Levert is right there with Dinwiddle and Allen.  All nice guys to have as your 4-7 players in the rotation.  None are really core pieces worthy of being the best piece of a trade for James Harden.

The 'best piece' will be the multiple firsts they extract.  But we'll see.  I don't know if i'm believing this gets done.  watch it probably just got done. lol

Last year's crew was missing JC for much of the year, Dedmon for the vast majority and Capela for the entire seasons.  Even if we run it back with only some useful vets and a new lottery pick, we won't be the same team next season.

 

I know.  I just get caught up in the "what if" dreaming every year.  Nothing's done yet so it still could happen.  I've just gotten to the "dang nothings going to happen" stage of the annual trade saga.

I’m guessing Hayward plans to opt out but Boston wants more time to see if they could find a trade for him

I just realized this said Thursday, which means after the draft tomorrow.  Which means he can't be included in a trade on draft night.

We have to grow into a respectable team before any FAs will want to come here.  No one wanted to go to Golden State in 2012 just like no one wants to join us right now.  I don't even blame these guys -- it's a huge risk coming into a losing program in a smaller market.  If Trae/Collins/Cam can turn things around and expand the market here (and win games obviously), we can grow into a program guys have on their short lists.

So that means he can’t be included in any draft day trades correct? Definitely makes a trade more interesting if this years draft picks aren’t involved

I think what this means is multi-year offers for Hayward haven't been great, so he's willing to let Boston try to get value out of him opting in and being used as a trade piece.  Not sure who would be entertaining Hayward trades though as he'd be an expensive 1 year rental

I’m just wondering what we are going to do with all that cap space sitting there. This free agency isn’t great at all.

Interview with Travis Schlenk on 92.9 The Game during the 4 o'clock hour if anyone has a radio handy. Transcription appreciated.

I have it on now -- forgot how much I hate radio, it's like 70% commercials!

@NBASupes  @thecampster

1. Is the 3 teamer trade still on?

2.  Is it more likely to happen tomorrow during the draft tomorrow or on Friday the 20th when FAcy starts?

So what makes Milwaukee's picks better? 

Milwaukee's Package.

Eric Bledsoe, George Hill, and three first rounders. 

The truth is Bledsoe is not that far behind Jrue.   The first rounders are meaningless. Kinda.

Yeah, this is my worry as well... We have $50M to allocate and pretty soon there will be nothing but scraps left.

Honestly I would rather pay someone one year large salary to get to the floor if need be rather than blow the cap on middling talent. Either use it on an AS player like Hayward or a need like backup PG and sit on the rest.

I guess the Hawks will be rummaging thru the leftovers again.  Sigh

[neanderballer]

Even if he opts in, couldn't we absorb him into salary cap space in a trade and then just extend him at a more reasonable number going forward?

It doesn't make sense.  Why would we give up assets for him when he can opt out and sign the same deal with us?

[JayBirdHawk]

Wait a minute...has FAcy started?

Lots of crying already about not signing any FAs when it hasn't officially kicked off.

At least wait until Friday at 6:03PM

Thus the Sad life of Atlanta Hawks continues but here is the thing, if the Hawks can get to the playoffs with this crew then players would love to come to us and not using us as bargain chips to boost other teams offers

Not officially but I'm sure negotiations are well underway.

No doubt...but the only 2 rumors of FAs have been Bogdon from Sac and Rondo
