  1. I don’t doubt that. But Ressler isn’t a scout. He doesn’t know any better unless you literally tell him you’re trading the second coming of Bird. I guarantee you, Travis had Luka and Trae graded similar and that’s what was communicated to Ressler. So of course Ressler went with money + same skill level. That’s on Travis.
  2. I will say… Luka has never looked half this good with 12 guarding him
  3. The thing about Luka is he doesn’t take a bad shot. He can get separation, or he has the size to shoot over you, or the strength to bully under the basket. Just easy buckets.
  4. Nope. Scouting failure. You rely on your GM to tell you if there’s a generational talent you’re about to trade. The conversation was probably that they’re on the same tier which was flat out wrong. Most of us knew this on draft night.
  5. That just leaves someone else wide open to score on us lol
  6. We miss Dre more than most people on here want to admit. We can’t stop a sneeze on D. His replacement, Bey, is giving us nothing. And Capela is a negative at this point. And outside of Bogi and OO, we have no bench. So when you get a couple injuries, our depth is cooked.
  7. To whoever made the call to trade Luka - I hate you.
  8. Cap and Bey are negatives on the floor at this point.
  9. Build around Trae/JJ/Claxton Hopefully get lucky-ish in the lotto and take the best wing. Then you'd have DJM, AJ, Kobe, OO, and whatever we have left in draft assets to try and add that final piece...if it's not DJM.
  10. I think the play is to hold on to DJM until the offseason, and try to shed enough salary so we can make a splash in free agency (Claxton). Means you'd have to turn Capela and either Dre or Bogi into expiring's now.
  11. Don't pick a different team to cheer for. Just pick a favorite non-Hawks player to follow. It was Iverson then Kobe for me. Now it's Luka.
  12. I’m just going to wait and see what happens before renouncing my fandom lol Ressler doesn’t want to pay the tax so safe to assume he cares about his money. I’m sure he’s aware of the financial consequences on this franchise if its superstar walks out the door.
  13. Trae/Grimes/Jones/JJ/Claxton Just say F it and sell out on defense lol But seriously…those NOP picks probably end up as mid-late firsts if they have a core of DJM/Ingram/Zion. Better off seeing what happens with KAT this summer. I love what DJM has been giving us over these last few games anyways.
  14. I’ll co-sign this. Hope the front office is reading.
  15. Kobe’s back! If Trae is out again…we might actually see him tonight.
  16. Bc DJM is the best player in the trade by far. We shouldn’t have to give up AJ too to get that bum return from the Knicks.
  17. I call BS. AJ being included is a dead giveaway this is fake. Hawks don’t have to include him bc NYK would still do that trade 100% without him in there.
  18. I don’t disagree. We’re in a very perilous spot right now. But if you’re not getting good value in trades for guys like Cap or Dre, what else do you do?
  19. If you start trading guys for picks and expirings you do.
  20. My guess would be they want money to spend in free agency and picks to trade if a star becomes available. Risky...
  21. That bite has them in first place so far. And he’a played in 80% of games last year and 75% so far this year.
  22. https://www.si.com/nba/jazz/news/report-jazz-lauri-markkanen-nba-trade-deadline “Report: Jazz’s Lauri Markkanen ‘Off the Market’ Amid NBA Trade Deadline” Welp….that sucks. Really don’t see a path forward in a DJM trade right now that makes us better. Can we maybe get some good picks? Sure, I guess. But might be better off just hanging on to him until the off-season and praying someone like KAT, JB, or Bridges becomes available. We really should have tried to get KP in the offseason. JJ/KP/OO would have been great.
  23. That’s exactly what we need. Really any team should want that. Whats the catch then? Why is NY looking to trade him? Seems like that should be a good fit in between Brunson and OG.
  24. Travis failed too. No way Tony wins that argument or even demands that if the scouting report on Luka was right.
