I think Travis likes to deal.  I'm not seeing us stand pat at 6  (this will ensure he does probably).

He does love draft day deals, he just gets that itch to get more value

Or less with last year's trade up

Hunter's value was fine.  It's hard to get three and D wings.  The books not written on him yet and he still could be the 4th best player in the draft all things considered.

I don't know how feasible 10/Oubre is although I know they want to get rid of Oubre to make a run at FVV and another player. Oubre market isn't exactly the highest either due to his high maintenance status. Phoenix wants to be a winning team. Maintaining depth and getting impact players is what they are trying to do. It's a pick Atlanta could attain if they want to move up from a later 1st due to PHX needs. 

Prince/19 is very feasible and Atlanta has a tremendous working relationship with Brooklyn so that one just makes a shit ton of sense as it did last year for Crabbe. Prince is more costly than Crabbe. Prince has 24 million owed. 

As mentioned to me yesterday, Boston isn't giving away its picks. They will try to get value of some type. 

More and more vets are becoming available each growing day who weren't initially available. Atlanta could do their whole offseason in the draft and do a lot better than in FA. There are some vets that really could appeal to Atlanta, it's about making the value work.

I knew some vets would become available.....Go get em Travis....lol

9, 11-14 are interesting in Okongwu. How interested are they in moving up depends on the price. 

Without workouts, teams kinda already know who they like and don't like.

Travis better not let Boston trade up to get Okungwu..Nope...lol

[Peoriabird]

Are we sure we don't want Trey Burke?

I doubt Atlanta will do a trade with Boston due to probably wanting a big man or big wing.

I'm like 75% sure.  The remember, althought it is the playoffs, this isn't a regular playoffs with homefield advantage.  These role players are playing out of their minds in the bubble. 

It's also why you're seeing every game has a crazy scorer.  The crowd does affect focus.

Excellent point on these role players excelling because theres no "road".

Folks gotta be careful.  Kudos for having a good stretch, but theres a reason guys like Burke were on the scrap heap. 

Is he better than what we had?  Sure but thats like rewarding him for being the tallest short guy.

And shiii, based on the bubble, TJ Warren should be rated higher than Lebron.  It's all bizarro

somebody's gotta say it ...

Good game ... "Ohhh Luqua's the greatest!!!!! And he's doin it with an amputated foot while carrying Porzingis' corpse! Jordan who?!!"

Bad game ... "Oh wow, ankle, Porzingo out, refs missed that foul, his shoe fell off, is it warm in here?, Carlisle's a terrible coach, he has no help, why's this game so late?, let's go to commercial ..."

Now theyre saying Marcus Morris stepped on his injured ankle intentionally, when he wasnt even looking down. Plus he made sure he was alright.smh

You definitely have! I can confirm.... especially in a ton of replies to my post. I hope you are right and Schlenk is able to add talent via trade. I’m not so high in Schlenk coming through via free agency but we will see what happens

Can’t lie I didn’t see that coming but glad you and @JayBirdHawk shared the same beliefs!

@NBASupes if you don’t mind kind sir please drop a few name vets that you hear that becomes available via trade.

im really curious what Vets are available via trade. I figured the weak free agency would keep most teams intact with little to no movement at all

I can't publicly. Some have been rumored recently but I can't say but yes. Atlanta is interested in some, especially if they come with an asset attached and they add value. 

Literally, just last week, the best possible PG on the market was D.J. Augustin and Shabazz Napier and Augustin was likely to resign with ORL. Now, we got a quality marketplace. I really think teams started to settle at what they will do in the draft and players just became available. Also, some are targeting key FAs and need to get rid of salary as well as resigning some of their own players. There's a number of reasons but Atlanta is at the fontfront. When I say the market for Atlanta was SHIT, I mean it. People of value want to be part of a core, we have a core already and likely adding one more to it from the draft. PT matters to FAs. Things are clearly looking up now.

Id take Napier over Teague....Napier actually tries on defense..
