WOW ESPN reports Hawks mulling potential trades to bring in LeBron AND Melo!

[Guest]

Lol, I'll be there wearing nothing but a game-worn LeBron James headband. Wait, that probably wouldn't go over well.

[Ruckus]

Melo has been playing PF in NY.

I see. Shows how much I watch the Knicks. To be honest I'm not sure I like the idea of him playing PF here.

[Plainview1981]

People getting excited over nothing again. But, I would take Love and Lebron over Lebron and Melo.

I actually woke up to several friends texting me about this. Great way to start my day. :-) Is it finally our turn? By the way, at this point, I don't care if the Hawks championship is organic, natural or filled with pesticides, ill take it however I can get it. I'd welcome Lebron and Melo with open arms. True, I'm not a fan of Melo alone but if it brings Lebron then sign me up.

Good job waking up at noon! What a bum lol

Believe it when it happens, but I hope the 0.001% chance comes true. I could see Millsap, Lou, and 2 - 1st round picks (2014, 2016) being the possible trade to Miami for James (actually had a dream of Sap in a HEAT jersey a few months ago, lol) and then signing Melo outright. James and Melo divide up about $28 mil in cap space. Horford/Melo/James/Korver/Teague would be unstoppable. Flip Teague & DMC to New York (which we know they had interest) and resign Mack if we have to. Korver is the perfect 2 guard in that situation. IFWT.

The only problem with this is what if the Hawks lose out on the Lebron and Melo sweepstakes? What should Ferry and Coach Bud do then?

I believe S2N lives in the Bay Area, so take 4 hours off that time stamp.

Exactly what they did when they lost out on D12 and CP3 - sign whoever else is on their radar (like with Milsap) DF won't have all his eggs in the LBJ/ Melo basket.

Ok - that made me chuckle. Lol

Yeah, but what about when it comes to the draft? Wouldn't they have to trade away Horford for draft picks and to make room for both Lebron and Melo?

SnT for Melo.

Sign Lebron.

Keep Horf

Keep Bebe and Dennis

Keep Korver

EVERYONE ELSE is available.

[IheartVolt]

Lol... just give us LBJ and they can keep Melo

[Sothron]

My mind would be blown if we got Lebron and Melo on the Hawks. The talking heads on ESPN would in fact explode.

This franchise would jump to the top of the most hated list.

Then 95% of the Heats fan base for the past 4 years would then become Hawks fans lol.

Lebron/Melo

While I doubt NYK would trade Melo for Sap, Horf would make them happy but Sap wouldn't fit with Bron and Melo.

It would be nice to have games where most of the home fans actually, ya know, cheered for the home team.
