  1. Not gonna lie, it's been tough seeing teams above us make moves to actively improve their roster, while all we did this off-season was make cost cutting moves to get under the luxury tax.

    I'm hoping/expecting that guys like JJ, AJ, and Bey become MAJOR contributors to this team this season to get us in that upper echelon in the east.

    Surprise Landing Spots for NBA's Most Rumored Trade Targets

    Paul George to Atlanta

    Buzz about Paul George potentially being moved picked up a little steam recently, following an FnA Podcast appearance by veteran NBA reporter Howard Beck, in which he said the eight-time All-Star is "certainly available."

    "They're not trying to give him away, but they are trying to pivot, and they do have, I think, a franchise-wide frustration with the way that this era has gone," Beck added.

    Lack of availability is a concern with George, and there's a good chance that impacts his trade value, but he could still be a difference-maker for a number of teams.

    I would offer Capela, Hunter, Gay and the SAC 2024 1st) for PG13 and Zubac
    Hawks remain under the tax!
    LAC also reduces their Luxury Tax bill further after the Gordon release.
    Start OO, Zu the backup.

     

    Trae/Bufkin

    DJ/Bogi

    PG13/AJ

    JJ/Bey

    OO/Zu

    Don't you have to wait like 60 days before you can aggregate a recently traded for player in a trade again? Or has that gone away within the new CBA?

     

    OR, could we expand the JC deal to be a 3-teamer to try a pry PG from LA?

    Decision day tomorrow on Bruno and Garrison.  Will the Hawks guarantee their contracts? Yes or No?

    I think we should guarantee Bruno's deal. Based on free agent centers that are available, he would be one of the best who would expect a vet min deal.

    My personal opinion (just an opinion) is they're considering throwing that exception or at least a good bit of it at Rui Hachimura or Kyle Kuzma but that's just my speculation.

    As a sign-and-trade? I thought you can't use the trade exception to sign players in free agency.

    It's possible were better off but I think it's unlikely.  Bogi is constantly injured and is not really on the same timeline as the rest of our core.  Kevin didn't play well this past playoffs, but he was a very valuable piece in the playoff run we did make, on this team...  Philly gets to the ECF if not for Kev.  I think his contract is going to look like an absolute steal if he gets even incrementally better as it's already a solid team-friendly deal.

    The Murray trade honestly hamstrung us pretty bad and feels like another instance of ownership impatience that derails a rebuild.  I don't think we're hopeless or anything like that, but we absolutely made it harder on ourselves.  We needed another ball handler but I don't think it should have been a PG -- really needed a pure wing player ball handler (wish it could be Hunter...) and perimeter defender.  If Murray's perimeter defense was good, I'd feel much better about the assets we gave up but it was not good last year.  Anyways, that trade cascaded into the Heurter trade by creating a log jam we still haven't really resolved at SG.

    All water under the bridge now, but I can see why Schlenk would not want to make that trade and why his vision was at odds with Resslers.  Schlenk had his faults (mostly overpaying extensions) but he never lacked patience when it came to our rebuild.  Ressler's impatience coupled with his aversion to pay the tax has landed us in this hamster wheel -- he's created a situation that puts a ton of pressure on the new coaching staff.

    No, worst case is we ship off a player to get under the tax and attach a first rounder.

    I don't think the front office views him as an asset you would have to attach picks to get off of, otherwise that kind of trade would've already happened by now.
