Drummond more than holds his own against Towns and wins 8 out of 9 games head to head.  Plus, he's not soft.

Not at this moment.  Toronto is trying but I think the Hawks are serious here.  

Where did you hear this or do you have connections of your own?

Been around the Hawks 30 years I have some contacts.   Two important people have been upset, Trae and Ressler.  I didnt think a couple days ago anything would happen but that has apparently changed.  To be clear I am not or have not been attached to the Hawks but I am a businessman that has been in circles of those that have been.

When owners start getting involved with player personnel decisions, that makes me really nervous. It never ends well.

This is not a Jerry Jones type situation.

Preach.

They ain't scouting nobody and wouldn't have much of a clue what to do with the info if they did.

No doubt.  Especially the owner that probably pushed to sign Dwight and 'personally' took over the Milsap negotiation.

It's no Peter Holt either? Who you ask? Spurs owner - you don't hear a peep out of him.

Remember this:

Again, It just makes me really nervous

Ain’t gon lie ....I’m happy about Resseler speeding things up cause to me even though folks don’t typically like it when ownership gets involved that keeps good pressure on the front office to not go down a philly, twolves, suns like rebuild! To me those are trash rebuild plans ....but then again for every reason @JayBirdHawk is probably thinking this could be bad thing all at the same time when ownership gets involved! Like jerry Jones bad but Resseler ain’t there.... yet anyways 

 

then on top of all that I’m a bit ignorant ok ...I’m a little flattered that we have a owner who wants big name players here. I understand that every owner wants that but it’s different when you start putting your foot down!

so I’m kinda like go Resseler that’s what the “F” I’m talking about but then I’m like hold up mofo what you doin? Don’t you “F” this up! Lol

[AHF]

Hire your GM.  Let them make the decisions until you no longer believe in them and fire them.  If you hire a “yes man” who just does what the owner wants, you are already doomed.  Just set your money on fire.  Or agree to pay Evan Turner.  (Same thing)

Good owners let GMs run the show.

Whether Peter Holt or whomever, they are involved whether we hear about it or not.  They own multi million or billion dollar companies. No moves are made at that level with any team without that owner giving the ok.

Oh come on this is a no brainer. Ressler has to get involved to keep Schlenk from building a complete loser. Morale on this team was crazy low because Schlenk put together a garbage pail roster. Ressler is saying it’s time to shift back in the other direction, towards being competitive. That’s the problem..we weren’t even competitive with the roster we had/have.

I can see this being centered around multiple 2nd rounders and maybe even Alex Len. Brooklyn pick should be untouchable 

Based on Schlenk’s drafting... I’m not sure a draft pick is valuable to this team right now.

A team he promised would be competitive on a nightly basis at that.

Well I don’t think that’s why they are considering trading the pick  lol 

Schlenk draft decisions as of right now are fine. Trae and Collins were great decisions and we have to play the wait and see game for the others but back to the Brooklyn pick being available.

I believe that Brooklyn pick is being moved due to no need of having a roster full of developing players and no already established players. We literally have 6 young players in Trae, Collins, Huerter, Cam, Hunter, Fernando all needing to continue development and will likely face some tough mountains to climb over as they develop. 
then you add our pick from this years draft coming up and that’s 7 players that will likely all be  apart of the “young core” 

It’s too much to add two more young players aka young projects to this already extremely young team .

Aside:

As the local ambassador to Squawk from AT&T Stadium, I would remind people that talent acquisition hasn't really been the problem with Jerry for several years... rather, it's been the degree to which he's imposed himself in the coaching realm, including deciding who should call plays.

Just sayin.

Zooming back out... but as Vol suggests... it doesn't sound like Ressler is getting involved in the specifics, just generally wanting to see a better product sooner than later.

Stay strong Colonel. Don't force it. Don't let your boss persuade you to do things your Spidey sense says aren't actually helpful to the big picture goal. If something falls in your lap, take it, but don't stretch your neck out there with dastardly ideas like sending out a 1st round draft pick for a 4 month rental.

Agree completely. I can't have 8 young players on a team I'm expecting to compete for the playoffs. I want like 6 with others vets. That's why I wouldn't be upset trading one of the current young guys (Heurter my preference).
