Mainly young vets is what I am hearing other then a throw-in older vet. Not sure if those types won't get cut.

Is Jahlil Okafor on our radar? Young hungry player?

They will spend a large percentage of it resigning guys. I don't expect them to be super active in FA considering how active they are right now. 

Resigning guys? Huh

Len and Bembry are our 2 (R)FAs, we are resigning them?

So that means we are targeting guys for trade who are (R)FAs that we are looking to resign or sign to extentions?

[JayBirdHawk]

If they are interesting in re-signing guys we trade for to extensions this off season to use our capspace (also considering that JC is ELIGIBLE for his extension as well): 

1. Are they long term extensions

2. How important is it to maintain capspace flexibility for the 2021 off season if they are re-signing these guys?

At least three COULD be cut.

It just depends on the other teams. Hawks aren't scared to add talent from other deals 

Parsons, Turner, Jones?

What do you mean "from other deals"?

Naw, Supes was all about Scott Machado.

I still won't forgive supes for being all high on Stauskas and Ben Mclemore.

[terrell]

Are we interested in Bogdan Bogdanovich? Or Gallinari?

Or how about Jae Crowder, Marcus Morris, or Baynes? We need shooting and toughness.......(we're too soft)

Tristan Thompson?

Derrick Favors?

Ben finally putting it together in Houston. Sadly, low awareness, personal IQ, and low skill level is a killer. At least he's polished now and a good shooter. He is killing some metrics by a mile.

Nik simply was a PDS player who couldn't athletically play at the NBA level. A poor man's Huerter. Even though Kevin has taken a step back athleticism wise this year due to injury, he is still several tiers better athletically over Nik. I wanted to feel SAC ruined them but those two just wasn't that talented.

I can't give too much specifics but for what I know we are pursuing in the trade deadline. Almost none of these guys are targeted. Maybe one or two been mentioned in the past but not recently. That doesn't mean there isn't interest but it might be unlikely to swing a trade for them.

Nah supers, I'm never gonna let you off the hook on those two.  They stink, especially compared to where they were drafted.

Ben had a very impressive college freshman season. There were plenty that were sold on him based on his shooting, athleticism and his potential. 

[JayBirdHawk]

Any interest in Gorgui Dieng if all other trade targets are too expensive, he can stop gap Center. He has 1yr left at $17.2 million next season.

In Towns' absence over the last 13 games he's averaging:

27 mpg 
13.5 points 
10 rebounds 
2 assists 
3.5 steals + blocks 
57% 2 PT FG% - 44% 3 PT FG% - 83% FT%
For the season Dieng has hit 38% of his 3 pointers. He’s also a career 80+% FT shooter.

Hehe, I love that you won't let it go.  It's been what 3 years?  And it still gets a reaction from you.  Stay you, supers.  Stay you.

Stop bugging @NBASupes so he can get back to more pressing matters - answering important Franchise changing Hawks questions

I have always liked Dieng and just thought the Timberwolves outbid themselves on that contract. That would be a out of left field trade that I would have no problem with.

LOL! He has interest around the league. I don't know if we will get a pick for him but if there is a 1/1 out there, Bembry could be included from my personal take. He didn't tell me what type of interest teams had in Bembry. 

If we had shooters, he would be a great defensive spot player, but we don't.

My man straight attacked me for mentioning McLemore lol.  It’s all love of course.

Yall gotta lay off my boy Bembry, no matter how boneheaded he appears.  Of the 5 most used lineups he’s in both of the positive point ones and none of the 3 negatives:

With proper coaching and vets he’s surely a nice rotation piece for a good team.  Just focus on defending, cutting, and making secondary plays.

He is a current trade target but it's unclear how much at this stage.

Gotcha I would say he if he’s acquired it’s just to see how he looks with trae and Collins but even if he Does fit and plays well with them..I get a sense That Schlenk would still have a worry about giving him max money to keep him.

On the flip side I was thinking about such a deal to get Drummond here and if we kept him I’m sure he’d be on a very strict diet not to lose weight necessarily but just to be better conditioned.

looks like to me Drummond can be a hell of a problem if gets in a bit better shape similar to embiid situation (not that Drummond is embiid but I think you get what I’m saying)...better conditioning would make Drummond an absolute beast on all phases.
