I want Miles or Mikal Bridges. I'll take Gallo contract Yup reading between the lines that’s exactly what he means but the draft picks could very well be for this year or future drafts....which kinda makes it less exciting but I’m with you man ...if you can get one of the Bridges by taking on a bad salary to move up it’s a no brainer one can only hope we get that lucky as well as getting the number 1 pick. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB21 Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Translation: He's not going to add anyone that can help this team win. The Hawks are going to continue with this stupid youth movement, which means there will be no end to the losing anytime soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't know that, what you do know is he wants more picks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping for a trade with Denver for 14 and either Plumlee or Faried for 18 and 30 that would be cool with me and Denver has to extend Jokic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May not want them but I like how @davis171 brought up a realistic trade that could happen. i can see Schlenk doing that deal as well as the Nuggets. It’s a good trade for the hawks to move up and to free Denver up a bit of cap space to do whatever they need to do. at least Faried is a beast on the boards but we’d likely get Plumlee if this deal was actually in the works 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBASupes Posted April 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) That's a pretty horrible deal. The 18 and 30 for the 14 is a good value if Denver wants to take it. But add bad contracts in the mix, oh my. Not a deal I would expect a decent GM to make. Not even Billy King That said, I get where Davis is going. But I would do that deal if I could add Miles Plumlee to the deal. That would be a good value Edited April 12, 2018 by NBASupes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a good value Moving up is very expensive you underrate how difficult it is it'll take that type of ammo to move up imo maybe we can take Marvin to move up to 11 in a similar move with Charlotte. But my example is if for example lets say Knox falls to 14 and the hawks have him graded in the top 10 and know that he will not be there at 18 or 19 so we take on Faried for that opportunity I'd love the aggressiveness. Faried > Plumlee. Faried's contract is only 2 yrs and the hawks could hypothetically move on next year as it would be an expiring deal at 13 mill which isn't to bad compared to some bad contracts out there.

You’re correct in that these moves will more than likely not impact this draft. Most teams will not know their cap situation till after the moratorium and free agency to feel the urge to attach valuable assets to shed salary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a good value Faried is an expiring deal so that doesn't hurt my head too much. Plumlee is on the books for two more years so that is much less palatable. Taking on a bad deal would require a sweetener in either case but Faried I take on cheaper than I do Plumlee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBac Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Hopefully we aren’t taking on Plumlees this year. Get someone useful or use your leverage to get a really valuable pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB21 Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 So, not only will Schlenk not add anyone who can actually help this team win, he's going to take on bad contracts to get picks in one of the weaker drafts we have seen since the 2013 and 2014 drafts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
