All of those names are very productive, especially Norm Powell.

Seriously ? Dealing with Ainge is horrid, then you get the Bastaaaaan fans involved.  
 

I hate that two of my top 40 NBA guys are Celts.. maybe top 30 and neither is Tatum. Gimme Jaylen and Schmart to shut dem down down the stretch. 
 

Boston was also listed as the number 1 most capped team. Is that true @JayBirdHawk? I mean, we are the most cap friendly and flexible 1/30 and they are 30/30? Can we get a 3rd team involved and get Schmart. Or ’s guy Dunn. We need some D. I love FVV but he’s gonna cost an arm and a leg .

Cap space teams

Six NBA teams project to have cap space at $109 million. They just project to have a little bit less than originally thought.

1. Atlanta Hawks: $43.2 million

2. New York Knicks: $41.5 million

3. Detroit Pistons: $28.2 million

4. Charlotte Hornets: $22.5 million

5. Miami Heat: $20.9 million

6. Phoenix Suns: $18.9 million

The first four teams will assuredly seek to be players this offseason. The Hawks are hoping to make the jump to being a playoff team. The Knicks are perpetually rebuilding, this time with a new front office in place. The Pistons have kicked off a rebuild, but still have some big enough salaries that they could look for a quick turnaround. And the Hornets feel they aren’t far from being a playoff team.

The Heat are already making waves that they could choose to roll over their space to the summer of 2021. This could include re-signing their own free agents to big one-year deals. The Suns could choose to do the same. The reason why is twofold. First, the free-agent class projects to be far better in 2021 than this summer. The second reason is that we’ll hopefully be in a more normal cap environment next summer. That means space could go much further in 2021 vs. 2020.

The eight teams that are almost guaranteed to be in or around the tax are:

1. Boston Celtics

2. Brooklyn Nets

3. Golden State Warriors

4. Houston Rockets

5. Los Angeles Clippers

6. Los Angeles Lakers

7. Milwaukee Bucks

8. Philadelphia 76ers

These teams are already in the tax at $115 million or are very close to it.

Will Terrance Ross's numbers really be that good if he doesn't play the Hawks 4 times a year?

[JayBirdHawk]

Should the Hawks take a look at Hartenstein?

I’d pass. He seemed like an ok player with some fundamentals but I’d still pass here.

I haven't looked but are teams who aren't in the playoffs in a different position as far as waiver claims?  Like do we only get to make claims if none of the active teams do?  Seems like that shouldn't be the case, but I'm not taking that for granted.

No, same for all teams, business as usual from what I understand.

Throw the kitchen sink at Brandon Ingram ... if that doesn't work I would go after Kris Dunn and Dillon Brooks and call it a day.  

Well maybe a vet PF too who is looking to teach like Vince.

NOP has a bigger kitchen sink and will most likely match any offer. Dillon Brooks has signed an extension already. So he's not available. Ok with Dunn.

I don't expect to get him but it can't hurt to try ... I didn't know Brooks was already signed.  Thats too bad.  He is an excellent two way player.

As Hawks fans we better get used to seeing a bunch of our players in a bunch of different rumors moving forward and that’s a compliment because of our talented youth. 
 

More often that not, we aren’t going to like the purposes deals from the other 29 teams.

Even now proposals are popping up sending us players like Ayton, Gobert, Harden, Simmons, Iaascs, and of course Wiggins. Just wait until after the draft, free agency, and start of the season. Any team clamoring to rebuild/reload due to failed expectations, their fans will be chasing our youth and the one or two signed free agents with a vengeance,

I think its a hoot teams fans are offering such high caliber players in some instances, Schlenk must be doing something right; despite our record.

Agree with all the above but I’ve only seen a few of the above listed or rumored to us.

Gobert

Simmons

Isaac

Point taken though and ya Schlenk has seriously built a tank here for us in assets and youth.
