Schlenksanity! Lin to the Hawks...for what?

[Spud2nique]

Is Denver trying to make a move for Kawhi? Hmmm.. wonder if Jamal Murray is involved.

Can we hold onto the receipt?

[DBac]

So about that trade negotiating consultant...

 

Really hope this is part of a bigger move.

Dang it Wayne Ellington back

to the Heat. Wanted him as a Hawk on a cheap deal.

You mean we paid the Nets for this guy??  He's played 34 games in 2 years

Love Schlenk the scout....the trade negotiator....Meh

Rowland at Peachtree Hoops is suggesting in his story that this may be part one of a larger deal.

Lin started out with Golden State. Is Lin Schlenk's guy from back in the day? 

[asdogg]

Probably needed a back up point guard/ good mentor forTrae. They are probably are finalizing a deal for Dennis.  Even if Dennis stays you probably want a smart vet on the bench to guide this team

I saw a rumor of Melo to Brooklyn for Lin type deal the other day and that's the only thing giving me hope here.

[capstone21]

Trying to see the logic ... we get a second to take on Lin’s contract. Maybe there is another move involving Dennis somewhere. I was hoping that cap space was going to do more then provide a second rounder for us.

Welp nvm.

It has to be a part of another deal.  There was a rumor that the Nets would trade Lin for Anthony and a 1st.  Maybe the Hawks do that deal now. 

Either that or they have a deal lined up for Dennis.

Why the need for 3 PGs on a tanking team? I fully expect Trae to finish the year as the starter and Dennis traded. Not soon, but before the deadline next year.

You kind of answered your own question. If Dennis is moved, we have a experienced PG already in hand. I said over a month ago our biggest need was a Veteran PG. This is a smart move and Lin comes off our books 100% next season. I just hope he can pass a physical.

Lin did play for GS when Schlenk and Pierce were there.  If Aldridge is correct, Dennis is gone.  So, the Hawks are going to get minimal assets for their cap space.  Dennis is not going to bring in a major asset in a deal.  So, the Hawks have found a way to move Dennis, take on an expiring deal, and ensure they do not get better.  

[Spud2nique]

I’d rather have a guy like Lin mentor Trae than a guy like Dennis. And I’m not even a Lin fan but I think he’s super smart and has done the most he can with the least amount of talent overall. He just finds ways and has an incredible work habit.

 

Dennis must be done soon. @DS17Fanboy ur thoughts?

He's incorrect. Senlenk mention getting another PG in the Viv piece.

Then that’s even worse because you are spending $14 million for a second round pick without creating any cap space for next year, and Brooklyn is further along in their rebuild.  Their pick will be a worse second round pick.

He also said trades would be our free agency this season. So much for Travis misleading us ;)
