This 'Westbrook wants to come to Atlanta' noise started on a tweet from a fake account 

Most likely but even fakes get it right sometimes. It didn't stop Houston from calling and asking about Atlanta's interest.

Don't you tease me!!!!

What's crazy about Houston is very one in the "crew" (Morey, Rosas, McNair, and most of those guys) but Tillman got word of bailing on the Rockets. My guy thinks his guy is more of a Tillman guy at this point. He's not saying anything that normal FO staffers say. He almost being a mouthpiece for HOU and Tillman, even behind the scenes. But it makes sense, Tillman is a major restaurant guy and they tend to be short fused if things are going their way.  We been talking throughout tonight. Hayward isn't just wanted by us, a couple other teams want him but Atlanta is the most interested and Gordon is most interested in us.

Hayward agent been getting SnT interest as well but nothing good. Just usual rubbish from contenders.

Is there any scenario where we sign Hayward but keep Huerter? 

[JTB]

If we can sign Hayward + Harris and draft the best big man available I would say that’s a major win for our hawks this offseason

Yeah, like all of them. Kevin is NOT being shopped at all. He was a player of interest of teams who wanted to move back from the top 3 (GS and CHA). Atlanta isn't moving up is what he told me yesterday. If Kevin is moved, they want a legit stud who can help them win games and under contract for awhile.

Hayward/Harris/Toppin or Okungwu

Still need a backup PG...

So what's the news on the mega trade? Is it going to go down?

The Jrue Holiday trade is dead. 

The Pacers/Hawks/3rd team is still on track and been so far awhile. Maybe now several months and some change.

We will be lucky to get one, much less both. Quite a bit of competition for their services.

Just based on what I know, I think Atlanta will take Okongwu, put him on the market and trade him to Washington, Boston, or any team as he's the one with the highest trade value. Depending on what GS does, we could see Obi Toppin going 8th overall to NYK. It's a joke but it is what it is.

Well Killlian Hayes himself told me that he's only worked out for three teams (Chicago or Detroit? and two east coast teams) One of them not being Washington.  That leaves Atl and New York.

If the GH deal goes down, I'm hoping Killian is the pick along with a Rondo signing.

Don’t mind Hayward at all, definitely makes us a playoff contender and help change this losing culture

I actually think Atlanta will ultimately trade with Washington who badly want Okongwu. They have offered us their 2nd, Troy Brown Jr, and a pick swap. He telling me Atlanta has interest in Ish Smith instead of the 2nd rounder and WAS was HAPPY to do that as Ish doesn't have that value to them. I think we could see a Troy Brown Jr, Ish Smith, and #9 for Okongwu. Killian Hayes I would imagine has to be the target.
