I was fixing to say PG13 is a top 20 player in the league and all we're sending is a bunch of role players and draft picks (for now) 

Lol.

I'd hate to part with THJr, but if it nets PG13 and allows Gaze to rise to average at SG Hawks gotta pull that trigger. THJr, Prince, Splitter, Scott, and picks/cash. Monta coming back in that deal? Weren't Budferry giving Ellis a look a couple of years ago?

I think Baze would be better playing next to George because he would be able to shoot more on the outside and he wouldn't be forced to create offense as often. As it stands now we simply don't have wings that can create their own shot and score or handle the ball for that matter.

I tried this PG to Hawks on 2k and it basically told me to go f*ck myself...:-|

I don't mean to hate... by all means post stuff if you want to drum up some excitement, but be prepared to have non-believers like me call out the BS. Seriously you get one of these semi-annual trades correct and I'll never question you again but this is what 4-5 years in a row of talking about sources at the deadline and during the free agency period and there hasn't been a single trade that has happened. 

Again I'm not trying to be a jerk (it just comes naturally) but it feels like this is just another in a long series of "inside source" topics designed to get peoples hopes up. For a franchise who've never acquired a player of Paul George's ability in most Hawks fans lifetimes that's just not cool man...

I do not mind one bit. I really had a hard time believing this on Wed. I asked about Melo and he said Atlanta is not interested and Melo doesn't want to leave NY unless it's for LA or to play with Bron. He then mentioned Paul George and I was like "c'mon son" and he was like no seriously, Atlanta is having serious talks for PG. It was on Sat and Sun, I started to think it could be possible. I never doubt him. He came though for me in May. I believe him but this is Paul "freakin" George. Not exactly a regressing Dwight Howard who I had no interest in till recently. It might not happen but from his take, it sounded like that's Atlanta's #1 option to improve.

No lol...more like Larry David screwing Leon with the job interview when their phones were switched ...He just about told me to go F myself..

 

 

I'm Bill from Woodcrest financial and 2k is Larry David... 

 

I mean I understand why I don't believe in us to ever trade for a big name..but it's insulting when 2k says it can't happen. 

 

 

[DS5]

The fact that nobody is talking about or reporting this, makes me believe there may be some truth to it, or maybe just wishful thinking. But we all know how the Hawks keep everything close to the vest. Damn, 48 more hrs of this crap..

There's gonna be a lot of

come Thursday at 3.

I have no insider info/connections -Supes apparently knows somebody who  knows somebody - who am I to fuss about it.  He hasn't said it will happen, just that there are/were a discussion.

Makes for an interesting trade deadline after that worse than horrible Allstar weekend.

Keep 'em coming  @NBASupes

This! 

I have no problem with anyone posting things they hear ...doesn't mean anyone has to believe it (like I said I don't believe it's going to happen...but that doesn't mean there aren't truly discussions going on about it. Personally i believe budcox probably did bring it up to bring in George and I'm sure he has spoke with bird and had Grant Hill help along the way ....do I think it's going to happen? No way in hell but do I want it to happen of course!)

with that said if you've been an ATL Hawks fan long enough you should know by now what to expect. 

Last I would like to repeat @JayBirdHawk and say keep them coming @NBASupes because unlike others this is atleast giving me a peace of mind that the Hawks are truly trying and if anything we as hawk fans know the effort is atleast there. 

All in all I believe the rumor @NBASupes ...just don't think it's going to happen but I really hope it does.

Indiana continues to reject any calls about George, per several league sources. They are banking on the new CBA to help retain George; if he makes the All-NBA team this season, they could offer him the new designated mega-extension before he even hits free agency — a super-rich contract no rival could approach.

And the rumor is officially laid to rest! Aint no way Paul George don't sign a 200 plus extension.

He has to make 1, 2, 3 team All-NBA. He would need two players to get hurt and he's neck in neck with Gordon Heyward who has the edge. Would need three players to get hurt. Sadly, of all of the players ahead of him, they have a superior squad with Davis being the exception but not for long since he just got Cousins. This is just for the supermax. Also, only his first team can offer that if they have his rights or if he was traded in his 1st contract like Harden for example.
