2020-21 The Current Ask Supes

I think we came out of the draft very well. Jalen could be an absolute steal at 20 much like Collins was at 18 in his draft. Cooper is a shot in the dark as all second round picks are but he does have vision, playmaking ability and could provide a spark.

So we didnt trade away the young core. I'm absolutely shocked.  

My advice to board, your powers of reason will guide you better than non sense rumors.

Nothing is guaranteed, however....'conversations' happen.

Trading Cam and #20 for #13, as was reported by some. Not a snow balls chance in Hades we were going to make that trade.

Looking forward now to the real meat of our offseason. This was the appetizer.

Trading Dunn might be the salad.

Then begins the main course.... in order of priority, not necessarily chronology... (a) JC signed, (b) #2 PG obtained, (c) 1/2 season big obtained.

Desert will be filling out the rest of the rest of the 3rd string.

Just leaving this here:

Quote

• The Timberwolves inquired on Danilo Gallinari prior to Minnesota trading Ricky Rubio to Cleveland. The Hawks shot down the Wolves’ offer. Minnesota ended up trading Rubio to Cleveland for former Hawk Taurean Prince.

@NBASupes @thecampster  Now that the draft is over, we might as well start on the FAcy rumors.   What ya got?

I'm good.

I'mma wait for Zach Klown to post some goodies ...

Any chance Snell comes back on a vet min deal

(He was so underwhelming in the playoffs)

LOL I was just starting work on the state of the Hawks Cap post draft edition.

Yooo .. I was just about to post the same thing, no cap.

Kidding, just chimed in to let folks know it looks like Moses Wright will be playing SL for TOR.  Siakim replacement?

[sturt]

Anxious for ....[Perry Mason intro cues in the background]... what's being overheard from the jury room regarding the Dunn verdict. [... dun... da-dun-dun-dunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn].

[JayBirdHawk]

We can find a team to take Dunn and 2nd into their capspace.  @NBASupes  siad there is a market for Dunn.  Barring that, we would need to find a team with capspace and offer them a 2nd to take him into their capspace (OKC)

I don't think OKC has player space right now. We should find a suitor for Dunn. Maybe not right now but within phase 2 of the FA process.

[sturt]

It matters because the sooner Dunn's verdict is... done... Schlenk knows what cap space he has to work with (which ostensibly, ideally, gets used on some asset--possibly the new vet big--just prior to JC's contract getting... done). Want to have the entire MLE if we need it in order to acquire #2 PG.

I know you said Phase 2 - but it has to be sooner than later to clear any meaningful capspace.

Just think...1 year ago so many were  excited about this signing. Now everyone is trying to get rid of him even if it means giving up draft capital! Lol!

@NBASupes @thecampster

Is there a chance Hawks look to move Gallo during FAcy? We know teams are calling.

Teams that have money to spend but get shut out in Free Agency will turn to the trade market. Teams looking to drop salary (like GS) will look to trade down and out for a player like Gallo.
