In fairness, dude kinda looks like a cartoon so... 

If DEN plays against MIN the way they've played against LAL, they might get sweeped (not swept).

KD isn't worth all that anymore.  Give em Hunter and a few 2's.

I knew I wasn’t trippin with what I saw!

I understand that BI has always played the 3 but supes stated here that the hawks see BI as a 2. Therefore when watching him during this years playoffs I’m stating that I don’t see it but I understand the length that’s needed around Trae however we still need a POA defender in the deal as Hunter is too injury prone and seems to be a more quality player off the bench at least on this team.

Ol' JTB went out and got receipts on 'em.

Jolly good show, old chap.

He will be drafted in the first round.  

I think he'll be drafted but is probably closer to a 2nd rounder than a top 10 guy.  Like with Jones and Murphy, I can see him being a better pro than a college player.  Which means he'll be undervalued come draft time.

Dunn would be the POA defender on the wing.  

Seemed more like a big wing to me.  While we're at it, let's pick up that Beekman kid too.

This.  
 

This also extends some to JJ, who has real on the ball defensive ability and strong secondary rim protection.  He gets lost sometimes when he has to help and recover and in transition.  On a nightly basis though, those two are our two best overall defenders.  I have high hopes for Kobe joining them.  The Hawks desperately need that POA wing defender that can guard 1-3 if not 1-4.  
 

It’s enough of an issue that I would seriously consider Ryan Dunn at ten for his defense and take a chance that Quin can make his offense better.  Very similar to Herb Jones when he came out of Alabama.  

I watched Dunn a good bit being a terror against my Jackets.  He's definitely a player type that would be helpful for us.  But, as others mention, I prefer we get personnel that could help our POA.  Well heck, why not do both I guess.

I think we need to go after Mikal Bridges, he is the perfect fit for Trae, no matter the cost. I would send Murray and OO or Capela for him, I would even include Bogi, AJ or picks.

After that is time to address the big issue, I honestly don’t see any big available that could fit here, we need to go to the draft. Or try a change Capela for Zubac or for Vucevic but I doubt they accept it.

Explain why this makes sense from BKN's perspective though.

The outsiders have eyes on Phoenix 'cause they're obviously gonna make changes.  That's an unmitigated failure almost everyone saw coming.

But I'm afraid to go fishin for Booker-fish.  Mess around and have Beal-apia on the hook.

Hawks just watched the Falcons draft and decided to draft a PG in the lottery. 

You just hurt a buncha Failcons fans' feelings, bd.

It would be awfully nice if the move to squash this kind of nonsense happens sooner than later.  The agenda driven devaluing of Trae is nauseating.

It's why I predicted he'd leave Klutch soon.  It seems he's the only one if their high profile clients that gets dragged like this. 

My eyes!

I think I got the winner of the worst Trae trades possible.  This one features the site favorite PeliCan'ts. 

Dude on bleacher report posited a 'Trae for McCollum, Daniels, and a pick' deal.

And wondered if that'd be enough for Atlanta.

It's gonna be a long summer, baybee.

You’re not gonna use the stamp? Why did I make it then? -

I didn't file requisition #1207398-b in the last meeting,so I didn't think I was authorized.

Latest from LAL fans: Rui, Reaves and Gabe for Trae 

Bite your tongue, burd.  That clearly requires multiple picks coming from Atlanta too.

In all seriousness though, surely LAL will be looking to make changes.  But until they come off AD, it'll just be shifting deck chairs off the titanic.  And also coach firings are likely coming.

Did yall notice that smooth transition to an outsiders update? 

 Yeah, smooth as a dirt road, kg.

Shut up, Kial!

I'm not eager to trade OO.  I feel like he is a very useful player off the bench and has the upside to be a starter.   For me it is more whether he can reach that upside and whether Snyder seems him as a starting center.  If the answer to that is "no" then it doesn't mean we need to deal him.  

But no one on this team is untouchable.  It is about value in any trade scenario.

 If I was untouchable, anybody can be.

Well, to be honest, that was because nobody wanted your crap-a** contract, Baze.

Plain and simple.. OO should be on the block if a good trade is presented. He is not untouchable.

 

I think him and Bam are miles away in how they play the game.

Adebayo was the ideal we all wanted when OO was drafted.  But we gotta be honest about what we're seeing for multiple years.

I'm an OO fan but, if his spot can be upgraded, do it.

 "You tellin me how to do my job, kg?  Do I come down to the zoo to tell you how to clean the rhino sh*t?!"

Sorry, Kial.  But I don't work at the zoo. 

Who wore it best, Kl0y Th0mps0n or D'Angel0 R0ssell?

Yeah, I agree with the eggsperts now.  I can't understand why the Hawks wouldn't trade either Trae or Murray for a package centered around D'L0 or Reaves.

I mean, I hope the dude makes a full recovery and all that.  I'm sympathetic and empathetic and everything.   But geez man, every year it's something when they lose.

DANG IT!!! Ok I’m gettin that radio back for the offseason trash talk. And by that I mean the BS of us trading a star ️ for peanuts . I’m paying to get pissed off basically.

 

ps Scal is a by a lot of definitions. You can say he came through in his life and made the NBA and had a cool nickname like white mamba and whatnot but dude is a straight up dork, I’m not clowning like a bully might but he’s a freakin tool.  

Speaking of clowns, anybody hearing all these Nix fans in Philadelphia tonite?

I tthought Philly fans were all sUpER fAnS.  They got Nix fans in the building in the playoffs?  Clown fanbase.
