I just hope we don't lose JC in this. I really do think if we could sign Hayward to be SF the only other spot is SG. Unless we are getting Harden I just don't know who that SG would be that would be a megatrade.
Lavine and McCollum are good players but not mega trade players. At least not to me.
I don't think Trae and Harden would be a good basketball fit. As far as LaVine not being a "mega" trade -
He was at 25 ppg, 1.5 steals, 5 boards, and 4 assists last year on .45/.38/.80 splits. He's also only 25 and fits our timeline.
SG makes the most sense for us to target in a big trade if my assumption is right that JC isn't going anywhere.
Google Zach LaVine and there's a lot of smoke about trade rumors.
I really think it's LaVine lol

But what practical purpose does sending out Dedmon/Huerter at <$18 million for LaVine ($19.5 million) serve? Technically this absorbs $2 million more in space for LaVine and pushes either Cam or Hunter to the bench.
Doesn't having Huerter on the roster also push Cam or Hunter to the bench? Adding Heyward also pushes one of them to the bench.
You're getting a better player in the trade if you're the Hawks. And if you look at trade rumors online, LOT of smoke for Oladipo AND Lavine right now. I think this trade makes sense. And with the information we've been given, it's the best I got lol

Ummm something I am considering is that instead of Collins is Capela who is traded and we receive Turner with other moving pieces as Norman Powell or Jeremy Lamb coming our way also. Is that a possibility?
I think Supes has sad Trae, Capela, and the 2019 lottery guys (Hunter, Reddish) are not going anywhere.

Indy
Indy has been in talks with Atlanta and a 3rd team. This is a massive deal that has been in talks now for months, I even think I mentioned it on here before. Basically, the Atlanta part of the deal is done but the 3rd team is still far away from where they need to be for Indy. The only players I can say are in this deal is Oladipo to the 3rd team and Dedmon to one of the teams. This would be a major deal for all team involved. Indy is NOT rebuilding; they are simply retooling. They want to be a contender in the east like we want to be. They will be tight on offseason spending. Justin Holiday might be on the way out due to salary. Justin is getting a lot of interest from contenders for a mid MLE level player.
Just saying... the following works in trade machine... I DO NOT think the Hawks are trading JC. I understand the case that can be made for it, I just don't think it's happening. With the rumors surrounding us being aggressive on the Heyward front, that leaves SHOOTING GUARD as the one spot that can be involved in a "mega" trade.
If you go down the list of top SG's, the only players that I could see being traded and fit are timeline are:
- Hield
- Smart
- LaVine
- McCollum
- Holiday
I wouldn't consider Hield or Smart to be mega trade worthy, and everything points to Holiday going to a contender. That leaves McCollum and LaVine. I couldn't get a McCollum trade to work in trade machine, but I think he's possible. BUT, the following trade does work:
Hawks: LaVine
Bulls: Oladipo
Pacers: Dedmon, Huerter

When we traded for Capela, I thought it might be a possibility..I eally want to see how they play together first though...
Exactly. No way we trade JC without seeing how he and Capela play together first. I’m sure a big part of the logic behind that trade was his fit with both Trae and JC.
Huerter however....
There’s a reason GS was demanding him in any trade for #2. There’s been smoke about a Huerter trade. It’s Huerter guys...

Ding Ding Ding!!!!
Supes has been pretty consistent but people keep ignoring it.
Trae, Hunter, Capela, Reddish are NOT being moved no matter what.
Collins and Heurter can be had but we would need significant compensation.
Megatrade involves Dedmon for sure, none of the 4 untouchable players, and now we know no draft picks.
So Dedmon alone doesn't equal mega. Dedman and Heurter is a big trade for us. Dedmon and Collins would be mega from our end.
Still dont know what's coming back to us. But in order for a blockbuster trade to go down we would have to give up more than just Dedmon.
Ppl better get used to the idea of losing JC in a few days
I think it’s going to be Huerter going out and we get a SG in return. Trading JC makes no sense unless they’re scared to pay him. But whoever they bring in is going to be a big contract PF anyways (if JC is part of the trade.) So if we’re going to have a big contract there anyways, I think we stick with JC.

Levert isn't "mega" for a "megatrade".
The way @NBASupes has described the player the Hawks would get I have to think this is at least an All Star established player. We already have starters at 1, 4 and 5. If we sign Hayward he's a 3 he doesn't have the foot speed to guard at 2.
So...that only leaves shooting guard. Would McCollum count for mega trade? He's a good scorer and not a good defender. We need a SG that can defend. If we aren't waiting for Cam to develop then...who is this SG...
I went down the list of top shooting guards. The only players who could potentially be available and who fit our timeline are McCollum and then Levine. I don’t think it’s Levine.
Levert isn’t mega so I agree there.

Common Sense Test - Russell Westbrook to the Hawks Edition
Russ is the 3rd highest paid player in the league and limits our cap flexibility moving forward. He's a ball dominant PG who shot sub 30% from 3 each of the past 3 years. Per CBS sports:
"So unafraid of off-ball Westbrook were opponents that they started using his man to double Harden any time he stepped beyond halfcourt in November and December. Sidekicks are supposed to be low maintenance. Houston had to abandon the entire center position for Westbrook's sake."
He also does not fit the Atlanta Hawks timeline.
Conclusion - FALSE

Excerpt from his latest article
Thanks! A little surprised about Hali over Kilian, but I guess it makes sense. Would love to get Okongwu though! Learn from Cap for 3 years and then take over year 4.

Ask Supes
in Homecourt

I question the defensive fit as well, but I think him and Huerter are probably a wash there.
I'm just throwing out LaVine because I think he's the most likely based on the info we have, and the assumption it's not JC being traded.
