Just give a the 16th pick and pick swap for the #1 and #4. 

[Hawk88]

I’d even settle for an either on thst option.

That would be nice, but Phoenix isn't doing that.

Going to be a sad ass day...I hope schlenk don’t let him just walk away 

[bleachkit]

I'm ready to get all this over with. New coach, new players. Next year is going to be very different.

[Buzzard]

We have the contract and the upper hand. Swap #1 for # 4 and # 16 for #19. That is where I would start at if I was Travis. The least I would take is 16 straight up. I would fight hard for including 1 for 4 to the point I would not yield until it was apparent the Suns were interviewing other coaches.

Agreed, I posted the same thing the other day.

Just read this ...this is the least schlenk can do at this point! Just have some balls and don’t just let Bud walk away for nothing...PLEASE and if he don’t want to stay here tough shit! Make him stay.

 

Michael Cunningham of the AJC reports directly that “the Hawks indicated that he would not be released from his contract without compensation.” As a result, any deal to send Budenholzer to Phoenix does not appear imminent, though it is difficult, at least in some ways, to envision a scenario in which the head coach returns to Atlanta given all of the publicly available information.

Please be wrong ! Pleaaassseee be wrong !

schlenk has to have some kind of damn brain.

[bleachkit]

It's going to be a second rounder. A swap of #19 and #16 if we're lucky. Suns aren't selling the farm for a coach, no one does in the NBA.

No one does that, but Bud will make a much bigger impact on that team than anyone they take in this draft will have next year.  If he takes that job, Phoenix will be 20 plus games better next year than they have been.

If he wants out trade him but we need good compensation. Regardless I doubt anything happens until the lottery.

Then it’s not worth it

[WillBarrow]

The least we should take is the 16th.This draft could really set us up to build a solid foundation.

I heard that Bud was picking out Houses next to Golf courses in Phoenix but he wants a second house close to the place where he was raised (Holbrook).

I think it will be #16 for Bud. 

We're going to have 4 first rounders. 

[REHawksFan]

Boston traded Doc Rivers (who won a NBA title with them) to LAC for an unprotected 1st rounder that turned into the 28th pick overall but some actually think the Hawks will get the 16th pick AND swap lottery picks for Bud?  Not seeing it.  Why would anyone possibly do that?  

[REHawksFan]

Also......Stan Van Gundy was traded from MIA to Orl for a 2nd and the right to swap 1sts.  Pat Riley was traded from NYK to MIA for a future 1st (turned into 19th pick overall in 96)
