They asked for onyeka and hawks told them F off lol. See if they get common ground tomorrow

I’m not doing this again lol. Picks are good. You can speculate where they end up but New Orleans has a bunch of picks; their own, Milwaukee, and a lakers pick. Any choice of them is good and I view Murray as a stepping stone to make another deal. Murray straight up for a star or impact player is very unlikely to happen (could but unlikely). This season is a wash. They could get 7 seed and maybe make a fluke run but getting assets in a Murray deal to use to facilitate the next deal is not a bad thing. Grade the trade however you want for the short term but when those assets are flipped for player x I think you’ll change your mind

Hahahaha. We just have different valuations for Murray. Getting a good young player who is also defensive minded + multiple picks is good package. Murray to me is not worth more than that and I’m not sure why he is to so many on here too when we got him for 3 picks. Recouping 2 to use in a deal in summer is good

Spot on. Would be a great package imo. Dyson is a legit player hawks have had interest in dating back to draft

Haynes first but confirmed the report with my source. Hawks discussions with New Orleans is very real. Not sure New Orleans will meet the price but they do have a boatload of picks to meet it.

Bey and his camp asked for 100 million in the off-season. They were quickly told no and he chose to bet on himself and proceeded to have a pretty bad year. He’s probably a 4/60 player with the hawks if they choose to resign him.

That second is basically a late first. Hawks don’t exactly have the draft capital to part to get him between that late first and multiple seconds line. The guy discussed was AJ but he could be moved elsewhere so

That’s what I heard . It’s also peak silly szn and could just be a leverage from hawks to get a final offer

Heard the hawks and their very first Dejounte suitor are close to a deal. Things could change as they ask for final bids and the other team evaluates if this is the “all in” move they want to pursue for this year but may be headed for a deal

It’s 100% a real dm. I speak with that twitter user a good bit and have known about the DM from the day it was sent. He didn’t release it for any reason other then he was mad his dad put February 8th in his tweet

This is exactly the swap being discussed. Grimes *as currently constructed* slides into the last rotational player taking all Garrison/Wes/Patty minutes

Grimes to ATL gaining a ton of steam

Things can change in a couple days since closer to the deadline is when better offers come in but I think it’s increasingly likely the hawks stand pat next week. Maybe a small move like AJ or Clint but as of right now I think they revisit trades in the summer. Maybe someone overpays next week but at this point in time I think a lot of the roster will stay the same

Im gonna be honest with you guys I had one person tell me hes being traded to a mystery team and thats why he was out and then other tell me that sat him cause of what he did the game prior. I got no clue whats going on with this situation right now.

The dm has been known about for months. Teams have known about his request for weeks. Teams also know about how he acts on social media. This has no bearing on his value just something coming to the public now

Not sourced but its pretty eye opening that Quin was screaming at DJM who went rogue in the fourth quarter on both sides of the ball. Might have reached the sabotage point of the trade request. Things could move quickly

Plenty of teams can outbid the lakers offer. The question is will anybody do so... to this point nobody has really and thats why they waiting. As of now I'd be surprised if someone does but still plenty of time left before the deadline

I didn't see this until now hahahahah. Yes you guys are right I am nick ressler

Oh 100% he has no value. If they are lucky they could potentially flip him for fournier and grimes but that is a big IF. Its a pure shed salary move and hope they can use that space for someone in summer

Doesn’t surprise me one bit. Dinwiddie an expiring and Brooklyn needs players under contract.

Not sourced at all but hawks play the lakers next Tuesday then have two days off till next game. Probably a good chance a deal gets done around then

Honestly I think both would be equally as likely and DJM very well could live past the deadline and be in those talks in summer. But I understand what core piece you saying now. I thought you would have said a young player. For both our sake I hope they land on KAT or someone somehow with either package.

Can you tell me a realistic core asset you think you could get for Murray? Emphasis on realistic. and you realize from previous deals that’s the picks the lakers were left with to deal. Both viewed by the league as great picks. They moved 1 to get off russ and get rotational players to vault them to a run. They gonna do the same with the other asset. You can disagree and are entitled to your opinion but I’m telling you how the league views those assets and it’s highly. A team like the t wolves needs picks (which they themselves done have) to draft those cheap players they need around their core.

Why would Toronto get later picks when the team they are dealing with has picks before that. You’re comparing apples to oranges. not to mention siakam value isn’t good considering he’s an expiring and that’s why they got two horrible 24 picks. The best pick in that deal is 26 which is not looking great for them but class wise is ideal. The picks in 24 aren’t rated highly. Again you guys might not like a 29 pick but gms rate it as a premium asset. Just like they did the lakers 27 pick that they traded last year for Beasley vando and Russell. Toronto insisted on a young player that has huge upside and rj was the salary match. Not sure why you are hyping up a retool when they currently are still bad and need to tank for their pick. Immediate return on Murray does nothing. Picks to facilitate future moves does.

You guys just overrate Murray. Really isn’t much more to it. He’s a top 50-60 player in a guard heavy league. Take your bias out of it. Keep him (you can’t he asked out weeks ago) and continue this cycle of 7-8 seed lose first round. Except they didn’t for years between Kobe and bron and end of Kobe career. Lebron saved em and they’ll be back to fodder when he’s gone
