The thing that these novice writers from Bleacher Report don't understand is that we already have 2 2nd round picks this year (BKN and MIA's - MIA is protected 31-40 though). We don't need more 2nd round picks....

On top of that, it's not a buyer's move. We are looking to buy. 

Heh, lemme school you two.  This "rumor" is about a real contender (HOU) farming pieces from a pretender (ATL).

Because, of course from the national perspective, the Hawks just exist to help other teams get better.

We actually coukd have 3. The Hawks pick traded to SA is top 55 protected. In the current standings, it would not transfer.

2nd round picks are just a buzz kill.   It's embarrassing we have so many.

They're keying in on a Beverly/Shumpert deal in case you haven't heard. Plus they did get a Lou yesterday

• Houston has expressed interest in trading for Cavaliers guard Iman Shumpert. (Marc Stein, ESPN)

• Among Houston’s expiring contracts are Nene and Tyler Ennis. The team also holds an option on K.J. McDaniels for next season.

 

From SI. 

Cavs want Beverly though...

Marc Stein: More on the Houston/Cleveland trade talks: The Cavs want Rockets G Patrick Beverley in an Iman Shumpert deal, according to league sources.

Figured as much as I haven't seen it reported anywhere else.  I wouldn't mind KJ but I was thinking Scott for KJ.  Or as part of a larger deal where we dumped Baze on Houston. 

The way the tweet read it seemed more official than a rumor.

Alright kids, 24 hours left...you hear me? That's one day!

Oh boy.   Trade deadline is going to be gangbusters.  Major deals going down just like always.  It'll be like this:

To get rid of the Bazemore contract.... Plus we could get a draft pick or 2 in the process 

To trade Bazemore I think we would have to attach a pick or 2 in the process, not get them.

And if the Hawks don't make a move, Hawksquawk will look like this

I see the Squawk reacting more like this:

[DS5]

Wizards just traded for Bogdanovic for Nicholson AND their 2017 first. So much for depreciating the trade market...great trade for the Nets, they got similar value to what the Kings got for Boogie. Unbelievable.

[macdaddy]

Spud and KG (left to right in this clip) will show up at Bud's house all like "Is this your trade deadline homework Bud?"

The Spud will move to the driveway

Not even close. They got Hield and and a mid 1st. That is much better than a late 1st. That said, the value for which they got is insane. Boogie is worth a lot of picks, not just a mid 1st and Hield. 

[Bankingitbig]

Taking on Nicholson's contract is a negative as well.
