Rudy Gay?!?! So is he going to be moving too once this deal is completed?

So that is the reason why they held up the Collins trade for or it was something else but regardless it was a master play by the FO (It still might not happen but if it does, I be happy about it) @TheFuzz That would be a negative there, because of Siakam does, he will get a better deal since he is good wing player that is very good in defense.

Mikey, They (NBASupers, Soth and Camp) been putting this information way before anybody else does. I let you in on a little secret here that we got over 45 Members browsing but in reality maybe more since most of those guys will not log in and most of them will have scouts or other folks that will give them information to them second-hand. Mikey, it is up to you if you dont want to give them credit but they are putting their necks out for us Hawks fans and they should be commend for it.

Nice jobs, insiders and the other deal should be tonight or tomorrow?

For all of the stuff you talk about, I dont see any solutions or ideas that the Hawks can do to make you happy (I think you were like this too during our ECF run and 60-win season). I think you just hate this team.

He is one of the beat writers for Raptors and he was one of the first one that called Dennis going to Raptors. Even those guys from RealGM does take his words kinda seriously but I can see us do a 3 to 1 trade but what would be those three pieces?

Yeah, I can understand that now, sometimes you have to make the toughest choices to get what you want. John was a good player that left it on the court each and every game, part of me would love for him to stay as a Hawk for a long time but you need flexibility in this NBA world now. Like I say, NBA is going to down to two schools of building teams. The Phoenix way and the Denver way. I dont know which path they will choose but Denver way is much more accessible than Phoenix way.

I would think that the Spurs would fund the deal for some picks

@Peoriabird He was just asking a question not coming up with 2k sports garbage besides @Gray Mule will not come up with something like that as a trade proposal.

Probably going to Miami. Oh well, at least we save money on what I dont know and we are the one of the youngest teams in the league and we want to get even younger?

That is the million dollar question right there! Where do this team want to be right now.

Yeah you are going to have two different types of team building. Phoenix with their super team but crappy bench and Denver with a balanced team with controllable contacts

I will like to see if Dame will be screaming that he wants to get away from Portland and for us.....We are just going to do trades!

Because he wants to be here in Atlanta and nowhere else, think about it we got players like Kyrie, Harden and KD that wanted to trade request even know that it will cripped the incoming team. We got those like Dame that is loyal, but his eyes are always looking for that opportunity and try to not make himself the bad guy. Yeah, Trae gets our nerves with his 30 - 40ft three pointers or playing crappy defense but you can tell that he embraced this city as his home and we embraced him as well. Faults and all. Besides if we can deal with Josh Smith trying to shot threes or our luck with 1st round picks thought-out the years. We can deal with Trae and his stunts.

Ummm........No comment on that one. Since you are a insider now, @bleachkit, what you think the Hawks should do But there is some smoke right now

and then we get into the tax and you will be saying "Stop the Tax, Stop the Tax" when our pick goes to the end of the round (just imagine, you get the number one pick but it has to be push all the way back to the end of the round because of the tax). But at the end of the day, I know it sucks that we have to do a salary dump but it is what it is and this team will be still in the running for the playoffs and so much more (if we dont make it, we will have two first round picks next year......tentative).

@Spud2nique I got two names and both names are going to be piss off alot of fans more but keep your eye on Houston. I am not connected like our insiders but thanks to Utah get Collins and OKC, there is only a few teams will have cap space to added on players and Houston is one of them and we know who they wanted.

For trading Capela, they might do it after the new year starts but I got a feeling that he and one other is about to be traded. It is my gut feeling, I guess.

Diesel, This is not a salary Dump at all, it is a prelude to another move (a bigger move).

It looks like they are making space right now? For what I dont know.

But here is the question about that, if you do something like that, would it applied that Capella will be staying here ( For me I think him and Hunter is about to go soon)

It is crazy to read some of these comments about this trade. I know that we could get more from it and in hindsight they could have but there was a reason why they went light on it. There has to be another trade that is coming down the line where this team needs that exception or something else. But at the end of the day, dont blame Fields for doing this, right now it was product of bad contracts, the new CBA and just not having the right pieces. To John, Thank you for your service here and you always came in and did your job to the best of your ability and I know that Utah will flourish with you there.

Yeah I think you need to cover your eyes for a while since Trae is face of this franchise and he might be those things atleast he try, I think Hunter might be better off with another team right now.
