Premium Member Jody23 Posted January 2, 2017 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Finding a trade that will send Millsap to a team he'll want to re-sign with and that also returns the Hawks the value they need is going to be difficult. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarcatic1 Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 As much as I like Sap I just cant see the Hawks paying him the money he will command next season just for us to be a good/average but not great team. Hopefully they pull the trigger on some stuff this year like they should have done last year with Al and Jeff. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are very few teams that will have $30- $35 mil in clear capspace to offer him that without bird rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Sothron Posted January 2, 2017 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 One thing I have to put out there: After losing Horford and now possibly Millsap we absolutely have to bring back a PF in a trade or draft one. Paul is the only real PF on our roster and if trade him that leaves a gaping hole at the 4 spot. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am not getting my hopes up, you gonna need to offer us value and that's something other fans in other fanbases are having a hard time doing and GM's are just as fickle. I am not getting my hopes up. Besides, I am starting to like this team again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like a trade for Otto Porter. MINN would be cool. I'm sure ATL would have to take Dieng back. I'm not too familiar with him to know if I want him or not.

RWF Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 I hope we can find offers for Korver and Thabo if we do trade Sap. No need to keep those guys around for a rebuild. The question would be then, what will the Hawks do with Howard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too familiar with him to know if I want him or not. His PP makes him extremely hard to add in a trade and I don't think he's someone Atlanta would target. I would target Tyus Jones (Backup), Muhammad (Backup guard) Rubio (trade him to Philly for Okafor) for Sap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to see Hawks trading key asset in-conference. 7:13 PM - 1 Jan 2017 44 Retweets 22 l Toronto has no interest for me. I'd hope DEN is offering Gallo not Faried. Hawks have done trades in conference like Lou to TOR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way different from this past summer. I highly doubt it. If anything he'd excercise it. He'd be the top FA PF since Blake will stay with LAC. He's going to want that 30+ mil a year max. With the cap rise, somebody will have the money for him if ATL doesn't want to pay it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It leaves us with a lot of role players which places us in a worse position. We need at least one could be developed player. Better than nothing. Bud lost his leverage when he didn't trade him during the summer. If anything Hawks get a pick out of this and make their own pick a top lottery pick vs. keeping Millsap lose in the 1st and watch him leave for nothing and have a late 1st round pick instead of top 5.

Premium Member Sothron Posted January 2, 2017 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Why would we want Okafor in Atlanta? He can't play with Howard. He also has no defensive or rebounding ability. I am prepared for the Celtics to offer us some crap like Zeller, Amir Johnson and some mid range picks for Millsap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okafor would be a backup with Tyus Jones and Muhammad. He needs to develop. What better place to develop than in Atlanta. We can then move Moose to start at the 4. This is a trade I cooked up. Add Atlanta 2017 1st rounder going to Denver. Denver gets: Kent Bazemore and ATL 1st 2017 Philly gets: Ricky Rubio Minny gets: Sap and Delaney Hawks gets: Faried, Okafor, Muhammad and Tyus Jones Dennis/Tyus Tim/Kyle/Muhammad/Bembry Thabo/Prince Faried/Moose/Scott/Kelly(likely cut in the next week) Dwight/Okafor/Splitter http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=zcfwwbf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
