Wolves performing well, but I'm curious if they reach the Finals, will they retain the entire roster and pay the luxury tax?

This brings us back to the initial question: which player(s) will step up to assist the Hawks now? It's important to remember that we lack draft capital and, aside from a few, the players are not meeting expectations.

It seems you're not considering Ingram at all. However, we must entertain all options, including Ingram and others. Doing nothing could result in losing Trae, and currently, there aren't any better options available. Unless, of course, you're considering WLOC once more?
