Told y’all he not Klutch like y’all think he is

I told yall

This regime has been very good on extensions. They won’t pay him anything absurd like that

New Orleans is an interesting situation with picks. They have their own, lakers and bucks so depending on how you see outlook of those teams some value there potentially

I never understand this sentiment amongst hawks fans. The draft is the one area the hawks have killed it. Jc at 19, huerter at 19, jalen at 20, Kobe. They had to draft wings in 2019 and took a project and the ncaa best wing just haven’t panned out to stars. Took the best big in 20 when the pick fell. They never had draft luck but made most of it. The worst pick in recent memory is AJ? Who looked awesome his first season but fell in year 2 and even then we know who Schlenk really wanted

In general my rule of thumb would be be very weary of anything that is a rumor right now. It’s frankly just too early hawks and pels will have discussions just like they did at the deadline. What they end up settling for idk

Lottery into combine. Intel should start coming soon after. This off-season has felt so long and it hasn’t even started league wide really

Plenty of teams would take CJ even tho I don’t like him as a player New Orleans countered with dj and OO for herb at the deadline. This gets a bit tougher at the moment cause of the contracts they have but I’m sure this will be discussed with BI/Cj going to a third team Ingram deal would likely be something like Dejounte and capela or something for BI + dyson

except the deals werent only grimes and one pick lol. multiple versions were discussed and having additional picks to improve the team is not a bad thing

correct. getting someone like Herb is likely a lose on paper by many people (not me) but they will be a much better team if they land a player like that

I've been trying to tell you guys this from the jump but every Murray trade on here you guys reject. They have to be okay losing the trade on paper because they overpaid and from a talent standpoint Murray isn't gonna return a player on paper as good as him. But can he return a much better fit and or additional assets to use. It is about building the best TEAM. not collecting the most talent

Not getting herb with Ingram. It will be one or the other.

While I agree that wasn't the case when Steph was there. But when he was becoming a star he had stability entire time but to his credit he is also one of the most selfless stars in any sport. They have their own turmoil going now with ownership trying to play this two timelines thing but he still gonna stick it through Cam missed the entire run but like 2 games in the ECF...

In due time one of Booker or KD will be out of there. I dont expect it this summer but summer 2025. Will be a good year to have draft capital IMO

No i don't think he would. But it certainly leaves a sour taste and is the first domino towards a trade request. Then you get the first round exit and in his head he's probably thinking "if we had someone like beal we could have won". Its a same conundrum the hawks have with DJM. Our star wants him and despite getting him we still lose first round. But if we didn't get him and the season still played out horribly the star is unhappy entire way and then requests come from that

Yeah thats who I was referencing for Booker.

I agree with everything you said but the problem is the landscape of the league today and these stars is you dont give them what they want they will just get up and leave. Especially a player like Booker who has ties to an entire agency and team elsewhere. These stars need to let basketball people do their jobs but culture of the sport now is so cooked it doesn't happen a ton. Need more steph curry's in this world

??? this is a joke right Steph, Luka, SGA,

He's not the best pg lol.

Not the first time technically. Schlenk was ready to trade him before they traded for Dejounte. Ownership was not on board

You are absolutely correct. Not one team in the league will give him the power they have in ATL. If they get a chip with the Lakers while Lebron is there, I don’t think it will matter to them but soon after it will crumble quickly

No clue tbh. won’t hear anything about the hawks for some time. Probably not until lottery and workouts start to ensue

Correct Trae asked for him. But clearly they don’t work and if they trade him he’s gonna want them to get a replacement

The plan to me is certainly trade DJ over Trae. I think Trae and his camp are applying a ton of pressure to get him some help this summer but I do not think the help they will want exists on the market so he will request a trade

Huh?
